A cloud burst moved across the west face of the mountains causing damage at numerous places in Pleasant Grove. The downpour above the narrow canyon created a liquid wall that forcefully rolled out of the mouth of Grove Creek narrowly missing the Joseph S. Walker house. A flood came past our house through the yardi it was about 50 feet wide and about t&fiet deep with nothing hut rocks and trees a rolling down through there.

Councilman David Holdaway said that the Space Center at Central Elementary is a spotlight just bought a new Model A Ford. I was about eight years old and I remember to this day, mother loading load-ing me up in this big rain storm and going up through our yard and pulling the car up in the field so it wouldn't get trapped in the garage.. The creek was so close to the house there. Well, the water went across the bridge and the car was trapped up there for about two weeks before we could get the bridge in so we could get it back out of the field. Joseph S. Walker had earlier battled the July 1914 , flood, described as a "thrilling experience:" experi-ence:" In fact, he became "immersed in the muddy stream." The area from the canyon through Walker's property was flooded so often it became known as the Walker Wash. - - ...

This will be a park that schools and classes will use during the school year. Mr. Hammond added that this would be another side of the children's chil-dren's education that would be well served. Mike said other goals which they have set up include having 1,600 volunteers to build the project pro-ject by April 1, and have all of the donated materials by that date, also. It must have been assumed that man had to endure the exuberance of nature's whims exacerbated by man's overuse of the mountain lands. For ways of coping with excess water became a way of life, but protection against floods was not seriously dealt with until the CCC Camp came to town in 1935. The following winter the Pleasant Grove unit constructed the flood basin or rock-check dam that provided a bowl to collect and store excess water. Flood gates were installed in the dam to control con-trol the runoff from the basin. To 'attest to the date that, the CCC men did their work on the basin, an involved Ohio man left his initials ini-tials and the year set in cement on the side of the north spillway (still there in 1995).

Metzger-Agin asks city safety help Gene Metzger-Agin, representing represent-ing the PTA at Central Elementary School, asked the Pleasant Grove City Council last week for help in increasing safety for children going to and from the school. He said that people drive about 70 mph going past the school sometimes. some-times. He added that there is too much traffic and too many buses near the school.
