September (S(iflfQDD The Lehi City Council has authorized city attorney, Ken Rushton, to send a letter to businesses in Lehi that are selling magazines to make sure they are in compliance with the Utah State statute on pornography. This was brought out by the city council in Tuesday's meeting. Chief Peterson stated that the Circle K store in Lehi had responded to the letter, and the was manager interested in 11. 19H0 20 lyDDs cars could be parked on city streets.

The council passed a condominum ordinance and the Uniform Traffic Code. The Mayor requested that a few changes be made to the traffic code to increase the from 48 hours to five days that to be parked on public streets. Some citizens present voiced it concern the new condominium ordinance, specifically how citizens would know when and if such conversions were to take place. The council pointed out that conversions would have to go before the planning and zoning commission and then before the . council, and in so doing would be advertized as agenda items, similar to subdivision approval. Representatives from Best Distributing informed the council that its ordinance on with pin ball games is probably un- constitutional. Best distributing has a contract with the Circle K corporation to K :; place various electronic games in Circle ' stores, but the Lehi ordinance states that no persons under eighteen be allowed in establishments where such games are , installed, therefore, they are disallowed from installing their games in the Lehi Circle K store. They requested the city to , the ordinance. the city council passed unanimous motion not to revoke the law. revoke However, The police department was also strongly in favor of keeping the ordinance as is. According to Chief Peterson, when such are installed, it increases the load of the police department machines work because of disturbances associated with 'those using the machines. The officials stated that such ordinances were declared unconstitutional in other states. They named Oregon specifically. They also stated that Bountiful and Layton had recently rescinded ordinances similar to Lehi's. ; felt that such games were of to Lehi, and many feared young people would end up spending their lunch money on such games. The council did agree to look into the changes made by and Bountiful. Layton They asked the officials to check back in thirty days.

The Museum Board Curt Brinkman Responds To Challenges It is difficult to imagine anyone better suited to manage the new Deseret Industries Thrift Store in American Fork than the gold medallist and winner of the Boston Marathon, coming in ahead of 6,000 competitors, including "the greatest living marathon runner," Bill Rodgers. Curt beat by more than 17 minutes, Rodgers obliterating the course record of 2 hours 34 r minutes with a time of 1:55. In the history of the race, Brinkman is the first to record-breakin- g Marathon, Curt Brinkman. is accustomed to challenges, and opening any new business during a recession is a challenge.

Brinkman's diabetes qualifications. Brinkman has overcome many barriers in becoming one of Utah's most reknown athletes. At 16 he was already 67" and ran the 440 in track. He dreamed of a professional basketball career. Then, while Curt and several friends were kept him from "properly training" for the marathon, he says. But starting last January he began racing 17 miles a day, six days a week. His training was adequate. Now he hopes he can translate changing irrigation on an Idaho farm, Curt decided to take the challenge of climbing an electric pole.

But this year became the first wheelchair athlete to ever win the Boston Curt athletic efforts into other parts of his life in business, family and church. "If I can put this sort of effort out in the other parts of my life, then I will have a fulfilled life," he told those attending the fireside. He seems to be making a good start. The BYU graduate has been serving as first counselor in the BYU 80th ward bishopric, has a dedicated wife and two children, and has been named to manage the local Deseret Industries store.

In addition, the city is asking additional money for men and equipment for fires in the county that are longer than four hours. In the words of police chief Peterson, the auction held by the police department last Saturday was very successful, and every item was sold including some bent bicycle wheels. This is the first time the police department had such an auction. The items sold brought in a total in excess of $800.00. The police department will be involved in another auction on September 15, but this time they will be spending money not receiving it. The council authorized Chief Peterson to make several bids on items being auctioned by the now defunct Riverton police department. Specific items will include two shotguns, two measuring sticks, a 1979 Chevrolet and a 1978 Pontiac. The police department is in need of two cars, and if successful in the Riverton bid, the city could obtain two good cars for the price of one new police car. The last bits of city business covered by the council included the release of Stan Smith from the Board of Adjustment to be replaced by Brigitta Holbrook and the repairing, if necessary, of a fence owned by Russon. Apparently, the city cut a gate in the fence without permission from Russon. Permission had been received from a person renting the gound, according to the city council.

This area is still county, but many firms, including Fowler Pump, are interested in being annexed into the city for city services.

Powerful Coalition Emerges From XloudOf Complaint' because of a "cloud of Organized complaints" that could find no redress -Citizens For Better Schools is fast becoming a powerful coalition in Utah County. Noel Reynolds, chairman of the group, says they are organized because as in- dividuals their complaints, both trivial and substantial, were largely ignored when taken to Alpine School District separately. He notes that most members have tried to work through district channels and have felt rebuffed. on June 12 an initial Consequently membership meet was held. Dean Curtis Van Allien spoke and the group made charter plans. These include "opening up doors, of broadening citizen understanding district business and operation." Reynolds maintains "we're not trying to dismantle the district or turn the thing upside-dowAll we want is to let the citizens get involved, know what's going on." Executive Secretary Laureen Jaussi also emphasizes that the basic purpose of the group is to help - help better education, help increase parental involvement and help the district administrators achieve their goals. "In fact," states Jaussi, "originally we attempted to work with the district, tried to form an Orem Advisory Committee working with board members and school principals. Only when we found there wasn't any administrative support or interest did we form Citizens." In a report issued this week, group officials explains that "now is a good time for a serious review of the performance of our schools. "First, there IS a national crisis in public education. A number of recent books, as well as a constant stream of articles in leading periodicals, confirm that we face some new and very serious challenges in education. The forces that have caused this crisis are becoming clearly felt in our and different new expectations of the schools. "Many members of CBS are parents whose children have attended in the nation. They elsewhere desire comparable quality here. Other parents have come to Utah to escape critical school problems in other states, only to find these same problems present in Utah Valley," reads the report. schools The citizens group sponsored the "Meet the Candidate" night at Pleasant Grove August 28 and they plan another "Candidate Night" for the primary winners in October.

A group; Meetings for the group will move around the valley, so as to gather input from the various communities and be able to more fairly judge the needs and wants of Alpine School District parents and students. Presently Citizens For Better Schools is focusing on 13 areas of concern. Jaussi describes these areas as continual areas of citizen concern and foresees individual committees working on each aspect of district education. Administration, budgets, curriculum, extracurricular activities, discipline, fundamental schools, government, physical facilities, the school board and school school law, teacher board elections, competency, and test scores are the present committee groups within the organization. Jaussi mentions that several committees still need a chairperson, and help is welcome. Membership to the Citizens For Better costs $5, is encouraged and is Schools growing rapidly.
