He said the amendment ensures the proper balance between individual liberty and national security and maintains both a free and secure nation.

Updated on November 30, 2011 at 09:32PM
(WASHINGTON D.C.) – A Senate Judiciary committee is holding a hearing today on the Balanced Budget Amendment prior to a future vote in Congress. In a radio teleconference, Sen. Mike Lee said the committee should move toward passage of the amendment because it’s sound policy. Lee said interest on the federal government’s $15 trillion dollar deficit stands at $200 billion and if the BBA is not passed by Congress, the interest on the debt would skyrocket to $1 trillion over the next ten years. Lee said at that level, the debt would be unsustainable and the financial economy of the U.S. would collapse.
Santa Fe Archdiocese To Oppose License Repeal
Published on November 30, 2011 at 12:36PM
(SANTA FE, N.M.)-KOB-TV, Channel 4 in Albuquerque, N.M. reports Catholic Archbishop Michael Sheehan of the Santa Fe Archdiocese says if New Mexico Governor Susanna Martinez attempts to repeal a state law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, his organization will oppose the effort.
Sheehan told The Associated Press Tuesday that the Archdiocese of Santa Fe has opposed the repeal morally, while Sheehan believes the Archdiocese’s position assisted in swaying public opinion in favor of keeping the law.
Sheehan has said the Archdiocese does not condone people breaking the law, but that New Mexicans should welcome those who are already in the U.S.
Martinez has tried to repeal the law on two previous occasions and vowed to try once again during the next legislative session at Santa Fe.
New Mexico is one of only three U.S. states to issue driver’s licenses to people in the country illegally.
Men arrested at Mt. Pleasant smoke shop
Published on November 30, 2011 at 12:32PM
(MT. PLEASANT) – Two Sanpete County men were arrested for selling illegal “Spice” at their smoke shop in Mt. Pleasant. The Sanpete-Juab Major Crimes Task Force, along with other law enforcement agencies, conducted an investigation for several weeks, on the Puf-n-Stuff Smoke Shop in Mt. Pleasant, located at 509 West Main and found a substance known as “Potpourri.” Investigators say that “Potpourri” is similar to controlled substances that are illegal in the Utah State criminal code. Those arrested, included the owner of the smoke shop, 54-year old Stephen Kunik of Mt. Pleasant and 21-year old Scotty Eliason of Ft. Green. Police said the pair had been selling “Spice” for some time to high school-aged boys and at one time, told an undercover detective that police would shut down the shop if they knew the substance was being sold. Kunik was arrested on four counts of distribution of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone and booked on a $50,000 bail. Eliason was arrested on similar charges and booked on a $40,000 bail. Both men are awaiting trial in the Sanpete County Jail.
Former Fiesta Bowl CCO Due in Court
Published on November 30, 2011 at 12:22PM
(PHOENIX)-The Associated Press reports the former chief operating officer of the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Fiesta Bowl is due in federal court Wednesday for her arraignment.
Natalie Wisneski is charged with filing false income tax returns for the bowl, part of the controversial Bowl Championship Series which purports to determine Division I-A college football’s national championship, by certifying that political contributions were not made.
Wisneski has also been charged with campaign finance violations and conspiracy.
Wisneski is the first person charged in the scandal that led to the dismissal of President John Junker last March.
Junker has not been charged but remains under investigation from both state and federal agencies.
The 47-year-old Wisneski is accused of soliciting campaign contributions from bowl employees for federal, state and local political candidates, while helping to arrange for the bowl to repay them.
Wisneski resigned from her job in March, shortly after bowl president and CEO Junker was fired after the apparent campaign-donation scheme was publicized.
The investigation into the Fiesta Bowl’s conduct under Junker is ongoing and the organization under its new leadership is cooperating.
The Arizona Attorney General is also involved in the probe and an investigation into numerous state politicians who took free tickets from the bowl is also underway.
