'h1q'b hnHv was found leAccord in the parking lot of the Fraternal Order of eagles lodge in Pleasant Grove with a single gunshot wound in her head. The prosecution is expected to call its final witnesses, wit-nesses, including expert witnesses wit-nesses from the state crime lab and the ' state Medical Examiner's Office, to the stand today. Kalkbrenner and Nay said they were leaving the Eagles lodge when they saw a woman at the car. 'We drove by the car and noticed there was something some-thing in the gas tank on fire," Kalkbrenner said. Nay called 911 while Kalkbrenner Kalkbren-ner pulled a rag out of the gas tank and shut the door. The woman, Kalkbrenner said, was gone in a hurry. The woman was wearing sweat or jogging suit, the men testified. Nay said the woman had dark hair. Nay said he thinks he saw the woman again when a witness came into the Pleasant Grove police station, sta-tion, though he can't be positive. pos-itive. She looked a lot like the woman in the picture he had just picked out of a photo lineup, he said. "It was a different feeling I've never experienced before," Nay said. But on cross-examination by defense attorney Richard Gale, Nay testified that there were no lights above the car and that the closest lights to the car were about 100 feet away from the vehicle. vehi-cle. Nay said there was probably also a smaller light on the Eagles lodge. Cell phone records presented pre-sented in court Thursday place Brown close to that parking lot around the time Pajela's body was discovered. discov-ered. As to a motive for the murder, Ryan Bryant, a former for-mer agent with the Utah State Bureau of Investigation, Investiga-tion, testified Thursday that checks that appeared to be going to pay company bills were actually, going to Brown and her sister. The state alleges Brown shot and killed Pajela to cover up the theft of between $25,000 and $35,000 from Pajela, Brown's former boss at Mira Vista Retirement Communi- ty Pajela's friend, Kay Wal-lis, Wal-lis, testified she saw Pajela with Brown the day she was murdered. All three women were at Pajela's house the day she was killed. Wallis left around 7:30 a.m. with Brown and Pajela remaining remain-ing in the house. eatre Continued from front smber and owed about iLOOO in license fees to 10 :on picture film compa-; compa-; including Dream-is, Dream-is, MGMUA Distributed Distribu-ted and Warner Broth-: Broth-: Distribution.

Mont McDowell, LCA's bankruptcy bankrupt-cy attorney. The three-month upgrade of Water Gardens, which was scheduled to start in August 2003, included converting four of Water Gardens' theaters to stadium-seating, painting the exterior of the cinema, expanding its lobby and adding an arcade room. The cinema was built in 1997. "We were blindsided by the contractor. It couldn't have happened at a worse time, since we lost the buffer cash reserves meant to cover us during our slowest slow-est period from January through April," Roylance said. "At some point, we plan to pursue Capital Construction Con-struction for our money." Capital Construction could not be reached for comment. The residential builder, located at 251 W. Riverpark Drive in Provo, is listed as a company in good standing by the Utah Department of Commerce. Its business license was renewed July 16. Further aggravating LCA's financial condition is competition from Cinemark American Fork, a new 12-screen 12-screen movie theater that opened in December, Roylance Roy-lance said. "We had a bad winter. But our business has come back. Our foot traffic was up in summer." The company hopes to emerge from its Chapter 11 restructuring in a few months and plans to add two more screens to the six-screen six-screen Water Gardens cinema cine-ma and complete its remodeling remod-eling project by November, Roylance said. cil an: t ifl! detff ; ciri e Land 1 plan u. tan ..

Duval said that by allowing allow-ing non-conforming uses to move the city created the opportunity for conflicts, like the one between Dustin Sweeten and his landlord, Skip Dunn,- who both claimed the conditional use permit for a used car lot at the Country Cars site. The judge in that case asked Sweeten to meet with the City Council about alternatives, saying he thought no matter how he ruled the other party would have grounds to sue the. city.

Citizens also want to avoid encroaching on the Alfred's Ace building, Wils Memorial Park, and Moun- tainland Head Start. In all three scenarios, someone's property will be adversely affected. "Alternative 2 makes the most sense because it impacts the least amount of people," said councilwoman Cindy Boyd. "It has" to" be done, but how their going to be about it, I don't know," said Howard Sorenson, owner of the trailer park, "Most of the alternatives will affect me." Sorenson said he would rather see more emphasis placed on developing and using rapid transit to remedy reme-dy the traffic problem. Choosing the route will only be half of the puzzle. The Union Pacific bridge, built in 1932, cannot be saved because it would fail to span a five lane highway. The Utah Transit Authority owns the right-of-way over the 72-year-old bridge. UDOT and Horrocks Engineers have designed three additional alternatives alterna-tives that will accommodate for the tracks: An overpass, an underpass, or at the same grade. Each of these proposals will affect the area the same, but will differ dif-fer in aesthetics and cost. UTA prefers to keep the road and tracks separated, but the city and most citizens citi-zens would like the tracks and State Street to intersect. inter-sect. "At grade will make it attractive for businesses," said Holdaway, who works for nearby Westroc. "I don't think the traffic will be very affected by the trains." Frank Mills, Pleasant Grove City manager, also supports the at-grade option. "It gives the city more options," he said. A public hearing will be held in January 2005, where the preferred alternative alter-native will be presented with the finer details, including cost estimates. In March 2005, the Federal Fed-eral Government will make the ultimate decision, taking tak-ing into consideration all environmental impacts, cost, and community input. Those who missed the Aug. 5 meeting, can view the project alternatives at www.udot.utah.gov and submit preferences and comments online.
