The Town Council found out, before they were to meet, that terms for the Board of Adjustment members are state mandated, at five years, and can not be altered by the town council, so no changes were made to this because of the response of the community, towards the new commission and board ordinance and the dismissal of the Zoning Commission's current members 3:40 Sacrament Meeting Sunday School Primary PriesthoodRSYW these actions were also put on hold for further study by the town council and zoning commission. William Way. hired as the town administrator with a three year contract, stated that the council was trying to change the ordinance governing the Zoning Commission and the Board of Adjustment in order to clear up conflicts of responsibilities between the two groups and outline more specifically who should do what on the board and commission. In making these changes to these ordinances and governing groups the town council had felt, it expedient to also change the membership of these groups.

Growth dictates creation of two new wards in Lehi South Stake ByRussDaly Oty Editor after the arrival of Bishop David Evans to the Lehi area in February 1851, the early LDS settlers were orga-- . nized into the Dry Creek Ward. Nearing the sesquicentenni-a- l of that organization, the descendants of those early church leaders created the 38th and 39th wards in the same Soon area. Under the direction of President Jim Smith, the Lehi South Stake created the Eagle Mountain and Cedar Pass Wards, and, in the process, The Lehi South Stake Presidency has authorized the five wards organized last week to convene only for Sacrament meeting on Sunday, February 21 at the times indicated in the chart on the right. realigned the Saratoga Springs Ward and the two wards in Cedar Valley. "If a stake approaches 10 percent growth, the church keeps its eye on it," President Smith told the congregation last Sunday in a special meeting where the division took place. "We have experienced 26 percent growth." Smith added that roughly half of that growth has occurred in the last quarter of the year. He said that local leaders petitioned church officials in November for a new ward. By the end of December, however, the stake presidency was informed that two wards would need to be created. "I suspect these meetings will continue to be held," he said. "It is magnificent to see the growth of the church." Quoting from a friend who is a church leader in the St. George area, which had also experienced significant growth, he said, "it's a marvelous problem." In the realignment, the Cedar Valley First and Second Wards, divided just about a year ago, were discontinued; in their places, church leaders recreated the Cedar Fort and Fairfield Wards, both of which will continue to meet in the church building in Cedar Fort The Saratoga Springs Ward and the Lehi 16th Wards were also affected by the changes. The new Cedar Pass Ward will meet in the 2nd5tb3th Ward building, 451 E. 300 North, and the new Eagle Mountain Ward will meet in the Lehi South Stake Center, 600 S. 500 West. All of the wards affected by these changes will convene for sacrament meeting only on Feb. 21. Eagle Mountain Ward Douglas C.

On a New Track Local musicians By Shannon Spencer Heslop Two local musicians are part of an exciting new group called Enoch Train. The music is fresh and innovative arrangements of folk tunes and hymns performed by an outstanding group of professional musicians. Rich Dixon of Lehi plays the guitar and does some arranging for Enoch Train. He says that because this music is so different from what he's done in the past, the project was a real stretch. That's a surprise coming from the most studio guitarist in the state. He got his first guitar from an uncle at age five, but after a few lessons, decided he wasn't . interested. That all changed when he heard the Beatles for the first time. "The sound of the electric guitar captured me," he said. "I wanted to be able to do that." After keeping after his parents for a year to take lessons, COPY create new sound with Enoch they finally relented and he started with an acoustic guitar. Dixon had to save for an electric guitar and then wore out a lot of records listening to the guitar parts and trying to figure them out. Although there were other influences, including a wonderful teacher who taught him "volumes," it was after college and a mission that he really got serious. He got his The sound lucky break with the when the Osmonds wasn't that good yet," Dixon said. The music was difficult, but he sat by others who were pros.

When Romney called him to pitch the idea of recording and performing classic melodies in a new and different way, Poole, who plays electric bass, looked at it as a real challenge.