The annual Fiesta Bowl hosts the so-called national championship every four years even after this scandal broke out, threatening to jeopardize the bowl game’s elite status.
A 276-page report of an investigation conducted by Fiesta Bowl board members and a retired Arizona state Supreme Court justice found the “apparent scheme” to reimburse at least $46,539 for employees’ political contributions.
The report also uncovered spending of $33,000 for a birthday bash for Junker in Pebble Beach, Calif. $13,000 for the wedding of one of his aides and a $1,200 tab at a Phoenix-based strip club.
The report outlined junkets and free football tickets for many Arizona legislators who had not revealed the gifts as required by Arizona law.
The BCS fined the Fiesta Bowl $1 million in June and the National Collegiate Athletic Association placed it on probation for a year.

The Utah Judicial Council must then certify the appointment.
Hearings Occur For Proposed Coal Mine Near Bryce Canyon
Published on November 30, 2011 at 12:09PM
(BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK)-Tuesday evening, federal land managers kicked off the first of five public hearings concerning a proposed coal mine near Bryce Canyon National Park.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management commenced the hearings at Alton, where the 3,500-acre mine would be located.
Other hearings are slated for Wednesday in Kanab, Thursday in Panguitch and for next week in Cedar City and Salt Lake City.
The BLM stated in a draft environment impact statement that the mine could yield about 50 million tons of coal over the course of two decades.
The BLM said the mine would increase employment, boost local economies and provide additional tax revenues.
Environmental groups say the mine would have adverse impacts on wildlife habitat, wetlands and grazing areas.
Tourism would also be hurt because the mine is about 10 miles from Bryce Canyon National Park, environmentalists assert.
St. George Woman Charged in June Hit-and-Run Accident
Published on November 30, 2011 at 12:02PM
(ST. GEORGE)-The Salt Lake Tribune reports a St. George woman who allegedly hit a pedestrian with her car and fled the premises in June has been charged with leaving the scene.
The woman was charged November 22 in 5th District Court with one count of failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving serious injury, a third-degree felony, and one count of failure to stay in one lane, a Class C misdemeanor.
The victim of the hit-and-run accident, 59-year-old St. George resident Marva Cutler, is still recovering from injuries, police stated.
Initially, Cutler was flown to University Medical Center in Las Vegas in critical conditions, but doctors were optimistic about her eventual recovery.
Cutler was struck while jogging in the early morning near 3100 Little Valley Road in the newly-developed southeastern sector of the city.
Authorities said they had learned the driver had spoken with officers at the scene but did not discuss her involvement while she left the scene, but later called police to acknowledge her role in the accident.
New Veterans Homes Planned for Ivins, Payson
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:50AM
(IVINS)-Funding requests for two new veterans nursing homes in Utah, to be located in Ivins and Payson, will see their purpose realized as the Ivins home is slated for groundbreaking Thursday.
The Payson one is expected to have ground broken December 14 and will bring the number of veteran housing homes in the Beehive State to four.
These nursing homes are deemed a valuable asset to aging veterans, with the VA paying anywhere from half to all of the veterans’ living costs should they be accepted into one of the specialty care homes.
Dennis McFall, the deputy director for the state veterans office said he wrote a grants request for the veterans home that would be built in Ogden before retirement in 1999.
McFall said he was asked to come out of retirement in 2002 at which point, 200 eligible veterans were on a waiting list just for the nursing home on the VA hospital campus at Salt Lake City.
McFall says the state paid the $19.7 million construction costs for the Ogden home in entirety and when it did, he and others persuaded the Legislature to set these funds aside for two additional homes that would serve Utah County, where there are 25,000 other veterans and Washington County, where there were 22,000 others.
Utah was behind 46 other projects when the requests for the two additional homes were submitted, stated Terry Schow, the executive director of the Utah Department of Veteran Affairs.
Although other states were higher on the priority list, they fell by the wayside when the VA came calling because they didn’t have sufficient state money in place, Schow said.
