Economic development director Paul Blanchard said there are some pending deals for commercial development devel-opment in the Gateway area, but that no announcements announce-ments will likely be made for a couple of more months.

Unfortunately, the dreaded "bad breath" syndrome can put a stop to our self-confidence very quickly. The fact is, we are all at risk. Everyone is susceptible to halitosis or bad breath and some forms of it can give off a very offensive odor. Tliere are many different causes of bad breath: Poor dental hygiene, bacterias in the mouth, gum infectiondisease, tooth decay, heavy metal accumulation, not eating, poor diet, sulfur, smoking, drugs, diabetes and stress. A small percentage Can be related to intestinal disorders, inflamed tonsils and sinus problems, which tells us that most bad breath originates in the mouth. A crucial place to start in the elimination of bad breath is simply daily brushing and flossing. Unfortunately, most people do not spend enough time brushing to remove the bacteria that create cre-ate volatile sulfur compounds (VSC's), which give breath its foul odor. Thoroughly cleaning the teeth surfaces should take at least three (3 full minutes of brushing. However, brushing alone only cleans 70 of each tooth. Therefore flossing is absolutely necessary to completely remove the bacteria and food from ill between the teeth and under the gums. Tho third stop is to eliminate elimi-nate the odor-causing bacteria that hide deep in the crevices of the tongue, especially towards the back. Brushing the tongue and using a tongue craper will remove the plaque layer and bacteria bac-teria off the tongue. Other helpful tips include: Replacing your tooth brush every 2-3 months and avoiding mouth rinses containing alcohol, dyes and flavorings. Alcohol dries the mouth, which creates an environment envi-ronment for odor-producing bacteria to form making the problem worse. These rinses only temporarily tem-porarily mask bad breath. A dry mouth is ideal for bad breath. Drinking plenty of water throughout through-out the day helps to flush the mouth and stimulates saliva flow, which helps dissolve the VSC compounds. Chew sugar-free gum. This also stimulates saliva and the chewing action cleanses the teeth. Avoid foods high in sulfur compounds that temporarily cause bad breath such as spicy fowls, onions and cabbage. Chewing parsley after eating can help because It is rich in chlorophyll, chloro-phyll, which is a natural mouthwash. Last but not least, make sure you are receiving your regular professional cleaning and oxam at least every 6 months to check for gum infectiondisease, noor restorations, decay, and to remove the tartar build-up, to which bacteria and plaque adliere. Don't hesitate to ask your hygienist for individualized tips, products and instructions. There are professional mouth rinses and products available from which you might benefit. Say good-bye to halitosis and keep your confidence alive by killing off the bad breath invaders! anv of these projects is through the efforts and support sup-port of everyone in the community. com-munity. We hope through grants, donations and bonds the city will be able to complete those facilities that the citizens of Pleasant Grove want and deserve. One area that the city wants to see progress is in construction of Phase II of the Pressurized Irrigation System. We hope to complete com-plete this over' the next three years as the city has been fortunate in being able to secure a $5 million grant from the Central Utah Project Pro-ject and is now making application with the Division Divi-sion of Water Resources to finance the remaining funds for the rest of the project. By completing tms project and having each residence res-idence using the pressurized pressur-ized system, the city will be able to preserve the precious pre-cious water resources that will help make Pleasant Grove a strong and vibrant community in the future. Also among the plans for the city during the next 12 months, is the hope to make progress towards the completion com-pletion of the 2000 West roadway, connection to Pleasant Grove Blvd. This will require a lot of hard work and cooperation from everyone who is involved with this particular corridor. corri-dor. We are beginning to see a Int. of interest in the retail and industrial development opportunities in the Gateway Gate-way Area. With the anticipated antici-pated development, Pleasant Pleas-ant Grove's economic-growth economic-growth should reflect a very positive tax base for our growing community. Pleasant Grove is constructing con-structing several new parks and open space areas. We would hope that in the future, with this new growth, we will be able to continue to provide the open space that is needed for a healthy environment for our citizens.
