He is still remembered today as a courageous young man with a positive attitude p Meets OK, But Never On In a public hearing last Tuesday swap meets were given the green light as long as the meet is held at a drive-in theater or is in a C-3, M-l or M-2 zone. Warren Bunting, owner of the Timp Drive-In Theater, began holding swap meets at the cite earlier this spring but after two successful meets was closed down by the City because it was not approved in the PC-2 zone where the theater is operating on a Conditional Use Permit. The Council amended the code to allow the meets at the theater as a conditional use but that the permit will cease if the drive-in theater ceases to be used for the showing of motion pictures. In the motion, Councilman Richard Jackson specified that it be understood that the primary function will be for movies at the site and not swap meets.

Not olny was he a competitive com-petitive tennis player, but a scholar as well. Each year his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Briggs, both former Orem High teachers, furnish what is known as the Briggs Memorial Award. It is given to the tennis player who most exemplifies the qualities Tommy Briggs had. Inspite of the fact that he won two matches and lost 14, the athletic department felt Blaine Moss was most deserving of this prestigious award. Orem High introduced a new award this year, one that is to become a traditional honor. The Golden Tiger Athletic Award is given to those who most support the program. Principal Berdean Jarman and his assistants, k Bill Delaney and Ray Cordner received receiv-ed huge Tiger blankets for their consistent con-sistent support and attendance at all the activities throughout the year. In addition to the special awards, each sport was commemorated by the individual coaches, along with those athletes who were most outstanding outstan-ding in their respective teams.

Sunday posed to holding the meets on Sunday and asked that there be no broadcasting broad-casting systems used to keep the noise level low, that there be no storage of items on the premises from one day to the next, and that the meets be held no more than two days a week and never on Sunday. Bunting said he would like the people to decide whether or not they wanted to trade on Sunday but said it wasn't as busy on Sunday anyway. Three council members voted a-gainst a-gainst the motion and four supported it. Stella Welsh says, "Every time we go out of our way to accomodate one person, we get in trouble." Joyce Johnson also voted against the motion as did Harley Gillman. Gillman said he was all in favor of the meet but felt the council was "taking the economic life out" of the business by restricting the days and eliminating Sunday. Affirmative Af-firmative votes were from Keith Hunt, Paul Washburn, Richard Jackson and Mayor S. Blaine Willes. mer Encores, was first presented during dur-ing SCERA's 50th anniversary year in 1983.

Sipnre Named CEOO Director DeLance W. Squire, past mayor of Orem City and a well-known CPA and developer, was selected last week to be executive director of CEDO, Commission for Economic Development in Orem, according to Richard Verhaaren, chairman of the CEDO board of directors. The post was vacated two months ago with the resignation of Jim Renzas who returned to his former position in Chicago. Verhaaren said the board selected Squire from some 40 applicants. "We narrowed the list to three or four," he said, "and after talking to Mr. Squire for about three hours, we think he's our man." Verhaaren made the announcement to the Orem City Council in their work session last Tuesday after Squire had accepted the position. "We're getting a $100,000 man for a lot, lot less," said Verhaaren. Squire met with the board last Friday afternoon to discuss the goals of CEDO. The former may or says he wants to continue some of the things that were begun during his time in office. "I especially want to work with expanding businesses in Orem as well as look to other areas of the country to help improve the economic climate here." Squire is familiar with much of the work Renzas did during his two years with CEDO and feels he can pick up the reins. "Jim already has laid a lot of ground work; the structure is in place," said Squire. There will be one change in operation; the new director will not City Clean Termed: Successful The final tally for CLEAN AND GREEN '86 Spring Clean Up is expected to top 2,446 tons of trash removed during the two week campaign according to Matt Perry, Management Intern for The City of Orem. i "It reflects the civic pride citizens have in their community," he added. In acknowledgement and praise of citizen cooperation and prompt participation, Perry reported that fewer callbacks were necessary this year: "This combination," he continued, "has resulted in a substantial savings of tax dollars and man hours. The citizens are to be commended." unusual show which lasted four days. Having four dogs shows running suc-cesssively suc-cesssively at one site is what made this show unusual, Nielsen said. "That's why it's one of the largest shows that you'll see." Each of the four days was a new dog show, one sponsored by the Utah Valley Kennel Club, the Mount Ogden Kennel Club, the Intermountain Kennel Ken-nel Club and the Bonneville Kennel Club. a - DeLANCEW. SQUIRE be working full time with CEDO but will take the position on a part-time basis and will continue to administrate his CPA firm, Squire and Co. One thing the CEDO board required was that the director have a good understanding of the area and the direction Orem is going. "We feel DeLance more than qualifies," said Verhaaren. Squire began his company in Orem in the early 50's and has been closely involved with the business community and civic organizations. He understands finances, development, develop-ment, and investments as well as the working of City government. His reputation says he has the kind of integrity and know-how to put it all together. During the two week campaign last April, city crews picked up in excess of 2,156.5 tons of curbside debris. An additional 1,242 loads were hauled in private vehicles to the county landfill at an estimated weight of 19.7 tons. Appreciation was, also, extended to the Orem Beautification Commission for their chairmanship of this year's campaign: Larry L. Johnson, Chairman, George Jenkins, Doris Tregaskis, Dean DeGroff, Verl Madsen, Will Talbot, Dr. Robert Stahmann, Kathryn Hadley, Keith Hunt, representative of the City Council, Assistant City Manager Stewart Taylor, and Margie McCown, publicity specialist. The competitions were divided into in-to seven dog groups. They are sporting, spor-ting, hound, working, terrier, non-sporting, non-sporting, toy, and herding. The dogs were judged on obedience and conformation. In preperation for the show, dogs were scrubbed, trimmed, perfumed and manicured.
