Recently, the Lions Club had an opportunity to help a man in Utah Xounty. Darlene Seely, a regional chairman chair-man of the Lions Club and a member mem-ber of the Pleasant Grove Lions received a call near the end of last year from a concerned mother calling about her son's eye problem. prob-lem. Seely was given an opportunity, opportu-nity, one she calls an "eye opener," to see how the Lions Club can help people. Michael Kaufman, of Orem, had an accident when he was three years old that seriously injured his left eye. For more than 30 years Michael was in pain from the injuries. Being an active person he tried not to let it slow him down, although living a normal life was difficult with the relentless pain. Last fall, Marlene Stapleton, Kaufman's mother, could see that his eye was getting worse and knew they had to do something, but didn't know what to do. Having Hav-ing been actively involved in community com-munity service for many years, Stapleton was very familiar with the Lions Club and hoped they might be able to help her son. Stapleton was referred to Seely. "As an individual I was able to direct her to the right people," Seely said. Seely put Stapleton and Kaufman Kauf-man in touch with eye specialists who were able to help him. His injured left eye was removed and a prosthetic one took its place. The new eye was made to match his right eye. "It's changed my life quite a bit," said Kaufman. "It looks good. I didn't care what it looked like so long as it quit hurting. It's weird being able to go into a public place and most the time (others) don't (notice) it. It's still freaking me out." Kaufman, currently a student at UVSC, is now able to attend classes and take care of his responsibilities without the pain holding him back. "Just trying to concentrate now is easier," he said. Seely not only connected Kaufman Kauf-man with the right doctors, she also talked to the Pleasant Grove Lions Club about his situation. The Lions decided to sponsor this project and made the first large donation. Seely said it then became a statewide goal for all Lions Clubs in Utah to contribute financially. Additionally, the doctors doc-tors involved significantly reduced their fees. Stapleton is emotional when she talks about the Lions Club's help. "I'm so appreciative of them," she said. Kaufman said, "I'm so grateful for them helping me. I had no options. I don't know what I would have done." Seely describes being able to help someone in her own commu- V f' -Kjv 1 I.

"The temporary zoning ordinance can be enacted for up to six months and renewed for an additional six months, but can be repealed at any time by the council as they see fit," Peterson said.