Schow said donations came from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, which gave 10 acres in Payson and the city of Ivins donated the land in Washington County.
A consortium consisting of Layton Construction, BWA Architects and Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects is designing and building both of the new nursing homes while McFall said each will employ a full-time staff of between 140 and 150 people earning $4 million in salaries with $4.5 million spent each year on goods and services in their local economies.

California Condor Population Still Struggling in Utah, Arizona
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:43AM
(ZION NATIONAL PARK)-Studies show the California condor continues to suffer from lead poisonings, shootings and human interaction since they were introduced in southern Utah and northern Arizona nearly two decades ago, with little more than half of those released into the wild still surviving.
Efforts have continued to increase their numbers, with the goal of having two geographically separate populations of 150 birds each, one occurring in California, and the other along the Utah and Arizona border, in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument area, near Fredonia, Ariz.
Biologists and public land managers believe these numbers should include at least 15 breeding pairs.
Comments concerning the matter will be accepted through December 16 via email to SWCondorcomments@fws.gov or can be hand mailed to Field Supervisor, Arizona Ecological Services Office, 2321 W. Royal Palm Road, Suite 103 Phoenix, Arizona 85021-4951 and can be faxed to 1-602-242-2513.
Condors were first placed on the endangered species list in 1967, mate for life and can live up to 50 years.
Presently, there are 73 free-flying condors in the southern Utah/northern Arizona region, including seven wild-fledged birds.
U.S. Forest Service Backs Off Boulder Creek Poisoning Plan
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:37AM
(BOULDER)-The Deseret News reports U.S. Forest Service officials have indefinitely called off a plan to poison an 8-mile section of Boulder Creek to kill off non-native trout, replacing them with Colorado cutthroat trout.
Resident opposition to the plan was vehement as town officials accused the federal agency for failure to consider viable alternatives, such as netting or fish barriers.
A letter by Mayor Bill Ruse to the Forest Service said impacts to the water for irrigation, livestock, crops and gardens were not properly considered.
Numerous other groups launched opposition to the proposal to dump rotenone, which is widely used in fish poisoning projects.
The Forest Service contended the poison would have flowed only a half mile downstream of the project area and would have been countered with a neutralizer known as potassium permanganate.
Boulder Creek is operative year-round and flows from Boulder Mountain into Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.
Earlier this month, the Forest Service rescinded its proposal impacting Boulder Creek.
NBA Players To Commence Workouts Thursday
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:31AM
(NEW YORK)-While the new NBA collective bargaining agreement still needs to be ratified by owners and players, a process which is expected to be completed next week, league spokesman Tim Frank said teams have been informed they may open their doors to players Thursday.
A similar thing happened this past summer when the NFL lockout ended in theory July 25, while the CBA was not ratified until August 4.
Teams have been informed that they may host “voluntary player workouts” and physicals in advance of the planned December 9 opening of training camps.
However, coaches and front office officials have not been allowed to attend the workouts until the ratification of the CBA, which has been proposed to last for 10 years, again comparable to the NFL’s newly-inked agreement.
Additionally, agents have commenced talking to teams concerning their clients as of early Wednesday morning but deals cannot be offered, yet another dynamic that can only begin under the new CBA’s parameters.
Uintah Basin Garbage Trucks Join Underage Drinking Campaign
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:26AM
(ROOSEVELT)-ABC4 in Salt Lake City reports garbage trucks in eastern Utah are exhorting parents to prevent their kids from getting “trashed” in a new ad campaign against underage drinking.
Roosevelt-based K&K Sanitation has wrapped seven of its Duchesne and Uintah County-based garbage trucks with anti-alcohol messages from www.parentsempowered.org.
The Deseret News reports the banners were funded via a grant through the state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control while the family-owned sanitation company is displaying the ads for free.
Similar ads appeared in the Salt Lake Valley in 2009.
A survey conducted earlier this year shows 9.1 percent of northeastern Utah students reported alcohol use in the past 30 days while the number was above the state average of 8.6 percent.
