The coalition consists of 11 state and nonprofit organizations concerned Thirty-fiv- e with helping school districts provide healthy and appetizing meals to public school students. The "Silver Fork" awards being presented to schools throughout the state recognize the headway the schools are makingfor meeting new federal guidelines on fat content. Under the new regulations, schools will have to make sure that no more than 30 percent of lunch calories come from fat and no more than 10 percent of those calories can come from saturated fat. The lunches must also cut down on sodium and cholesterol. These guidelines must be fully implemented within the next four years. The awards recognize different levelsof progress towards thegoals, from Level I through Level IV. Half of those being recognized in the Alpine School District had reached Level III.

Morris Clark was racing into the arena as part of an introductory salute, his borrowed horse, as onerous as anything on the grounds, bucked him off, breaking his arm in the process. Undaunted, he survived to ride again, albeit on more favorable mounts. In 1967 he was elected to the city council and assigned responsibility for streets, water, parks and buildings. His work as a councilman included extensions of the sewer system, constructions of new water mains throughout the community and instillation of a new collection system at the springs above Alpine. As mayor, Clark continued the revamping of the Alpine springs. Collection boxes were buried 15 feet underground to prevent contamination and root dam age. A new m ain line from Alpine to 12th East also replaced the original wood pipe system which had been installed in 1909. TheApril30, 1970 Lehi Free Press announced that the city-owne- d "rat-infeste- d, eyesore known as the City dump" would be permanently closed on May 10. To comply with state air pollution regfoul-smellin- g, ulations (Lehi's garbage was burned), to eliminate health hazards, and to be more economical, the cities of the northern end of Utah County combined with the county to convert the Lindon dump (just north of the old Geneva Resort), into a sanitary landfill operation where burning was forbidden. Mayor Clark, during his tenure, alsoorganized the Lehi Youth Council to obtain input from the younger citizens and to obtain their assistance in city cleanup and beautifi-catio- n projects. In addition to extending the local sewer system to the northeast quadrant of town, the mayor also initiated an extensive curb and gutter installation project throughout town. No mayor stands alone in administering city government. During Mayor Clark's term he received substantial support from council members J. B. Cooper, Lavere Downs, Dr. Kent B. Davis, Reed L.

Swenson headed the committee formed to rejuvenate the business n district. Kenneth Greenwood, the Swenson committee, and a director of the Chamber of Commerce, became a dominant force in the rehabilitation of Main Street. Teaming with his mother, Opal, and hi s brother, Dennis, Green wood in a short period of time purchased five buildings on the south side of Main Street. The family's first venture was the establishment of From the serv-ingo- Greenwood's, a drive-i- facility n sell- ing dairy products, bread, eggs, and other staple items. This convenience store opened in February 1971. Later that fall the family announced the grand openingof Greenwood Carpets & Interiors and the LaFeria Reception Center, which were housed in the former Racker Buildings (now Colonial House). They also remodeled the former Davis Market building (now Western Tack and Togs) into a large carpet and furniture warehouse. In May 1972 the family renovated the old Lehi Billiards building (now Cobblerock Cloggers) into Ye Old Pool Hall Gift Shoppe. Three local men, Dick Smith, Ned Wilson and Wayman Winslow, also purchased the Star Cafe at 130 West Main in February 1971. The Small Business Administration granted a $101,500 loan to the Lehi Industrial Fund Enterprise in March 1971. This money, combined with an additional $100,000 of loans from the State Bank of Lehi ($81,200) and the Lehi Industrial Fund Enterprise ($20,300) resulted in the construction of a fifty by building north of the Lehi Riding Clubhouse on Fifth West. Virgo Corporation, a wholesale meat cutting company which customized cuts for restaurant use owned the building until June 1978, when the business became Granite Beef. Other Lehi businesses to open in 1971 included Dennis and Frank Huggard's popular Porter's Place. In July, Bruce and Mara Dee Peck established a clothing store, The Pacesetter, in the Lehi Cleaners building at 101 West Main. In Au -- gust, Robert and Frankie Flygare opened The Hitchin' Post, a combination laundromat and beauty parlor in the former Ashton Laundromat. And LaVar Goodwin purchased State Street's Lehi Cafe from Dennis Huggard in October.

The Maverik Country Store at 500 West Main opened in October, while Pyke Manufacturing Company expanded its Lehi plantbysixthousandsquare feet, and hired an additional fifty e operators. Two disheartening stories of 1972 were the July closing of the Royal Theatre, a moviehouse which had provided entertainment since 19 14, and a devastating fire which destroyed Greenwood Carpets & Interiors and the LaFeria Reception Center on Oct. 8. The following day a large, enthusiastic group of Lehi businessmen and women gathered in the city hall to offer their assistance in helping the Greenwoods rebuild. Eleven hundred citizens turned out to a banquet on Nov. 3 in which $2,29 1.30 was raised for the LaFeria Fire Fund. Eventually both businesses were again in successful operation.

Tuff and Jetta Allred opened Backroom Antiques behind TulFs Barbershop at 60 West Main, and Continental Drapery commenced business at 286 East Main. Lehi's last surviving log cabin, built in the 1880s by George F. Southwick and his son Azer, was sold to a Provo man and moved from its location at 55 East First South in April. In May 1973 the Lehi Volunteer Fire Department suspended the old curfew bell from a frame in front of the fire station. Dan's Drive Inn, popular eating place at 96 West Main, suffered a $25,000 fire in June. Citizens rallied to assistown-e- r Dan Simper and he was soon again selling burgers, fries, and shakes. Sportsman Lynn Horrocks opened Timberline Hunters Supply at 155 12 West Main on 30 June, and Dennis Huggard opened The Long Bench, an parlor, just east of his Porter's Place restaurant. The Jay Haws family opened Haws Paint and Glass at 125 East Main in July, and one month later General Refractories announced a $1 million expansion project to include a new grinding and burning facility at their plant. The Lehi chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers erected a large granite monument on the site ofthe Lehi Meeting House after it had been demolished in September. Mayor Clark elected not to run in 1973. His wife for Matilda died in 1977 and the following year Morris married Donna Evans. He continued to work for the Sugar company in Lehi and West Jordan, Utah until his retirement in 1980.

When confronted with the charge, Anderton admitted his employees had dumped there. Since the dump site has been cleaned up by Anderton, drywall has also been found on state lands. This case will be pursued for additional prosecution by Utah State Lands and Forestry.

"It's a shame," he said, "because we have limited funding and these losses prevent us from providing improvements that the public wants."
