Last Saturday, the float was seen in the Springville and Orem parades. They received awards in both parades. Chairman Frank Mills said he received calls commenting on the beautiful float and the unique idea honoring Everyday Heroes with their pictures on giant seed packets. The giant 40-foot float was created by Hal and Terry Marchbanks and Teresa and Jody McClellan. It is featured in shades of green with pink accents along with a gazebo and a bridge with water running under it with the theme, "Pleasant "Pleas-ant Grove Grows with Everyday Heroes." The queens have been busy this week attending all the events and the rodeo each night. There was standing room only at the free swim, and a crowd at the concert where everyone enjoyed the free strawberries and cream. The queens led the Children's Parade and attended the breakfast this morning. They will be seen at the Huck Finn Day in the morning at Anderson Park. It is going to be a fun place for the kids. There will be a climbing wall, pony rides, a donut walk, face painting and bubble gum blowing contests, as well as prizes for the first fish caught and the largest.

Manila Park improvements are reviewed by Julie Bellon Officials from Utah Community Com-munity Forest Partnership and Senator Bob Bennett's office recently inspected the volunteer work done at Manila Park. Ruth Steed, the project director from UCFP, said she was extremely happy with the volunteer efforts. "We have 42 projects in eight counties and I'm so impressed with Pleasant Grove and the level of volunteer volun-teer involvement," she said. Mary Nielsen, a member of the Beautification and Shade Tree Commission was pleased with the officials' reaction. "They were very favorable. Of all the plantings plant-ings done, they said this was their showcase park." Officials were shown around the park and various tree plantings and volunteer efforts were described. "Since 1999, we've had approximately 227 volunteers, volun-teers, which resulted in 811 donated labor hours," Nielsen said. In that time there have been 175 trees planted in Manila Park with money secured from several sources. Citizens and businesses busi-nesses have donated $5,748, various grants provided $8,000, and the Beautification Beautifica-tion and Parks budget has contributed $6,815. "We're really proud of everything we've been able to accomplish," accom-plish," Nielsen said. Brook Lee, a community forester, told the Beautification Beautifica-tion Commission that "the trees look good and healthy."

However, Darrell Cook, planning commissioner, had a concern that 800 North go through to 100 East. "We need that to connect," he said. Since the property owners in question do not own the land necessary to facilitate a through road, the issue was dropped. Cindy Boyd asked the developer, Mark Greenwood, Green-wood, if a neighborhood meeting meet-ing had been held. "Yes," he replied. "No issues were brought up." After a thorough discussion, Cindy Boyd made the motion to approve, and the vote was unanimous.
