City to celebrate 150th birthday with party, Heritage Festival By Karli Poyfair City Editor It may have seemed somewhat some-what like musical chairs last week as the city council and the planning commission held a joint meeting and adopted the last year's Zone Map. Neither the commission or the council made any changes to the map. The meeting began with the Pleasant Grove city council sitting sit-ting around the table as they opened the meeting. Then the planning commission took their turn in front of the room and recommended adopting the zone map. After the commission's commis-sion's presentation, it was the council's turn to. take their places again and to hold a public pub-lic hearing concerning the map. Several weeks ago the city council approved Titles 14,15 and 16 of the Municipal Code. The Zone Map is referred to in Title 14. John Ayre, community development director said the public notice, however, did not refer to the map itself. "The council felt to avoid any questions, they would hold a joint meeting so the planning commission could recommend any action to the council," said Ayre. Some residents had hoped that changes could be made to the zone map at this meeting. Jens and Annette Fugal, whose property is zoned RR or rural residential one-half acre estates, petitioned the council at the meeting to change their property to Rl-9. Jens pointed out that on two sides of his property, the land was zoned Rl-8 and one-half block away to the west is RM-7. In addition, addi-tion, after seven years, he said See ZONE MAP on page 12 Pleasant Grove's 150th birthday is approaching approach-ing fast and plans are underway for a city-wide celebration to be held Wednesday, Sept. 13, as part of the annual Heritage Festival. The birthday birth-day party will be in addition to the Heritage Festival events scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 16. The birthday celebration on Wednesday will be held at the rodeo grounds beginning at 7 p.m. the program includes a special rendition of the old favorite, "It's Autumn Time in Pleasant Grove," sung by the Rees sisters. This number was performed years ago by the King sisters of Pleasant Grove and was written by their brother, broth-er, Bill King. Elder John H. Groberg of the LDS church will be in attendance and will also give remarks. There will be musical entertainment by the high school and jr. high jazz bands along with balloons, bal-loons, birthday cake and fireworks. The festival events Saturday will be held m the downtown park. A flag raising ceremony and a breakfast hosted by the Lion's Club will begin at 7 a.m. A parade to the downtown park will begin at 10 a.m. Children are encouraged to dress in pioneer pio-neer costume and walk in the parade. There will be an antique show on Main Street and in the park there will be booths featuring old-time activities and demonstrations, a horseshoe horse-shoe competition, a tea party in the rose garden, a greased pole climb and much more. The Kiwanis Club will sponsor a Lucky Duck event. Tickets may be purchased for $5 each at the Heritage Festival or at participating businesses. busi-nesses. Entries are limited to 2000. Each ticket sold allows the buyer to adopt a rubber duck for the day. Four "Lucky Ducks" will be pulled from the Pleasant Grove Swimming Pool, with the first place winner receiving $1,000. Second, third and fourth place winners will each receive $100. Proceeds will go to the new See HERITAGE on Page 12 C.

What about keeping all the names straight? "I make a seating chart the first thing," she says, and usually knows the childrens' names by the end of the day, "but it's short-term memory" unless she spends a few days substituting the same class. It helps that a lot of classrooms have seating charts already, and names on the desks, though in some schools a teacher might get several groups of students in a day. Rocky Mountain and Aspen are extended extend-ed day schools where students have a core teacher for subjects like math and reading, read-ing, and go to specialist teachers for other subjects. "That would make a good article," arti-cle," Ellertson says about the difference between extended day schools and traditional tradi-tional schools.
