Nothing Noth-ing further was found. Car-'nt Car-'nt don felt that the threat may wHiave been a prank or "a edicjopy cat thing," referring to ioni,.ecent threats made at the Junior high and other or schools throughout the P&tate. . It is not likely that this hreat is related to a threat """""Vritten in the bathroom d af PGJHS last month at the junior high. Whatever the motivation, motiva-tion, police and school officials offi-cials took the threat seriously. seri-ously. "We take any threat seriously seri-ously and will act accordingly," accord-ingly," said principal Blaine Edman. On Friday, students were instructed to keep their backpacks in their lockers. A practice lockdown drill was conducted during first period. A dog was brought in to sniff the lockers for explosives, but nothing was found, said Edman. . This week, students' backpacks have been allowed and it is essentially "business as usual." Students Stu-dents and teachers have been counseled to be alert and aware of potential problems. prob-lems. Edman admits that it can be particularly difficult for adolescents to talk about their fears. "They need to tell an adult a teacher, a parent, a counselor when they see something that could be a threat or a danger," said Edman. "We are in partnership with parents and students to make school safe,'' said Edman. "It takes working together." Edman encourages parents par-ents to communicate with their students, and he and the assistant principals are available to talk with parents par-ents and students about their concerns. He feels that the increased action taken on threats is no indication of decreased school safety. Threats that, even a few years ago, could have been "brushed under the rug" now need to be taken seriously. seri-ously. "We now live in a type of world where we have to take threats seriously," said Edman. "We need to be extra cautious. We need to err on the side of safety." Sports center may define 700 North -pi- MO); By Harlow Clark dmin; Lindon and Pleasant Grove have a gen-'ral gen-'ral idea of where 700 North will go as it annakes its way across Geneva Rd and out eneoward the freeway, influencing develop-y develop-y "nent in both cities. If a proposed automated sports center a ,','oes in it could help define the road. diS n: w ev Bill Bowser, Bert Thomas, and David Bell, iWCaryho plan to build the facility, said people Faug"ll e-mail or phone in reservations and get in access code. When they approach the luilding they'll enter the access code, and ic liights and music and environmental con-finan::rols con-finan::rols like air conditioning will come on. The kef tenter will include billiards and racquetball. 20 N. Bowser wants to curve the road around Doo: jel "A are: perse he building for visual interest, with anoth- r curved road approaching it from 2000 Vest. This solves one of the problems with putting in 700 North, that a curve in the .oad will split some properties and may save too little room on the north side for he parcel to be used, bratior Bowser's version of the curve does leave is piar nough room. Dean Blackhurst, the proper-8 proper-8 p.my owner, called the plan generous for that er treason and said he would not give land for riha': a curved road without condemnation unless it was approved. Thomas said he wants the building and landscaping to have a farm feel, and it would look something like Hi Ute Ranch in Park City. He feels it would make an attractive attrac-tive gateway to Lindon. One problem to solve will be getting water and sewer out to the site. Planning director Kevin Smith said he would talk with Pleasant Grove's planner, Stan Klemetson, and see how they feel about the road design. Smith said Bowser should know within a couple of weeks what Pleasant Grove administration thinks of the idea. Bowser has done 100 automated buildings build-ings in southern California for the LDS Church. "So if it's not scheduled the hoops don't come down, the lights don't come on," said Commission chair Dustin Sweeten. Bowser said they could even lock vandals van-dals inside the building until police arrived. The automated features would allow a small crew to monitor several buildings from a central location in Salt Lake. chil am hecte' 5rs Date From Front Page 0f fK 'T A yU' . 1 don t expect to see you yiaack here,' was all he said .s he rushed me out.
