They received permission to extend the temporary zoning regulations regula-tions in the southwest sections of the city adjacent to the proposed pro-posed 1-15 interchange. Previously, the deadline was Aug. 15. Several public hearings hear-ings had been held and a subcommittee sub-committee had worked on some of the roads and proposed zoning. zon-ing. . However, it proved to be a daunting task to complete all of the commercial and residential zoning and take into account public opinion. The new zoning extension is for six months. "We aren't going to take that long," said council member Carol Harmer. She hopes to have things finalized in a couple cou-ple months. Several council members and other city officials traveled to Price on Aug. 28 to request the extension from UDOT. John Ayre, community development director, said they were "a little nervous. But we were pleased to get the extension." "That's what we wanted, See 1-15 on Page 12 Zone Map to be discussed by city Volunteers needed for Family Week in November By Karli Poyfair City Editor If all goes well this November- for Pleasant Grove's first Family Week, Heather Miller hopes it will become a yearly tradition. Miller, who has been organizing the event, got the idea from her brother who participated in a Family Week celebration in Fort Madison, Iowa. "It was very successful there. They baked 40 turkeys for a Thanksgiving dinner," she said. "It was really a grass-roots effort and now we've heard that a town in Germany wants to do some thing similar. The organizers, who are mostly most-ly from the Battle Creek neighborhood, neigh-borhood, will be holding a meeting meet-ing Wednesday, Aug. 9. Everyone who want to be involved is invited to attend. The. meeting will be held at Heather Miller's home which is located at 1520 East Murdock Ave., beginning begin-ning at 7 p.m. Miller said Family Week already has the city's support and will involve all denominations of people, not just LDS members. "There are great families everywhere." A new Web site has been developed with information infor-mation about all the events that will take place Nov. 19-25. T S A H S A What: When: Where: Phone: The Web site can hopefully be reached soon by going to Pleasant Grove's website, www.plgrove.org. Miller also said there is a national website that has a greater depth of information on Family Week. That address is www.nationalfamilyweek.org. Miller said she was excited to announce that the Water Gardens Theatres has agreed to donate three theaters (which seat 700 people) and will show the top three current family oriented ori-ented releases on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 25. There will be a booth set up at the Heritage Festival in September, which will give the community information about the November event. Some of the planned events are a single parents night out, a neighborhood neigh-borhood block party, Thanksgiving community dinner, din-ner, and a Family Flag Night. Miller said there have been many donations already given to support Family Week. She said other events will include an essay contest, and a "Promote your Family" program. Miller said anyone who is interested and willing will-ing to become a part of the First Annual Pleasant Grove Family Week can call her at 785-4459, 785-4459, or e-mail her at heather-millerjuno.com. The Pleasant Grove city council and the planning commission com-mission will hold a joint public hearing next Tuesday night to discuss the adoption of an ordinance ordi-nance regarding a Zone Map for the city of Pleasant Grove. The map is identified in Section 14 of the Municipal Code and included in Title 14. Titles 14, 15 and 16 were adopted several weeks ago and it was pointed out at that time that insufficient notice was given regarding the zone map. The city council decided at the last meeting to hold off on approving the zone map and in order to meet the deadline, planned to have a joint meeting and give the proper notice. The zone map graphically shows all zoning district boundaries and classifications within the city, as contained in Title 14. The zone map delineates delin-eates the extent of each district or zone established in the zoning zon-ing ordinance. Adopting the zone map will establish the boundaries of zones throughout the city and may result in a change of zoning for some properties. prop-erties. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held in the community development conference con-ference room, 86 E. 100 South. Pleasant Grove skate park planning to open next week Family Week Meeting Tonight, 7 p.m. 1520 East Murdock Ave, Pleasant Grove 785-4459 By D. Kealii Elmer "The skate park will open most likely in one week," said co-owner Scott Andrews. With the ramps and restrooms complete, com-plete, all that remains is finishing finish-ing work. Located at the corner of 200 South and Industrial Drive, the Proving Grounds Skate Park will welcome skateboarders, inline skaters, and BMX riders. The dirt jumps for the BMX riders located outside are still under construction, but that will not delay the opening of the park. Whether a beginner or a sponsored athlete, all are encouraged to use the facility. Those not sponsored are required to wear pads. Along with the appropriate safety gear, minors must come with a letter from a parent, allowing them to utilize the ramps. The sponsored skaters must bring a letter on their sponsor's company letterhead verifying such status. As long as that skater is over 18, he may wear whatever he feels is necessary. To provide some supervision, three staff people will be present. pre-sent. And to enter this skate park, the cost is $6 for half a day and $8 for a full day. For more information, call 785-8395.

Each of the young men and women received a journal with the name of the pioneer they were portraying. A little history histo-ry about the person was written writ-ten along with quotes from LDS Church President, Gordon B. Hinckley. Space was provided for the young people to record their feelings about their experiences during the trek and special songs were included to sing along the way. The young people spent the first night camping at Cherry Creek Campground near Martin's Cove after pushing the handcarts for three miles on a paved road. When they arrived at the campground, they noticed hundreds of other people also camped in the area. Many wards and stakes had also organized youtn groups tp visit Martin's Cove. They were assigned fire rings in the camp area. The Youth Conference was organized with a wagon master mas-ter and family captains.