Groups Filing Opposition To Vegas Water Pipeline
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:20AM
(LAS VEGAS)-The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports conservation groups and others are asking a Nevada state official to deny a proposal to pump groundwater from eastern Nevada and subsequently pipe it to Las Vegas.
Tuesday, the Center for Biological Diversity announced it sent more than 21,000 comments to Nevada State Engineer Jason King in opposition to the project, pioneered by the Las Vegas-based Southern Nevada Water Authority.
The group also said it will submit the comments to the water board Wednesday.
Friday is the deadline for written comments following the November 18 conclusion of weeks of hearings on the massive pipeline plan.
The water authority wants to siphon water from four valleys in Lincoln and White Pine Counties in eastern Nevada and pipe it roughly 300 miles to Las Vegas.
The Review-Journal reported King’s decision is expected by March.
BLM holds first meeting on mine expansion
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:15AM
(ALTON) – The first of a series of meetings over a coal mine expansion was held last night in Alton. The Utah Bureau of Land Management held its first open house to answer questions from the public concerning an application by Alton Coal Development to expand its mining operation from 600 acres on private land to 3500 acres on federal lands. Most of those who attended the meeting were concerned over the increase in traffic and possible light pollution with the mine’s proximity to Bryce Canyon National Park. Keith Rigtrup, district planner for the Color Country office of the BLM in Cedar City, has led the effort to prepare the draft environmental impact statement for the proposed expansion. He said light pollution would be negligible because Bryce Canyon can’t be seen from the mine in northern Kane County. Mine officials say coal will be trucked through Panguitch to a load-out facility in Cedar City before being sent to the IPP near Delta. Public comment will be taken at various locations affected by the mine expansion until Jan. 6, 2012.
Buffett's Berkshire To Buy Omaha Newspaper Company
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:11AM
(OMAHA, Neb.)-Wednesday, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway said it is buying the Omaha World Herald-Co. and will expand the firm’s newspaper holdings notwithstanding his Buffett’s misgivings about the industry.
Omaha-based Berkshire said it had agreed to buy Buffett’s hometown newspaper while terms of the deal, which must be approved by the Omaha World-Herald’s employee owners and other shareholders, were not disclosed.
The deal also consists of daily newspapers the Omaha World-Herald owns in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Grand Island, Neb., York, Neb., Kearney, Neb., North Platte, Neb. and Scottsbluff, Neb.
Wednesday, Buffett did not immediately respond to an interview request while previously Berkshire’s chairman and chief executive said he would be unlikely to add its newspaper investments because of the industry’s dwindling returns.
Presently, Berkshire owns the Buffalo (N.Y.) News and has a significant investment in the Washington Post Co.
Two years ago, Buffett told Berkshire shareholders most newspapers face the possibility of unending losses as the industry had lost its essential nature.
However, Wednesday, Buffett stated the World-Herald Co. is in better shape than most newspapers.
250 Arrested at Los Angeles, Philadelphia Protests
Published on November 30, 2011 at 11:03AM
(LOS ANGELES)-The Associated Press reports early Wednesday in Los Angeles, more than 1,400 police officers, some decked in riot gear, cleared the Occupy Los Angeles camp, driving protesters from a park around City Hall and arresting more than 200 who defied orders to leave.
Similar raids in Philadelphia led to 52 arrests, although the overall specter in either U.S. city was peaceful.
Both Los Angeles and Philadelphia police forces moved in on Occupy Wall Street protests amid darkness in efforts to clear out some of the longest-lasting protest sites since crackdowns ended similar occupations throughout the country.
LAPD officer Cleon Joseph stated as of 5:10 a.m. PST, the park was clear of protesters while mayor Antonio Villaraigosa raised public safety and health concerns.
In Philadelphia, mayor Michael Nutter said police officers involved in the operation were “hand-picked” for the assignment and police began pulling down tents around 1:20 a.m. EST Wednesday after giving demonstrators three warnings that they had to leave.
