Denos said the invoice reflected a high estimate of costs, which can't be deter-mined yet because the work isn't far enough along for that. The high estimate is meant to "avoid, if possible, unpleasant surprises in the later invoices." The letter, with its accom-panying reimbursement agree-ment, calls for the invoice to be paid over three successive fiscal years with $54,250 due June 1,2011. Council Member Ken Kirk said he thought $80,000 was reasonable, but $217,000 is not what the city agreed to. Mayor Eric Richardson recommended paying nothing until PRWUA meets with the city and justifies both the in- -, creased costs and why Cedar Hills wasn't included in the decision. Perry so moved, and the whole council voted aye. cil on June 22 that the ini-tial estimate last Fall was $60,000. In Winter the es-timate rose to $80,000, and on May 10, the city got a no-tice for $217,000, with the city's portion estimated at $162,750. Council Member Jim Perry asked Bunker about the sleeve. It's a pipe wider than the sewer line. If repairs are needed workers won't have to dig under the canal. Instead, they can slide the line out of the sleeve. by Harlow Clark The Provo River Water Users Association's (PRWUA) decision to pipe the Murdock Canal will give Cedar Hills and other communities a nice trail, but may add a lot to Cedar Hills' utility relocation costs. Piping the canal required lowering the sewer line where it runs under the canal, which involved put-ting in a steel sleeve for the sewer line to run through.

The contest went down as a preview of the tight games ex-pected to occur between the two schools in the 5-- A league that they would be playing in this coming Spring. In the first inning's top half, for instance, Lehi's Nolan Padilla hit a one-o- ut single off pitcher Jake Barnhart, only to become ensnared in a double play turned up by shortstop Colt Sheriff. Lehi shortstop Kade Evans turned up a double play - of his own right after Viking Bryce Jones had singled off Cam Lux in the bottom of the first. Lux's pitching left Vi-king Coach Darren respectful of him. The coach said, "He kept us guessing what kinds of pitches he would throw. He struck out two straight batters of ours in the second inning. Jake Barnhart did a good job at the mound, too. He always threw strikes on the first pitch. A lot of his pitches were fast balls and knuckle balls." Because of the pitching duel between Lux and Barn-hart, no scoring could occur in the first two and one-ha- lf innings, even though Lehi's Taylor Nelson whacked a triple in the top of the sec-ond. In the bottom of the third, Payton Simpson singled into center, and an Easton Walker single brought him home. Lehi tied the game at one when Cody Webb sin-gled in Andy Paul in the top of the fourth. The game stayed tied until the bottom of the fifth. Its lower half opened with McKay Lewis singling into left. With a Walker double moving Lewis to third, Simp-son doubled in two runs. The next inning, a Lehi error let Barnhart and Sher-iff race home. Webb tried to revive Lehi's cause by hit-ting a left-fiel- d single at the start of the seventh. Webb became ensnared in a dou-ble play turned up by Sher-iff. Even though Nielson and Ryan Absher each sin-gled right afterwards, Clint Christofferson grounded out to second baseman Bryce Jones, ending the game. 2011 CONCERTS IN THE PARK The 201 1 season for Concerts in the Park began on June 5.

Jade Smoot's pitching kept the Jaguars from putting any runners on base during the top of the first. Three straight one-o- ut doubles made it possible for the Vikings to get on the scoreboard in the bottom of the first. Luke Kaesmeyer hit the first double into left, and Payton Simpson doubled him in. Bren-do- n doubled in Simpson, only to become stuck at second. The next inning saw Smoot accidentally bean Eli jah Mitchell. The accident could have played to West Jordan's advantage, had it not been for shortstop Mitch-ell getting tagged by sec-ond baseman Logan Bullock while trying to steal second. The second's top half ended with Bullock grounding out Turner Knight, the son of now former West Jordan baseball coach Brock Knight, who had pitched for the American Fork Cavemen in 1980's. Singling at the bottom of the second, Cade Engamann came home on a Stan Chris-tiansen, one-o- ut double. West Jordan answered it with a double play. On two outs in the top of third, Smoot walked Brock Subic. Cody Brennen singled Subic in but got thrown out while turning to turn his hit into a double. The score stayed at 3-- 1 until the bottom of the fourth. That inning, Pleasant Grove loaded the bases on no outs and Engamann batted in two runs. A Spencer Romney sacrifice fly scored the third fourth-innin- g run. Even though Landon Morris singled off Smoot in the fifth, and Ben Boul-ter whacked a single in the top of the sixth, the Jaguars couldn't get a rally going. : That fact proved fatal to West Jordan. : In the bottom of the : fifth, Simpson doubled in j Braden Cox and Kaesmey- - ; er to improve the Pleasant j Grove lead at 9-- 1. ; With Bullock doubling into left in the bottom of the sixth, the Vikings went on a three-ru- n run rally that : settled the game's outcome.
