Show New Utah Pleasant Grove Review - Wednesday, December 19, 2001 - Page 12 Plan From Front Page an attempt to oust him from the commission, but city officials claim the revised date is simply the result of a review of currently appointed officers. The review found that Orvis had been appointed to complete the term of another commission com-mission member who served one of his four years and then resigned from the commission. That term ends this year. "This is just another attempt by the city council to get rid of someone," Orvis said. "They tried to get rid of people with personnel hearings, with Title 2 and now with shorter terms. If you don't represent city council positions, they will find a way to get rid of you," he stated. Orvis is considering asking ask-ing for a public hearing to discuss his appointment and subsequent release. City officials however consider the situation a case of miscommunication. Pleasant Grove is currently attempting to track all city appointments so the city recorder can have accurate records of when new appointments need to be made. "We appreciate all of Mr. Orvis' hard work," Stan Klemetson said. David Gaines was elected to be the chairman of the Planning Commission for the new year, after Cindy Boyd declined. Boyd read a statement saying, "I feel honored . . .however, I have devoted my life since Aug. 15 to possibly be serving this city as a council member. mem-ber. I will be putting in my application for the vacated council seat and I hope that I will be serving this city for the next two years as city council." Boyd was the third most popular candidate in the recent city election, missing being elected by a narrow margin. When council member mem-ber Jim Danklef becomes Mayor in January, a city council seat will be open, and will be filled by the council. After Boyd declined the chairmanship, Gaines was nominated and seconded. Gaines said he wanted to stay on the planning commission com-mission although he was aware that his term is ending end-ing this year. Even with his position as chairman, the city council is under no obligation obli-gation to re-appoint him. But with his election the commission made it clear that commission members would like to see Gaines reappointed re-appointed by the city council. coun-cil. "We the planning commission com-mission work hard to represent rep-resent the process and the people of Pleasant Grove," Mr. Orvis said. Torch From Front page perhaps in part because it happens every two years in Greece. Since it was not really crowded, they had good seats and were able to see the event clearly. Harvey's wife taped the television coverage for him to see later, and he said he had nearly that same view. One thing he did miss, however, was a torch bearer with a leaky torch and flames starting to lick at his arm. That torch was quickly replaced, and Harvey found out later what had happened. hap-pened. When the delegates went on their tour, they were protected pro-tected by tight security. "They followed us around and kept the general public away from us," said Harvey. When they went from the airport to their hotel, they had a police escort, but it still took quite a while because of the traffic. When Harvey is not taking tak-ing history-making travels or attending internationally publicized events, he is the dealer principle of Gene Harvey Chevrolet, where he has worked for 30 years, since he was 16 years old and began working for his father. "I have been here basically basical-ly my whole life," he said. The dealership is preparing prepar-ing for the torch run through American Fork in February. One day prior to the torch's arrival, they will have a Corvette signature car at their location. That car has many autographs on it, including George Bush and Tom Hanks. The public is invited to see the car the morning of Feb. 5. Following the torch run and related Corvette appearances, appear-ances, the car will be auctioned auc-tioned and proceeds donated donat-ed to the Make A Wish Foundation. Along with the Corvette, there will be an interactive trailer, with displays to give guests the feel of participating participat-ing in hockey, figure skating and ski jumping. Work is not Harvey's whole existence, though. He enjoys boating, skiing, hunting hunt-ing and fishing. "I go to a lot of sporting events with my kids," he said. With his wife Julie, they have sons Jace and Dirk and daughter Jamison. Born and raised in American Fork, Harvey now lives in Alpine. He is glad he had the chance to go on the trip to bring back the Olympic flame. "It was a once in a life- The torch is 33 inches long, three inches wide at the top and a half inch wide at the bottom. It is made of glass, copper and aluminum alu-minum to represent the ideals of the Olympic Winter Games, and is finished with high-polished and aged silver. Glass represents winter, nature, ice and purity; high polish silver sil-ver portrays modern technology; aged silver sil-ver finished stands for the heritage, traditions and heirlooms of the West; and copper embodies the fire, warmth and passion of Utah's history. The torch is shaped like an icicle time opportunity to go on the trip," he said. "It was a great experience. If you are going to stay awake, it was a good thing to do it for. It was quite an opportunity. I didn't think I would ever be in Greece." Artistry It's a combination of talent and skill. It's something special we have at Wing.

The financial crimes allegedly occurred during the suspect's employment as administrator admin-istrator of the Mira Vista Retirement Center and resulted in the business being defrauded of at least $40,000.

These statutes could include criminal crim-inal mischief, destruction of property, and disorderly conduct. The ducks and geese at the Water Gardens are normally nor-mally friendly and trusting. They often come out of the water, excited to greet visitors visi-tors and nibble their handouts. hand-outs. Some of the ducks and geese will eat from your hand. The recent brutality has frightened the ducks. They've become shy, they no longer readily approach visitors. vis-itors. Jerry Smith wants people to come to view, feed, and enjoy the ducks. "I put in the first ducks about five years ago," said Smith. He said the side walks that surround the ponds are to encourage people peo-ple to walk around, to enjoy the birds and the fish that swim in the ponds. "It's been a pleasant thing for me to watch people peo-ple enjoy the ducks," Smith said. It's not pleasant for anyone any-one to find beaten and bleeding ducks. Suspicious behavior can be reported to the Pleasant Grove Police. If someone is harassing the ducks, it's important to get descriptions of these people and their vehicles. "I'd like to found 'Friends of the Ducks,"'said Smith. He ' encourages people to come and feed the ducks cracked corn and other grains, in addition to the popular, but not particularly particular-ly nutritious white bread, The ducks need extra food and calories when it's cold. A spokesperson from the Division of Wildlife Resources encourages people peo-ple to bring worms to the ducks. "Worms are their natural food," said Jenny of the DWR. The ducks that brave the cold and remain in Pleasant Grove do so partly out of habit, and partly out of response to human kindness. kind-ness. Jerry Smith extends his welcome to human visitors, "Come, stop by, enjoy the fish and the birds." ", The ducks enjoy receiving receiv-ing kindly visitors all four seasons of the year. 3 CQjljf iD') . wmmmm Tv 1 -V '! - ,- But here in Lehi, we sort of like to keep things just the way they are.
