Show American Fork Citizen New Hill resident Jonathan Cox. "Whoever would say bo has either never driven it or is naive." Ron Mortimer, the traffic engineer who performed the traffic study admitted that the study didn't address sidewalk issues or the way cars may interact with kids walking to and from Barratt Elementary. The subdivision will generate gen-erate additional traffic, there's no doubt about that. The roadways road-ways are physically able to carry the load; livability is another question," he said. In Mortimer's opinion, however, the narrow streets are actually a safety plus for residents. "Narrow streets do much in the way of controlling Ashlee 0 tional facility.

Her teammates helped her or carried her in those activities that were difficult for her to participate in. The activities are designed to build trust and increase team work among the participants. The idea behind the activities is to help everyone reach their goal and to work together to build unity. "Ashlee was an inspiration inspira-tion to everyone who was there," stated Davis.

Commissioner Michael Georgeson said the commission commis-sion previously decided not to require that the road be put through based on the traffic study. They did require however, that the developer design the subdivision subdivi-sion in such a way the road could be extended to the land owner's liking in the future. A through . road would extend past the boundaries of the subdivision. The owner of the undeveloped property it would extend through, Dale Gunther, previously expressed to city officials a desire that a road not go through because it may limit man the 16 phone lines that come into the school and to be more responsible and organized. Jacobsen said, "She i3 very responsible and conscientious. consci-entious. She is willing to do whatever is asked of her. She is one of the kindest people you could meet. She is a good student and doesn't does-n't let her limitations get in the way of what needs to be done." Olsen has also been a member of the yearbook staff for the first time. She said she wanted to be involved in creating memories memo-ries of her senior year. Another first for Olsen is holding a part-time job. She has also worked at Fazoli's since its opening in October. This was something she had never attempted before because it is difficult for her to be on her feet for more than four or five hours.

Gunther also owns land in the proposed Hill Valley subdivision. "It's hard from an engineering engi-neering perspective to say that we need the road to go through now," said city planner Rod Despain. "It's a political decision and the right place for that to be made goes with those who are elected. Let the city council require the road if they want to." Commissioner Steve Nielsen said, "I'm in favor of extending the road however the developer chooses. The last time they were before us we left it up to them which option they preferred. Now it's clear which one they want. Now that they know ny schedule, but the managers man-agers there have been great This was something else that I wanted to show myself I could do," she said. Olsen was recognized several weeks ago by the entire student body as one of the school's heroes. When the student body realized that she was being recognized, recog-nized, all the students came to their feet in a standing ovation. When asked what prompted her to attempt all of these "firsts" this year, she said, "I have always been a homebody. I wasn't involved in anything in or out of school and I decided I didn't want to look back and wonder or think about what I could have done. This year I have become a lot more outgoing. I am able to express my ideas without being worried what other people will think."

The developers' plan of choice would be to extend 600 East curving it north to align with Queens Drive. There would be no timetable put on the through road. Council member Tom Hunter said he would not support the current subdivision subdivi-sion plan because if the road does not go through now there is a possibility 600 North could eventually end up in a cul-de-sac. "I'm still holding firm that the road should go out to 900 East now," he said. The commission voted to table approval on the preliminary pre-liminary plan and look further fur-ther into the traffic situation. situa-tion.

Everyone knows my limitations and works around them." She added, "People are generally very accepting" and admits that it easier for her to take if people will ask her questions ques-tions about her disability, rather than stare. Olsen plans to attend college col-lege in the fall at UVSC majoring in English. She was recently awarded a Tomorrow's Pioneers $1,000 scholarship from the BYU chapter of Sons of Utah Pioneers. The chapter felt that Olsen was someone who exemplified what it takes to be a pioneer in this day and age. She enjoys reading, writing writ-ing and playing board games.

Clock Riverton. "It was there for months," said Belmont. "We went up about every 10 days to check on the progress." Much of the interior workings of the clock were in shambles, according to Belmont, and Wheeler sought help advice from the Salt Lake City and County Building's restorers. They put him in contact with Lloyd Larish who had purchased pur-chased the McClintock Clock Company in Faribault, Minn. With the extra work and the problems uncovered during the restoration, the bills were mounting. Belmont got a loan from American Fork City to cover the $3,485 master clock costs. Each of the four faces has an individual mechanism mecha-nism to run it, but the master mas-ter clock coordinates them. After it was returned to American Fork, it was stored for a while, then moved to the Lehi Armory for a regimen of hand polishing. pol-ishing. That also turned out to be a larger challenge than anticipated, since there were many coats of paint that had to be removed. Committee members were referred to a Provo company, compa-ny, Industrial Plating, which worked to remove the paint and restore the finish, at a cost of $2600. "We had two very generous gener-ous donations which helped pay for the polishing and other items," said Belmont.