Horses May Soon Be Slaughtered for Meat in U.S.
Published on November 30, 2011 at 10:53AM
(TULSA, Okla.)-The Associated Press reports horses may soon be butchered in the U.S. for human consumption after Congress quietly repealed a 5-year-old ban on funding horse meat inspections and activists say slaughterhouses may be up and running in as little as a month.
Slaughter opponents pushed a measure cutting off funding for horse meat inspections through Congress in 2006 after other efforts to pass outright bans on horse slaughter failed in previous years.
Congress lifted the bill in a spending bill President Barack Obama signed into law November 18 to keep the government afloat until mid-December.
Tuesday, the USDA issued a statement saying there are no slaughterhouses in the U.S. butchering horses for human consumption presently, but if one were to open, it could conduct inspections to ensure federal law was being followed.
USDA spokesman Neil Gaffney declined to answer any questions beyond what was already in the statement.
The last U.S. slaughterhouse that butchered horses closed in 2007 in Illinois while animal welfare activists warned of massive public outcry in any town where a slaughterhouse may open.
U.S. Representative, Democrat Jim Moran of Virginia, stated he is lobbying colleagues to permanently ban horse slaughter as he believes the process to be inhumane.
Gingerbread Replica of Salt Lake Temple on Display in Norway
Published on November 30, 2011 at 10:44AM
(STAVANGER, Norway)-Organizers of a gingerbread competition in the Norwegian city of Stavanger became impressed with an LDS Norwegian family’s depiction of The Salt Lake Temple, according to a report in the Stavanger Aftenblad.
The creator, Elin Lundegard, said she made the replica of the famous temple by enlarging a photo on a projector and creating a simplified blueprint.
Lundegard said this process took several hours a day for about a week but was not frustrated as she noted it took 40 years for the actual temple to be constructed.
The display was entered in a competition which occurs annually in Stavanger, a city of 126,469 residents situated near the southwestern coast of the Scandinavian country.

Published on November 30, 2011 at 10:34AM
(SALT LAKE CITY)-According to recently published information from the Utah Office of Tourism, tourism revenues are up in the state.
Records show in 2010 that total spending from travelers and tourists in Utah climbed 4.7 percent in 2010 to $6.53 billion.
Total direct sales and local taxes generated by traveler spending were up 4.4 percent to $841 million in 2010, including $500 million in state taxes and $341 million in local areas, according to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget.
Additionally, the domestic and international visitors also jumped to 20.2 million last year, representing an increase of 4.2 percent.

Information released by the state also depicts travel and recreation-related employment accounted for 122,839 jobs in 2010, a 2.2 percent increase from the previous year.
The data also indicated that visitation at Utah’s national and state parks last year grew at a clip of 1.2 percent for national parks and 1.3 percent for state parks, respectively.
Utah Scientist Accused of Stealing Trade Secrets For Competing Company
Published on November 30, 2011 at 10:27AM
(LOGAN)-A Utah scientist is facing federal charges for allegedly stealing trade secrets from a northern Utah chemical company.
The 42-year-old Prabhu Mohapatra worked as a senior scientist at Frontier Scientific Inc. of Logan from October 2009 through November 2011, while last month he emailed proprietary chemical “recipes” to his India-based brother-in-law who was setting up a competing company, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
Frontier has said no other company in the world produces one of these chemicals in large quantities.
Documents attest a co-worker saw Mohapatra, a North Logan resident, creating files consisting of the recipes on his laptop and emailed them while the worker reported this activity to management.
When confronted, Mohapatra admitted his involvement and apologized, documents confirmed.
Mohapatra then followed up with an email to the chief operating officer, saying he realized his job could be in peril because of his actions.
Federal prosecutors proceeded to charge Mohapatra with theft of trade secrets, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Prosecutors sought no detention and Mohapatra was released with custody, but surrendered his passport.
