But his 13 years on Utah's death row ended at 1 13 a.m. MDT in the state's first execution since 1977. Just prior to the injection, prison Warden Gerald Cook said he asked Pierre if he had "any final words and he stated, 'Nothing, but I just thought ask the pastor to send any money I have left to William Andrews." Pierre and William A. Andrews, 33, Jonesboro, were convicted in the April 22, 1974, brutal slayings of three people during a $24,000 robbery of an Ogden, Utah, stereo store.

Andrews' death sentence is still on appeal. Cook said, "I then asked him if he had anything else to say and he said, 'Thank you, I'm just going to say my After the warden motioned to the executioners to proceed, about 1:02 a.m., he said, "the only thing I noticed after the drugs were started, he seemed to take a couple of sharp breaths and that was the only thing I noted."

The Flowers, Esplin and the council debated who should inspect the site and how much and what type of inspection should be required for nearly an hour before agreeing to hold a later meeting between the two organizations to work out conflicts on the issue. City officials, including Esplin and Councilman Randy Wilkinson, said they wanted certification that the Kleinfelder and Assoc.

engineering plan was being followed at the site and that they wanted to avoid any potential city liability if there were later problems at Shadow Hills. The Flowers said they 'felt they were being singled out and stuck with expensive requirements for their project that were not required of other contractors. "The hillside must be inspected more than construction on a flat surface," Esplin said. "It's worse if a (water) line breaks on a hill The project warrants more concern than normal because of the locations." Council members also asked the Flowers about complaints they had received about dust from those living near the site. Craig Flowers said that they had been instructed by their attorney not to comment on the issue because the city has pressed criminal charges against the company in connection with the dust.

White House spokesman Marlin Fitzwater said Reagan, bound by an agreement with Wright, could not offer a firm commitment before Sept. 30 but signaled support for the rebel plan, y' "We find the resistance proposal to be a constructive, forthcoming approach that we can generally support," Fitzwater said.

In a statement on independent television 13 hours after the rebellion began, a grim and angry-looking Aquino said her government was firmly in control and the military was ordered to crush the mutiny "as soon as possible." Col. Honesto Isleta, an armed forces spokesman, said rebel soldiers led by Honasan were ordered to "come out so we can stop the killing. The order to the task group is to take them dead or alive." Aquino's only son, Benigno Aquino HI, 27, was wounded by rebels shoot David Sam, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court each refused to grant stay requests.

After the high court rejected efforts to delay the execution, Gary DeLand, state Corrections Department director, said Pierre told him "he felt fine" and was prepared. He was moved off death row, into a special death-watch cell Wednesday night. Twenty minutes before his execution, Pierre was stripped, searched and given another set of clothes, and walked the 100 feet to the execution chamber. Utah has not had an execution since Gary Gilmore went before a firing squad Jan. 17, 1977, in the nation's first execution after the Supreme Court lifted its ban on capital punishment in 1976.

When Gilmore was taken off Utah's death row 10 V2 years ago, he reportedly told Pierre and Andrews, "You're next."

Each was then shot in the head. Three died. The U.S.

The lawyer said he would call witnesses to testify on the effects of proposed construction on the plant life and scenic and recreational resources in the area. Other witness would say the Burr Trail was not constructed by Garfield County and, therefore, belongs to the BLM, Petty said. But in his opening statement, Garfield County attorney Ron Thompson said the Burr Trail has been acknowledged by the BLM as under county control and been shown on maps as belonging to the county since 1956.

Thompson said the road has been maintained by Garfield County since the 1940s at considerable expense. Garfield County has a "broad right of way and the BLM has indicated they do," Thompson said. He said since the road is acknowledged as being under county control, no Environmental Impact Statement is required before construction can begin on the $800,000 project. cerns about the incinerator. Rollins has started wading through governmental regulations to get proper permits for the site, has conducted preliminary engineering and drilling on its proposed Beryl site.

Preliminary approval for a zone change on 1,200 acres of land near Beryl was granted by the Iron County Planning and Zoning Commission at its July meeting. Wood says she thinks Rollins and the Iron County planners are moving too quickly. "What we want is a moratorium on waste incinerators in Iron County until we can study this thing a little more," she said. "We're concerned for our families, our farms and our way of life." Escalante Valley Coordinating Council Chairman Marvin Bracken also appeared at Thursday's commission meeting to report on a meeting held by the council last week in which valley residents aired fears and concerns over the waste dump. Bracken told commissioners that in his role as chairman, he plans to keep a neutral stance on the waste dump issue.

He pointed out at the public meeting held in Beryl Junction that all valley residents aren't totally opposed to the idea of the SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) An attorney for an environmental group told a federal judge Thursday Garfield County does not have an automatic right to make improvements to the scenic Burr Trail. But during the opening day of a trial over the proposed improvements, Garfield County attorneys said the dirt road running from Boulder to Lake Powell has Deen recognized for years as a county road. U.S. District Judge Aldon Anderson is presiding over the trial in a lawsuit by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups to halt construction on the road that runs through federal land. Anderson has prohibited construction pending outcome of the trial.

Wayne Petty, attorney for the environmentalists, told Anderson during opening arguments Garfield County is limited in what improvements it can make on the trail by the Federal Land Management Policy Act.

The St. George City Council officially agreed to endorse the city staff's recommendation that a proposed frontage road from along 1-15 from the St.

George east interchange through Middleton to the Washington interchange be excluded from a planned project to modify the interchange. The original plan had included modification of the east interchange, the construction of a south frontage from, the interchange to Telegraph and a north frontage road through Middleton. However, due to widespread objection to the road by Washington City and Middleton residents, city officials say they will exclude the road from the project and try to work out problems with the project. "We still feel we still need the road in future years but we will do it to expedite planning," City Manger Gary Esplin said. "We will look at solving problems we have no current answers to We want a dialogue with Washington City." St.

Dumpbusters has organized a library of literature relating to Rollins and the dumping and incinerating of hazardous wastes in general, Wood said. "The more we learn about it, the more scared we get," said Dumpbus-ter member Karen Berry. "I don't trust them (Rollins)." The immediate goal of Dumpbusters is to make certain members of the Iron County Planning and Zoning Commission know that many property owners in the Escalante Valley are not in favor of allowing a zone change for purposes of the waste disposal site, Wood said.

The Planning Commission will meet Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in room 204 of the Southern Utah State College Old Administration Building. Discussion of the establishment of a task force to study the location of a hazardous waste disposal site is one of the agenda items. County Attorney Scott Burns and other county leaders will meet with a lawyer representing Rollins Wednesday morning to discuss a timetable for the changing of the Planning Commission's conditional approval of the zone change request into formal approval, Burns said Thursday.

"Our goal is to kill it as soon as possible, and at the lowest level of government that we can," said Tammi Wood of Beryl, who is one of the group organizers.

Contra leaders were headed for Texas today to confer with House Speaker Jim Wright, D-texas, on an aid proposal given a tentative endorsement Thursday by Reagan in a meeting that drew protests to his hotel.
