Carrier delivery will be made either Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. For those who still receive their Wednesday newspaper in the mail, watch for New Utah! in Monday's mail. "We will continue to publish our three newspapers and the North Utah County Shopper on as always," says Wednesday Publisher Brett Bezzant, "but with the growth in North Utah County we need to provide more news in a more timely fashion. We think a new weekend edition is just what our area needs." Lehi and Cedar Valley subscribers will continue to receive the Lehi Free Press on Wednesday and New Utah! on Sunday. "Sunday's edition will be a onetime prototype that will give our readers a chance to help create an says publication," Bezzant. "A survey will be inserted as a flyer. After reading through our prototype all-ne- five-minu- those who place ads from out of the area, usually do not consider all three newspapers as one com- edition, please take a few minutes and give us your honest opinions. The survey can be folded and returned by mail or in person. Results will be used to determine future content and in securing long-teradvertising commitments." As an added incentive to return the survey, every reader who completes the survey can also enter a drawing for one of three $100 cash prizes. In answer to the question about the new name, Bezzant says, "Advertisers, and particularly bined medium. Consequently, they only consider the circulation of one of the newspapers. By using a new name for the weekend edition, we can do a better job of selling our full readership. "By the way," he adds, "since we've been concentrating on news content rather than advertising, we're offering some unprecedented advertising rates for the Sept. 14 edition. For details, call our office at advertising deadline is Thursday. Sept. 11 at 5 p.m." The edition will carry high school sports for all four high schools in the north Utah County area, as well as more in depth news analysis than has been possible in the existing newspapers. "We hope to make New Utah! informative and fun," said Managing Editor Marc Haddock. "News content will reflect the interests and lifestyles of the readers or our community-oriented weekly newspapers." Starting a School New school offers promises of strong academic program By RUSS DALY City Editor Starting school may be the easiest tiling John Bushman has done this year since he spent his summer starting a school. It's been a unique experience," said John Bushman, principal of the new Eaglecrest Elementary in northwest Lehi. "It really came together in the last week." The studentbody of nearly 750 is made up mostly of students who attended Sego Lily or Meadow Elementary last year, although a Lehi from few also came Elementary. The school is located at 2790 N. 300 West, near the Ridgepoint and Sunset subdivisions. Bushman was appointed at the end of January 1997. One of the first tasks was to form a committee which would be responsible for selecting the name for the school. Another early task was ordering the furniture, but the problem was finding a place to store the items prior to the official occupancy date. Bushman received permission in to use four rooms to store all of the furniture for the school. Most of the textbooks for the mid-Jul- y school are in place now, although the media center is still a work in progress. "We had about a thousand titles given to us," said Bushman, which will give them a start on the complete collection. The lunchroom, fully functional on the first day of school, has eight permanent tables, as specified in the contract. The school has ordered six more, which will be delivered and installed sometime in October. Until then, the staff sets up 10 folding tables to accommodate the children comfortably. One thing the new school did not More than 250 lack was teachers people applied for the 49 positions available at the center. At least one teacher in each grade level speaks Spanish fluently and Bushman hopes to start language programs in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Russian, all using laser disc technology. In addition, the school plans to offer a choral program. According to Bushman, who has lofty educational goals for the students and teachers, the teachers have mapped out their curriculum See SCHOOL on page 4 'vJ', WiMfl City Editor located at 300 E. 2600 North in an existing RA-- zone.

Thanksgiving Point's request for minor revisions to their area plan to the Planned Community Zoning District at 2095 N. West Frontage Rd. Kal Farr, general manager of Thanksgiving Point, reported that the developers will not be developing the subdivision at the current time, and that they had decided to reintroduce plans for a hotel on the property. He indicated that the first phases of the hotel would include 100 sleeping rooms and a convention facility. Other plans also included a $3 interactive chilmillion, eight-acrdren's garden which they would probably start in Spring of 1998. In response to a request by the Planning and Zoning Commission to meet with members of the City 1 The, Lehi City Council unanimously approved four development approvals at their recent meeting, but requested an additional hearing for a high residential development they had turned down. Approvals at the meeting included the following developments, which had met the requirements from the Development Review Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission: Mark Hampton's request for preliminary plat approval for Carter Ridge Subdivision, Plat C, two lots located at approximately 250 E. 2200 North in an existing zone Councilmember Dee Ray Russon, who made the motion to approve the request, verified that the lot sizes were actually 19,000 square feet and that Hampton would install a six foot chain link fence between the his property and the neighbor's lot.

City okays four development requests By RUSS DALY h Council to discuss why the council had turned down John Hadfield's request for approval of a Tram m ell Crow (TRW) development of high density residential apartments, various councilmenibers explained why they had voted they way they did. Reed Councilmember Sunderland said he felt that TRW had presented misinformation during their public hearing, and that the council had already approved two other high density residential developments in the area. Russon said his two concerns were the 18.7 per acre density, which he said was the highest presented by TRW, which could open development to others who might want to come into the area, as well as the nine large storage units, which TRW said was merely placed on the drawing to show adjacent buildings Councilmember Frances Comer objected to the development on the ground that the action would change the zoning from the current commercial zoning.
