Cameo Florist 695 East Tabernacle 628-2632 By The Associated Press over three months remaining before the election, Salt Lake City Mayor Deedee Corradini is in the hunt virtually alone for re-election to a second term. And with just three weeks left before the filing deadline, time may be running out for anyone interested in mounting the kind of campaign necessary to oust an incumbent. Doug Foxley thought about it.

So did Dave Jones and Dave Buhler. But they didn't jump in. And Stephen M. Harmsen. Gene Davis and Richard 'B.

McKeown are still thinking it over. 76001 The prospect that Foxley, a wealthy lobbyist and attorney, might run ended when Foxley realized he didn't really want the job. "I woke up one day and basically concluded I didn't have a burning desire in my heart to be mayor of Salt Lake City." Foxley said. "My head knew how to get there. but my heart wasn't willing to follow." Three people none with major political experience have entered the race: Joseph Irish.

Lawrence Topham and Nelson Gonzalez. Corradini plans to SALT LAKE CITY With just run but has not yet filed. "I think most serious candidates for a major office like that need to be organized by spring of the election year. if not before." said Mike Zuhl. State Democratic Party chairman.

"Despite what some people think might be vulnerability on Deedee Corradini's part, there are not serious contenders at this stage of the race." "It's very late." said Republican Brent Overson. Salt Lake County Commission chairman. "In my estimation, it's too late. It takes a lot of money, effort and organization to be geared up to do. something of this magnitude." on Even Foxley, who, has enough of his own money to jump-start a credible campaign, says timing is a problem.

"There is no question that at this stage, if somebody gets into the race it is going to be difficult." Foxley said. "It would have been better if I had run to announce late last year." Success at this late date is a problem, but not impossible. Foxley said. People either like Corradini or dislike her, he said. His opinion is bolstered by polls that show very few people fall in the "don't know" category when asked to rate the mayor.

Feds will help in Games disputes SALT LAKE CITY The U.S. Forest Service is working with Olympics organizers and the mayor to ensure the 2002 Winter Games are "environmentally sound." James R.
