The only way we are going to reap any benefits from this plan is by getting get-ting citizen input," said Fenton. "We will get people thinking and introduce the C.E.D.A.R. process." That stands for cultural, educational, developmental, developmen-tal, agricultural and recreational, she explained. "People will designate what is important pertaining to those categories," cate-gories," she said. The project goals include: Creating a conceptual plan for infrastructure that blends open lands and transportation on a regional scale. Exploring alternatives for future development and designating techniques tech-niques to achieve them. Enhancing coordination between north Utah County communities on future growth and infrastructure. Those who attend will help explore alternatives to current development patterns and create a future infraT structure which will be logical. They will also help predict potential con flicts in annexation between communities commu-nities and the future patterns of development in unincorporated areas. "It is an amazing process," said Fenton. Fen-ton. "The whole plan is based on what the community says." She added that individuals who attend will also be kept up to date about the process, and will receive newsletters and press releases about future events. "Cities will get toolboxes and implementation ideas." One of the tools they will use is an open space inventory they will prepare. pre-pare. They will also look at concepts for a regional open space system to coordinate between the communities. Some of the latest technology will be available to assist them. They will use GIS (Geographic Information Systems) mapping data supplied by the county, cutting edge aerial photos from the IKONOS satellite, satel-lite, transportation modeling of impacts, and GIS mapping of important impor-tant green spaces, natural resources and building constraints.

It is an award recognized recog-nized by accounting professionals, profes-sionals, "underwriters, securities secu-rities analysts, bond rating agencies, state and federal agencies, and education teachers and citizen groups alike. A second award, the Certificate Cer-tificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for 2001, has been awarded by the Government Gov-ernment Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for the comprehensive annual financial report. This is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting. Holbrook also received a Certificate ..of Recognition for the early implementation implementa-tion of GASB34, a new way of reporting governmental financing." He was instrumental instru-mental in pioneering the way for implementation in Utah and in-serviced many Utah school district officials. By Greg Hall Quietly and without fanfare, fan-fare, the angel Moroni statue stat-ue was replaced atop the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple Monday, Sept. 9 for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The original statue was damaged dam-aged by lightning and had become marred. Interestingly, other temples tem-ples have also had the Moroni statue replaced because of weather related damage, although it is not generally publicized when this occurs. Earlier reports suggested the original statue would possibly be restored to its original luster and would remain in place, but on Monday, that decision was put to rest as a new statue was placed in its stead. As the figure was lifted into the air against the . clear, blue sky, a number of children watched wide-eyed as the statue floated slowly upward and was carefully placed on top of the empty " steeple.' In addition to being a symbol of truth to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Moroni statue is also designed to be a lightning rod as it is placed on top of the temple, but in the case Your "Goodie" Store for Chain BEST BUY - Save $$ 1 !4V. 516"x92'- (69 E33 38"x 63' - (f69 pails Grab Hooks & links in stock tool 181 S. 1 200 E. lehi Metalmart 768-3332 of the original statue on the Mount Timpanogos temple, the structure inside the figure fig-ure that would normally protect the statue was inadequate, inad-equate, and thus caused the figure to sustain damage severe enough to require a replacement. Unlike the day in 1996 when thousands of faithful Latter-day-Saints came to see the original statue hoisted high and set in place, only a few people were present Monday to witness the changing of the guard as the damaged golden statue was switched with a new replacement. The changing of the statue stat-ue was done on a day when the Mount Timpanogos Temple is generally closed, which allowed the large crane to be brought in and set in place to facilitate the switching of the Moroni figure. fig-ure. The scaffolding that is set around the temple steeple was erected to allow additional work and repairs to be completed on the outside out-side of the temple structure. The reparations being made and the replacement of the statue were coordinated coordi-nated to be done at the same time by temple personnel.
