The businesses include Six Star Factory f hit let. All -Star Video, Christensen's and Pant Depot. A backhoe window was also shot out. Lewdness: On Sunday evening a young girl reported to her mother that she had just seen an adult male wearing nothing but a baseball cap and sunglasses. The man was reportedly seen in ar the girl's home. An extensive search was performed of the area. In a wooded area nearby officers located a male and a female who were "making out" in the bushes. The male may have been the one observed by the girl but this is uncertain at this time. The incident is still under investigation. Found property: A dish antenna was found in the front yard of a residence over the weekend. Theftmarijuana arrests: On Saturday evening four juvenile juve-nile and adult arrests were made after a clerk at a convenience store reported a shoplifting incident. The suspects had left on foot after committing the theft but a patrol officer located a male matching the description of one of the suspects in the front yard of a nearby apartment. After talking with the subject sub-ject and locating the responsible party for the residence, all of the theft suspects were located in the home, as well as evidence of mari juana use. Tire Theft: Four new tires were stolen from a shed on Sunday. The tires are described as Michelin Mud and Snow tires valued at $b0() dollars. Auto windows: windows were reported broken in four vehicles vehi-cles in the north and east part of town. Police believe they occurred around the same time as the Main Street shootings. Marijuana bust: A traffic officers stopped a vehicle for speeding Monday afternoon and ended up seizing nearly a pound of marijuana. Tin.' marijuana was concealed in the subject's sub-ject's truck. The driver of the vehicle, an adult male, was booked into the Utah County Jail on charges of Possession with Intent to Distribute as well as Driving Under the Influence of Drugs. He was apparently enjoying some of his stash when he should have been paying attention to the speed limit. The stop occurred near 700 Fast and 50 South, which is near a bowling alley and a park. This will enhance the possession to a 2nd degree felony. Bicycle theft: Just a reminder that bicycles thefts are on the rise. People need to take the time to lock their bikes and bring them inside at night.

They were seeking on-grade access to a sally port, to bring prisoners into the building in a secured manner. The group looked at the east and north sides of the building to provide that access. Future issues would include whether to renovate the fire and ambulance station, currently cur-rently on the northwest corner of the block, or to raze the structure and build a new one, perhaps at a different location, possibly at 300 East and Center, where the city owns Garrett "I will give that mantel to whoever takes my place," he said. "We have a lot of good plans." Like most public facilities, the cemetery is experience concerns con-cerns with growth. Garrett's plans for the future have included meeting those needs. "We are still in need of land," he said. "The property recently purchased on the west side will probably only be a two to three year fix." He gives much credit to the team, including the cemetery crew and cemetery committee, and to the citizens of the community. com-munity. "The crew does everything that is asked of them," he said. "The committee is very active. I thank them from the bottom of my heart. They have seen the same vision I have seen. We have all worked together." He also gives credit to organizations orga-nizations which have helped raise funds for the memorials. Over $100,000 has been contributed con-tributed toward the monuments monu-ments and markers. Each member of the team has a specific responsibility, but they work side by side as necessary. nec-essary. "Just because I am the supervisor does not mean that I don't work with the crews," said Garrett. "We all work together." When he began his work 18 years ago, there was just a one-room one-room shop, known as "the cave." "We didn't have enough room to park any equipment," he recalled. "We had one mower that worked and two trimmers that didn't work. There was no heat in the building. After a rainstorm,' we often had to sweep four to five inches of water out of the building. "We invited the mayor and council members to see the building, showing them the place where we meet with people peo-ple to mourn their dead. That is how we got this building started." start-ed."

"I just see it lasting two or three years. I see the Harrington as a legacy. I see something I want there in 50 years." Judy Price agreed. "There is a big difference between something just old and something historic," she said. Continued from front page ment used. "People don't realize the amount of work that it takes to maintain a cemetery," he said. "We work on a tight schedule. It takes eight people close to 90 minutes to two hours to trim a section. We do each one every other week to hold a high standard stan-dard of maintenance." With the addition under development, the cemetery contains con-tains approximately 22 acres of ground. "All the lots in the old section are completely sold," he said. "The new section will be completed com-pleted by July." Winding through that area is a lane which will become a pioneer trail, commemorating the sesquicentennial of the settlement set-tlement of American Fork. It should be completed in 2003. The monuments and memorials memo-rials are special, and add to the spirit of the cemetery, he said, but the real impact comes from the purpose of the land. "I have been honored to bury some of my close friends and associates," he said. "I will always treasure the fact that I have had the opportunity of placing them in their final resting rest-ing place. That creates so much respect for this land." The work has been significant signifi-cant in his life, said Garrett. "I have been blessed," he said. "I wish everybody could have this opportunity. It has changed my life and my perspective. per-spective. That is why it is so difficult dif-ficult to leave." "I have one regret," he added. "It is that I have not had a recorder with me all the time. There have been some priceless stories told to me that we could have recorded for history."
