In 1993, Mr. Zimmerman asked if there was someway that his company and family could help the school. They offered financial contributions which allowed the teachers to purchase many supplies, textbooks, learning games, public intoxication after officers from Lehi and the AlpineHighland department broke up an alcohol party in progress in Lehi. Although several people fled the scene, the man charged in the incident did provide the names of some who had been in attendance, this in spite of the fact that the man became very belligerent towards the officers. The man was released to the custody of his sister. More than $1,500 worth of horseshoes and equipment was taken from a vehicle parked behind a residence. The vehicle was unlocked at the time. In another theft case, saddles and tack, valued at about $800 were taken from a storage shed and more than $845 in tools and audio equipment was taken from another vehicle while parked behind a local business. There are no suspects in any of the cases. An unknown suspect removed a compactor, valued at more than $2,600, from a construction site in Lehi. The equipment had been left lying on the ground between the two construction trailers. In another construction-relate- d theft case, a Micron subcontractor reported the theft of $4,500 in computer equipment. No suspects were listed because of the number of people entering the work area. An officer dispatched to a call of a suspect attempting to break into a Lehi residence located a vehicle but not suspect. The owner of the residence where the car was located had made the call to 911 when he observed a man pull into his driveway claiming that he couldn't get the motor started because a child had run out in front of him. The homeowner reported that the car was already running when he spoke with the suspect. At the scene, the officer found the engine of the vehicle running and the driver's side door ajar; the dispatcher told the officer that the s. Beat suspect was still in the yard, but the officer was not able to locate the suspect. The dispatcher did the inform, officer, however, located. Employees at a local business reported a suspicious person at their establishment who had tried to get them to join her outside the building to listen to her play music on the guitar. The investigating officer noticed an odor of alcohol and administered a breath test to the woman. She was transported to the P.D., where she located a friend who was willing to take custody of her for the night. The woman continued to play her guitar while in the holding cell. A Lehi man reported that his son had been forced off the road by a car while the youth was riding his bicycle. As the boy continued to move over to the side of the road to avoid being struck by the car, he collided with what he thinks was the mirror of a car parked by the side of the road. The dark or light grey mini van did not stop; the youth suffered abrasions, a cut and a slight concussion. Officers made a traffic stop on a vehicle that pulled onto a public street without any headlights turned on; the driver of the vehicle had no license and was found to be under age. The passengers claimed they were taking a friend home and that the owner, the mother of CjT J towards achieve helping young women an education. She credits the pageants with paying for her she is two college education quarters away from receiving her degree from the University of Utah and for giving her the opportunity to "be prepared to be more of a contributing citizen." Every contestant in the Miss Utah competition must have earlier won a title in her own community or school. Nanette began her quest when she became Miss Pleasant Grove. That year she placed in the top 10 contestants at the Miss Utah Pageant with Jennifer Ward winning the title. Her subsequent appearances in the pageant have been as Miss Utah County, Miss Utah State Fair, and Miss Utah Valley. Her parents weren't too happy when she first decided to compete, but when she won, they changed their mind and have since been her biggest supporters. They didn't know anything about pageants, she says, but after they found out it wasn't just about beauty they changed their mind. "When she first told us she wanted to try out for Miss Pleasant Grove, we told her no," Mrs. Pearson said. "She told us, 'You just don't think I can win.' It wasn't that at all, we didn't want her to think she wasn't talented or beautiful if she didn't win. We've always told her you don't have to win the crown to be a winner." Mrs. Pearson feels Nanette has grown through participation in the pageant.

Her study of classical ballet led to winning talent awards, and led to her becoming one of the first Americans to dance with an East Berlin company. "It has opened up a lot of doors for her," Mrs. Pearson said. "The pageants have paid for my entire education," Nanette says, noting she completed her junior and senior high school years while concurrently attending what was then Utah Valley Community College. She then transferred to the University of Utah where she is completing work on a double major of psychology with an emphasis on nutrition and physical fitness and classical ballet performance. She plans going on for her doctorate. Charlene Winters, publicist for the Miss Utah Scholarship Pageant, says each year thousands of dollars in scholarships are awarded to contestants.

It is something she will live with all of her life, however.
