String Town residents elected a new chair at the April 16 neighborhood meeting. meet-ing. Glen Haynie will replace Barbara Wells. Wells, a regular at city council and planning commission com-mission meetings, has been outspoken on city issues in the past. Earlier this year Wells said she was asked by some elected city officials to step down. Dan Preece was re-elected as neighborhood vice-chair. Ryan Armitstead will replace Scott Anderson as secretary. The city council will need to ratify those elected before they can begin acting in that capacity. Also discussed at the String Town meeting were expansion plans for Hone Woodworks and the possibility possibil-ity of a car lot at 205 East State Street. There was no strong opposition oppo-sition to either project. "No one was really against either of them, those there mostly just asked questions," said Neighborhood Advisory Board Chair Libby Flegal. Families mourn crash victims By Amie Rose Utah Valley staff Three men died Thursday evening doing what they loved - flying. On Friday, police identified the victims of Thursday's plane crash near the Provo Municipal Airport as Jared Jorgensen, 32, Orem; Michael Burk, 47, Pleasant Grove; and Todd Heiner, 42, Provo. The three men died on impact. "I think they would have wanted us to keep flying because they loved flying," said Roy Rawlins, a part-time instructor at Advantage Aviation. "They died doing something they loved doing." Investigators have initially determined the crash was caused by engine failure, said Sgt. Wally Perschon, an investigator with the Utah County Sheriffs Office. The Cessna 310 nose-dived into a field about 5:30 p.m. Thursday near Boat Harbor Drive in Provo, within a mile of the runway where the pilot was trying to land, officials and witnesses said. The Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety Board and the Utah County Sheriffs Office are investigating inves-tigating the crash. Provo Mayor Lewis K Billings has also asked the Provo City Airport Air-port Safety Committee to review the accident. acci-dent. Jorgensen rented the Cessna about 4:30 p.m. from Advantage Aviation, based at the Provo airport". Burk was serving as the flight instructor, and Heiner was in the back observing the flight. According to the Federal Aviation Administration's pilot registry, Burk was certified to fly and teach others to fly multi-engine multi-engine aircraft. Although Heiner had a commercial pilot's license to fly multi-engine multi-engine airplanes, he was not certified as an instructor for such aircraft, records show. Jorgensen was a licensed pilot and a certified cer-tified flight instructor but only for single-engine single-engine aircraft, according to FAA records.-He records.-He was an aviation student at Utah Valley State College. Burk and Heiner had worked as flight instructors at Advantage about two years, said Rod Jones, co-owner of Advantage. Chris Burk said his dad had been a pilot for about four years. "He loved to fly," Chris said.

They share birthdays only two days apart, both loved to run, and both set very high standards for themselves. Mark and his Romanian companion died in an auto accident while serving an LDS mission in Bristol, England in 2001. Since his death, Mark has been Amber's inspiration, not only on the track, but also in many other areas of her life. "Running is not an easy sport. Sometimes I've felt like quitting, but with the way Mark lived his life, it helps me to keep going," said Amber. Running is in the heart and soul of the Gleason family. "It runs in the genes," Amber added with a smile. The eighth of 10 children, chil-dren, Gleason is following many of her siblings onto the track. She started running run-ning competitively in the seventh grade, but knew she liked to run long before then. "When I was in elementary elemen-tary school, I liked to outrun out-run the boys," she said. Amber currently runs cross country for Pleasant Grove High School. She also runs the 1600 meters and is the lead off runner for the 400 meter relay on the girls track team. This year, Gleason Glea-son took eighth place overall over-all in the state Cross Country Coun-try Championships, and was named All Region. With six meets behind her so far this year, Gleason continues to improve each week. "Almost every meet, I get a personal record," stated stat-ed Amber. Her best time in the 1600 meters so far is 5:21, just one second off the qualifying time for the state meet. She also runs a fast 400 meters, with a time of 61 seconds. Gleason's coach, John Kernan, admires her work ethic, both on and off the track. "Amber exemplifies what a high school athlete should be. She's real aggressive aggres-sive about setting high standards and goals," said Kernan. Not only does she excel on the track, but also in her studies. Amber is a 4.0 student and takes concurrent con-current college courses through UVSC. She also enjoys singing with the Chamber Choir.
