"A 10-year-old Eagle Mountain boy died Thursday afternoon after the 4-wheeler he was riding with his baby sitter rolled off a 22-foot cliff.
Tooele County sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Johnson said the boy was riding behind his 31-year-old female baby sitter at the Five Mile Pass Recreation Area, on the border of Tooele and Utah counties.
He said the pair rode up a steep embankment when the ATV either cut out or died and rolled backward off the cliff. When emergency personnel arrived, they found the pair lying to the right of the ATV."-SLTrib

No Grocery Store, But Eagle Mountain May Get Wakboard Park
"Wakeboarding without needing a boat is the object of a proposed recreation park that would be situated just south of the Pony Express Regional Park in Eagle Mountain.
Wasatch Wake Park would initially have two man-made rectangular lakes, each 100 feet wide and 680 feet long, where wakeboarders would be pulled from one end of the lake to the other by an overhead cable system. A second phase would add a circular lake approximately 620 feet by 700 feet with an island in the middle that also has an overhead cable system."-KSL.com

Eagle Mtn: Utah County Prosecutor Rules Death An Accident
The Utah County Attorney’s Office will not file charges against a man who ran over and killed another man in November.
Brett L. Ostler, 29, of Magna, fell out of the truck after striking the driver, said Guy Probert, deputy attorney for Utah County. Ostler rode with Eric W. Porter, then 26, to a store before returning to a party in Eagle Mountain. When Porter said he did not want to remain at the party, Ostler got out of the truck and slammed the door, Probert said.
Porter yelled not to slam the door and Ostler opened the door and started punching Porter, Probert said. Porter’s foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator, running over Ostler, Probert said.
Probert said the death was an accident.-SLTrib

Eagle Mtn: Resale Fee on Real Estate
REBECCA AND TRENT DUPAIX of Eagle Mountain, Utah, spent a year searching for their dream home. The couple, who have five children, considered 15 to 20 houses before finding “the one.”
They were thrilled when they closed on a $227,000, rock-and-stucco home with five bedrooms and two and a half baths in March 2009.
But four months later, when a local television reporter was doing a story on housing taxes in their subdivision, the Dupaixs discovered that their sales contract included a “resale fee” that allows the developer to collect 1 percent of the sales price from the seller every time the property changes hands — for the next 99 years.
Mrs. Dupaix, 34, says she and her husband had no clue about the fee when they closed on the house. “Of course we were upset,” she says. “We didn’t know about it, and our closer at the title company didn’t know about it.”
Other buyers gutsy enough to venture into the battered housing market in the hope of scoring a bargain might be wise to check the fine print before popping open the Champagne and signing on the dotted line.
A growing number of developers and builders have been quietly slipping “resale fee” covenants into sales agreements of newly built homes in some subdivisions. In the Dupaix contract, the clause was in a separate 13-page document — called the declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions — that wasn’t even included in the closing papers and did not require a signature.-NYTimes
