KSTU, SALT LAKE CITY, UT This Report Covers the Time Period September 1, 2003 – August 31, 2004 (Except Where Otherwise Specifically Noted) KSTU, SALT LAKE CITY, UT This report covers the time period September 1, 2003 – August 31, 2004 (except where otherwise specifically noted). Local Newscasts and Key Stories KSTU airs 31.0 hours of local news each week, at the following times: Monday – Friday, 5:25 a.m. – 9 a.m. Monday – Friday, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Monday – Friday, 9 p.m. – 10 p.m. Saturday, 5 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Saturday, 9 p.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday, 5 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Sunday, 9 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. Provided below is a brief summary of important local news issues that KSTU has covered recently within its local news broadcasts: * Education – If your kid misses too much school in Utah... You could end up in trouble with the law. A state law enacted a couple years ago is now being enforced in several school districts. The law says if a child has 10 or more unexcused absent days a year, that child's parents can be charged with a class b misdemeanor. * Law Enforcement – One of Utah’s most wanted is on the run this morning after a standoff in Salt Lake City. Police got a tip that Daniel Joseph Chivers was in a home in the Rose Park area...and when they arrived they say he spotted them and took off... Police say Chivers broke into a nearby home of a family and held them hostage for a for a short time...he then fled the home and is currently on the run. Chivers originally was wanted by police after allegedly leading them on a vehicle chase with 19-year-old Jeremy Bradford...Bradford was arrested while Chivers fled the scene. Police want Chivers for possession of a stolen vehicle, and weapons charges. Police say he could be armed and dangerous so, if you see him, you are asked to avoid him, and call 9-11. * Religion – Supreme Court justices must decide if the words "under God" violate a child's first amendment rights. Yesterday morning a Taylorsville Christian school rallied around the flagpole at city hall to recite the pledge of allegiance. Christian schools nationwide staged the event as part of a joint effort. But one Utah atheist group says the words under God should be taken out of the pledge for good. * Economy – The city of Ogden might be taking away alcohol licenses from vendors. All because the mayor and some business owners say cheap beer is bringing out panhandlers and transients. The city is trying to revitalize part of town and too many complaints are forcing action. So business owners and residents from Ogden spoke out last night. * Development – The church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints announced a major facelift for downtown Salt Lake yesterday. Two downtown malls will become one large shopping center. The crossroads parking structure will move underground and two high-rise residential buildings are in the works as well. The BYU Salt Lake center and LDS business college will also move downtown to the parking lot that housed the Olympic medals plaza.

An energy bill set to face U.S. congress could bring more radioactive waste to Utah. The U.S. house bill would cause the waste to travel from Ohio to TOOELE County. Envirocare would store the water in TOOELE County, and the waste would be 26 times more concentrated than allowed by current state laws. Utah congressman rob bishop, a former Envirocare lobbyist, sponsors the provision that brings more waste to the state. LOCAL ISSUE DATE NEWSCAST ENVIRONMENT 9/20/04 6A DESCRIPTION Mile canyon fire a forest fire in six-mile canyon has been burning for 56 days. The forest service is calling it a controlled burn... But homeowners say it came too close their property Saturday morning. The forest service says it will allow the fire to continue burning until it's put it out by either snow or rain. The service says the fire is needed for rejuvenation and new growth in the canyon. Good news for people in the area, weekend rain put the majority of the fire out.

LOCAL ISSUE DATE NEWSCAST ENVIRONMENT 9/9/04 525A DESCRIPTION Scientists are trying to figure out what went wrong with a space capsule that crashed in Utah’s west desert. Helicopters were supposed to move in and catch the capsule - but the parachute never deployed. That problem sent the object straight into the ground - the genesis capsule impacted at more than 190 miles an hour. The capsule was carrying fragile plates filled with the suns atoms - collected during a six-year journey. "When it hit the ground, there was a moment of, did this really happen, but as soon as we got over the shock we went into the contingency plan” “what you have here is a component failure, we don’t know which one, that prevented the capsule from doing the right thing " NASA will convene a board to investigate the crash. The members should be picked in a day or two, but it will likely be months before any results come in. LOCAL ISSUE DATE NEWSCAST ENVIRONMENT 7/28/04 6A DESCRIPTION Firefighters are hoping to have the upper hand sometime today on the Jones wildfire. The fire - sparked by lightning Saturday - is burning about 20 miles north of saint George.

Other states with high computer use include Alaska, o New Hampshire, Washington, and Colorado. Utah also ranks high in home internet use. According to the Census Bureau, 63 percent of Utah households have access to the internet in their homes, which ranks Utah as 5th highest in the nation. This represents a dramatic improvement in the last few years. In 2001 Utah ranked 14th in the nation in internet usage, when 54 percent of respondents reported that they used the internet in their homes. "Home computer use and internet use are important economic development tools, particularly as we continue our efforts to convince technology savvy companies to grow or expand in Utah," said Governor Huntsman. Robert Spendlove, the Manager of Demographic and Economic Analysis in the Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, said that Utah's high ranking is consistent with the State's young, well-educated population.
