'Despite their concerns about the aesthetics of the structure itself, members of the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved Al Belt's request to build a 5,000 square foot Country Kitchen restaurant adjacent to the Main Street interchange of "We went to great lengths to make Days Inn change from vinyl," said commission member Elmer Scott. "We don't want people coming in with vinyl." Commission member Brad Christofferson echoed Scott's sentiments, saying that it looked "like a plastic house" and asked if Belt couldn't add some brick columns or other highlights to the building. 5. Commission and Robert Fox disagreed, however, saying that "what they're trying to do makes sense," because a franchise should look similar to other buildings within the franchise.

The finished product, valued at more than $11,000, was likely destined for Utah County. A Lehi woman found out the hard way that some of her checks had been stolen when West Jordan Police called to let her know that someone had tried to pass one in that area. The woman has since closed her account. Police are still investigating the theft of a motor home which had been impounded from an earlier traffic stop. A Lehi woman, attempting to cross State Street at 100 East, struck an eastbound vehicle on State Street, which then lost control and struck a third vehicle which was stopped at 100 East while waiting to turn left onto State. The car belonging to the first woman sustained about $800 in damages, while the other two vehicles sustained about $1,000 damage each. A Lehi woman reported the theft of items from her unlocked vehicle; she 'later found her purse, which had been dumped out by the side of her house. The unknown suspect made off with her credit cards and $4 in cash. 4 Local volunteers create Time Lehi High School By er try home. SEP Educators are preparing again for ParentTeacher Conferences.

The man was originally stopped for license no having plates on the vehicle, although the officer later saw a temporary sticker. The driver could not produce a driver's license, and after checking with dispatch, the officer noticed a plastic bag with a white, powdery substance; he later found a syringe and a spoon when searching the vehicle prior to it being impounded.

The project began in earnest in May of 1998 when Gunther, after visiting the counties on a CARE tour, enlisted the help of men, women and children in American Fork to help produce nearly 8,500 CARE packages to provide the desperately needed supplies. (In addition to the educational bags, birthing kits will be put together and sent later in the year). Gunther contacted St. Peter's Catholic Church, the American Fork Community Presbyterian Church and other faiths in the area and members gladly said they would give of their time. As word of the project got around, volunteers from communities from Springville to Lehi appeared, wantingto help.
