Provo renting tightens up Council redefines rental ordinances • DAVID HATCHErr News Writer On March 24, the Provo Municipal Council met to discuss a number of issues including zoning laws in Provo, specifically Rl zones with an A and S overlay. According to the minutes, the Council wants to redefine the terms owner-occupant, primary residence and trust. An Rl zone is an area set aside for a one-family occupancy according to the Provo City Code. The A and S Overlay are two special additions to the Rl zone allowing for part of the house to be rented out. The A Overlay is for an accessory apartment. This overlay allows for an owner-occupant to rent out a basement or second level apartment to two related or unrelated individuals while they live there. The S overlay is for student housing, which like the A overlay, allows an owner-occupant to rent out a basement or a second level apartment to four students while occupying the residence. The redefining of owner occupancy makes it so that if there is an accusation that the owner does not live in the residence, the owner must prove that he or she does GelhiAlmei Ediuation Free TititniumSkn'f Hand with Men's Purchase ($300 Miubuum) _ri 40% Ojj Men's Band with Center Diamond £" Ring Purchase §ierra~West L 23 Other Free Services Valued Up to S2000 J E W E L E R S 1344 South 800 Eon.

"Nationally, UVU is very well known as a supporter of undergraduate research," said Loretta Palmer, UVU associate vice president for research and outreach. "Undergraduate research is a way for our students to become more engaged in their learning and to the community." At NCUR last year, hosted by Salisbury University in Maryland, 65 UVU students made 58 presentations, which was second in number only to Salisbury University. The NCUR was established in 1987 and is dedicated to promoting undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activity in all fields of study by sponsoring an annual conference for students. Through its annual conference, the NCUR creates a unique environment for the celebration and promotion of undergraduate student achievement, provides models of exemplary research and scholarship and helps to improve the state of undergraduate education. UVU students who have conducted research in specific areas of interest with the help of their faculty mentor will make oral, poster, visual arts or performing arts presentations of their findings. A list of the UVU students who will be attending, along with the titles of their projects can be found at www.uwlax. edu/ncur2009/ During the 2008-2009 school year the Office of Scholarship and Outreach, which works with all the schools and colleges on campus to assist students with research, helped 170 students to present at different conferences around the nation. This summer students will be participating in the Scholarly and Creative Opportunities Program. Some applicants have research projects in Nepal, London, Israel, Africa and Mexico. Others will be working on original projects in Utah and surrounding states. UVU STUDENT NAMED CHEF OF THE YEAR • Victoria Maxfield was named Utah Valley University's first-ever Student Chef of the Year for the Western Region at the American Culinary Federation Student Chef of the Year Championship in Seattle this month. "Vicki is a natural competitor. Just like all of us, she gets nervous, but you'd never know it," said Peter Sproul, UVU assistant professor of culinary arts, who is one of Maxfield's advisors. Maxfield, who was part of the UVU team that finished second in the 2008 ACF Western Regional, will now participate in the 2009 ACF National Conference in Orlando this July. Maxfield had 60 minutes to prepare four portions of a signature dish consisting of herb-crusted pork tenderloin in sherry vinegar jus with sweet apple parsnip puree, crispy pancetta-scented potatoes and tourne early spring squash, carrot batonee bundle and glazed chipollini onion to showcase her cooking abilities and skill. In a pressure-packed arena and competing against the region's best, including the current global student champion, Sproul said Maxfield performed flawlessly, impressing the panel of three judges that included a certified master chef. The ACF Student Chef of the Year, sponsored by Custom Culinary. Inc., recognizes a student who possesses a high degree of professionalism, culinary skills and passion for the culinary arts by providing documents showing income and depreciation of the property, that they are borrowers on the mortgage or that they are the owner listed on the lease with the tenants, and that they pay the property taxes. Trust was redefined to require that all creators of the trust must live in the house.
