He assisted his neighbor, Calvin Walker, who started the weather station in his back yard in 1948, until Walker's death in 1980. The station was then moved across the street into Davis's backyard. ' . Every evening at 6 p.m., Davis goes to his weather station to record the measurements. A wooden white box houses two thermometers, one to record the daily high temperature and one to record the daily low. Davis measures any precipitation that has come during the past 24 hour period and records this into a daily log. He measures the depth of the snow pack. If there's snow in the rain gauge, Davis takes it inside to melt it m order to find out how much water is in the snow.

Judy Noziska, a volunteer volun-teer with the Pleasant Grove Youth Theatre said, "Everyone who volunteers in this community should be extremely concerned. No other community does that to volunteers." Since the term "with cause" is already in the ordinance many people are wondering why the city council feels the need to remove someone without cause. "Volunteers already answer to everyone in the city," Noziska said. "If we're afraid of not pleasing someone some-one you can't do your job to the best of your ability."

The store is a project of two fifth-grade teachers, Sherl Miner and Rudy Dominguez, who ran a Christmas store for 20 years at another school before Mt. Mahogany opened last year, and a sixth-grade teacher, Jenny Sumsion. Miner says that the store is a tool to teach economics. It has a board of directors, employees, stock, a business license, a bank account, a three-day membership in the Pleasant Grove-Lindon Chamber of Commerce, and even the Chamber's traditional tradi-tional First Buck of Profit, presented by Dustin Sweeten. Sweeten told the board and the other students in the three classes that business busi-ness is important in a community com-munity because business taxes provide services. "Houses don't pay enough taxes to pay for their services," he said. Sweeten said he is in his seventh business and ... F--."T ' " - i "ZZZ.IZ.

Planning commision oposses revision By Julie Bellon The Pleasant Grove city council's proposed change to move the Planning Commission from the Chapter 14 Land Use section sec-tion of code to Title 2 volunteer volun-teer organization was the main topic at the Planning Commission meeting Nov. 29. The planning commission commis-sion takes issue with several sever-al points of the proposed change. In a motion made by Ernest Bramwell, commissioners com-missioners stated that "the required drafts of all affected affect-ed zoning ordinances have not been submitted to the Planning Commission completely com-pletely and in a timely manner" man-ner" and that there is no fair way to "assess the future justice and fairness of appointment and dismissal dis-missal of public servants for Land Use Planning." By moving the Planning Commission to the Title 2 section of code, the city See Planning on page 12 A Christmas store opens at Mt. Mohogany Elementary. talked about some of the things a person needs to do to set up a business, like convince a bank that the business will succeed, so they will loan startup money. He told the students that a new business may go for a couple of years without earning a profit, and require a lot more than eight hours a day, so they should be sure they like a particular kind of business before starting one. The store runs until Thursday, Dec. 6 from 8:15 a.m to 4 p.m., although it will close early Thursday if goods sell out early. The public is also welcome. Visitors should stop at the office for a visitor's badge. iv;;.. ,.:i. 1 J0k s t |
