"They are here to be part of a family not just as a guest. They want to experience America." "I feel like I am doing something for our community commu-nity and for peace through understanding in the world," said Marlene, One of the current students stu-dents from Hungary. Greg (Gergely Gaal) when asked about being in America said. "I like it here. Everything is different from my country school, cars, and p'eople."

Bellon The Pleasant Grove City Council officially endorsed the 3-Step Emergency Preparedness program and the ALERT, or Amateur Liaison Emergency Radio Team and plans to educate and encourage citizens to participate in these programs. pro-grams. The local 3-Step program coordinator, Dawn Hadfield was informed of the city's decision to officially sign the proclamation and was invited to speak at the city council meeting. Freeman Andersen, city councilman and longtime advocate of the disaster preparedness program, was especially proud of the city council's decision. The official proclamation was issued last week and stated, "Whereas, the Mayor and City Council's main concern and responsibility responsi-bility is the safety and welfare wel-fare of the citizens of Pleasant Grove City; and whereas, the Mayor and City Council desire to help with pressing needs within our growing community; and whereas there is concern con-cern as to how the City of Pleasant Grove would fare in the case of a large-scale In the last few days the Pleasant GroveLmdon Police Dept. has investigated over 21 reports of windows in vehicles, houses, school buses, and heavy equipment being shot out by marbles, steel ball bearings and other materials. These incidents are in addition to many similar simi-lar window breakings in previous weeks. The value of the windows damaged amounts to several sever-al thousand dollars with some windows being valued at $1,000, $700, and similar amounts. The police department is asking the help of the public in trying to bring these incidents of vandalism to a halt. A reward is being offered by the police department for information leading to arrest and conviction of the suspects sus-pects in these incidents. If anyone sees anything suspicious at all, such as cars driving slowly along city streets late at night, people walking on city streets after dark perhaps in groups, or anything which seems questionable, call the police. The officers would rather investigate something that turns out to be perfectly innocent than to have the vandals get away because no one cares or wants to get involved. No part of Pleasant Grove or Lindon seems to be exempt from the vandalism. In other police matters, a burglary was reported at an apartment complex in Pleasant Grove where a TV valued at $300 and a microwave oven valued at $100 were taken from an exercise room. An office window was found open. The manager said that the windows were all locked when he left. A Lindon business reported that a door had pry marks and inside a new electric fuel pump valued at $300 was missing along with $283 in cash, ball caps valued val-ued at $260, toy models valued at $60. A box containing a TV set was opened but not taken. Damage to the door was set at $30. J In Lindon, a resident reported that a Palm Pilot valued val-ued at $250, lotion valued at $60, and a checkbook were taken from a vehicle. From Front Page Marlene said. To arrange for a student to come and tell about their country to a group or family, call Marlene at 785-3190. They share their traditions and culture, and some basics like what it is like to live in that country now. Many of the students volunteer vol-unteer as teachers aids in the language classes of their native tongue. This is. a great benefit for American students, they hear the language lan-guage spoken by a native, and get to learn first, hand how it is to .live in that country. Each summer Marlene and Ron host a short exchange program for a month at a time. The students stu-dents are from Spain and come to learn English and learn more about America first hand. Ron and Marlene introduce them to LTtah. "We love this community commu-nity and know the students will too," said Marlene. They spend the morning learning English and the afternoon seeing and experiencing expe-riencing this great state. Ron said, "We take them water skiing and to Lagoon. We go" camping and hiking. We want people from all over the world to know what a fun place Utah is." Ron's other job is the manager of "The Car Doctor' at 102 South State in Orem. He has been in the car repair business for 25 vears. For more information about the students exchange programs available avail-able call Marlene or Ron at 7S5-3190. disaster; and whereas, a 3-step 3-step Disaster Preparedness Program and an 'ALERT' Amateur Liaison Emergency Radio Team are active in the City of Pleasant Grove; and whereas, where-as, in an effort to further educate citizens on issues regarding large-scale disasters, disas-ters, the 3-step Disaster Preparedness Program provides pro-vides quarterly meetings, which are open to the public; pub-lic; and whereas, participation participa-tion in these programs will help Pleasant Grove's citizens citi-zens become better prepared pre-pared in the event of a disaster; dis-aster; Now, therefore, I, Edward T.

Wentz also believed that the city had very little transitional zoning and that development was coming com-ing to the area. ' ' V "Like it or not, 1100 North is on the - cusp of development. The ' area is changing." Wentz also said that dividing the property into the two different zones, "Splits the development, it doesn't give us the density we need to be profitable." Bruce Teuscher, a resident resi-dent at the meeting, said, "You bought it at RR, you knew it was half- acre lots. Not that we don't want you to build." Planning commission member Ernest Bramwell added' that animal rights could be a problem with property owners next to the Perry Homes development. The planning commission is still working on an Animal-Rights Animal-Rights ordinance that may grant animal rights to property prop-erty owners who own more than half and acre. The Rl-15 Rl-15 and Rl-20 lots would not qualify for animal rights, but they could be located next to larger lots in which animals are allowed. Fewer than 20 residents were in attendance at the meeting last week. A vote was taken at the end of the meeting where it was decided that most residents resi-dents who were in favor of Perrv Homes staving m the RR or Rl-20 zone 1 3r tJL f n h I itP0? ?

"I e-mailed them (board members), asking them to please take all of Highland or leave us alone, not to take little chunks from each city." Jerrilyn Mortensen, administrative assistant to Alpine Superintendent Vern Henshaw, said about 150 students from Pleasant Grove and Highland will be transferred trans-ferred to American Fork High School this fall. Some parents said they thought American Fork High School is a good school but are concerned because it is too late for their student to try out for various athletic activities. Glen Clark, principal at American Fork High School, said a transition transi-tion team will meet with incoming students from Pleasant Grove and Mountain Ridge Junior High Schools to help them make the adjustment. JoDee Sundberg, board president, said board members, in making the decision, studied each proposal that came to them, each e-mail and letter, listened to telephone conversations and studied all of the issues presented. They also drove the various routes proposed to select what they felt would be the safest. "We desired to do the right thing.
