For Danyelle Key of Grangeville, it was a painful reminder of the father she still misses. Douglas Deen died in a car accident while trying to respond to another accident near Lucky Peak on Aug. 5, 1979.

Td prefer that they honor the officers while they're alive," she said at Friday's ceremony. "I don't think people realize that these officers go out and risk their lives every day, and that they have families waiting for them to come home." The star-shaped brick memorial on the Department of Law Enforcement's grounds is the first tribute to officers in Idaho, where 49 police officers and other law enforcement personnel have died in the line of duty since 1904. In their honor, the Boise Police Pipe Band played, and four Idaho Air National Guard planes cast shadows across the memorial's July 4th 5th at the Twin Falls County Fairgrounds Filer, ID 2 Day Country Music Festival 1 VENDORS WANTED lv Merchandising Food Vendors of all types needed for 2 day Country Music Festival to jjJ v'- .7 cm be held over the a Rj 4th of July Weekend. jjj For more information call 208-678-5589 Geologic records of Pleistocene may disappear under urban sprawl SALT LAKE CITY (AP) For 15,000 years, the shoreline of prehistoric Lake Bonneville has endured as a ribbon-like remnant of beaches etched by ancient waves along the Salt Lake Valley's rim. Now, perhaps within a generation, one of the most visible geologic records of the Pleistocene era's inland sea could disappear, covered by upscale foothill subdivisions or dug up and hauled away as construction material.

It's a mostly silent struggle pitting northern Utah's growth expected to quadruple the region's population by 2045 against a natural treasure. And so far, growth is winning, fueled by the hunger of homeowners for scenic venues and open space. "You can actually just take away the whole thing," warns Marjorie Chan, a University of Utah geology professor. "Whole areas (of the shoreline) will probably be covered with houses in my lifetime. "Where shall we draw the line?" she asked.

"There's only one Zion National Park, one Canyonlands, so we preserve them. Well, there's only one Bonneville shoreline, too." Bonneville's most-noted legacy is the Great Salt Lake, at 80 miles long and 35 miles wide a briny puddle compared to its predecessor. Bonneville, 1,000 feet higher, covered northwestern Utah and adjacent portions of Idaho and Nevada. Lesser known has been the geologic and fossil treasure house that is the bygone lake's shoreline, where wave-cut cliffs and layers of sediment entomb mammoths, mastodons and extinct cousins of modern-day horses, camels, musk oxen and bison. Chan's colleague, of geography professor Don Currey, says such "nuggets" make saving at least some of the shoreline critical.

And, in 20 years of studying Bonneville's leftovers, Currey has found some candidates for preservation. The north side of Point of the Mountain is one. Named for a spot where the Wasatch and Oquirrh mountains nearly converge about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City, it marks what was once a huge Bonneville beach. Other candidates include Salt Lake Valley's glacial moraines at the mouths of Little Cottonwood A self-Kelp support group for men with prostate cancer. The group provides a forum in which you and your family can discuss with other patients and their families, problems and anxieties you have concerning the disease.

The group is a source of information to new patients requiring treatment and former patients interested in keeping up to date with information concerning prostate cancer.

For 15,000 years, the shoreline of prehistoric Lake Bonneville has endured as a rlbbon-IIke remnant of beaches etched by ancient waves over the millennia along the Salt Lake Valley's rim. Eventually, Christiansen said, the development will hold 1,800 residences selling in the range and higher. "We probably should all be living downtown in high rises to save some of this open space for future generations," Christiansen acknowledged. "But nobody wants to do that Everybody wants their own little piece of open space." "Developers develop where the demand is. If people want views, then that's where we build," he said.

"But if you look at the predictions, this whole (Salt Lake) vaUey win be filled by 2045." Christiansen referred to a report released by Envision Utah. The long-term planning advocacy group has predicted the Greater -Wasatch Area a 10-county area stretching from Brigham City south to Nephi will have 5 million residents in less than 50 years.

LEWISTON (AP) The Lewiston Chamber of Commerce is considering creating its own political action committee to address issues such as the proposed breaching of four dams on the lower Snake River. "Maybe this is the next step for us in terms of increasing our effectiveness," chamber President Todd Klabenes told the group's and Bell's canyons, and the Stockton bar, a sand and gravel ridge near the city of Tooele ash-ioned by die extinct lake's waves. "We have laws to protect human antiquities, from a house that is more than 50 years old to ancient Indian artifacts," Currey said. "But except for fossils, which are protected by law, there's nothing to protect geological antiquities.
