An American Fork man of age to vote but not to smoke driving a vehicle with an expired registration, was found to be in possession of tobacco; a search of the vehicle revealed that he and his passenger were also in possession of a greener weed as well. The man was booked into the Utah County Jail on the tobacdrug charges, as well as lack of insurance and current registration. The passenger was also cited for possession of tobacco and marijuana. A Lehi woman reported the vandalism to her car, which occurred while her son was driving across the 500600 East overpass. It seems that two urchins on bicycles were standing on the overpass at approximately 760 North, when one of them threw a rock at the car, smashing the rear passenger window. The imps took off down the side of the overpass, not to be seen again. Another Lehi woman reported vandalism to her car in the form of a brick, which was found on the driver's side of the car, after it had hit the hood and passed through the windshield, causing a total of approximately $700 in damages. Lehi police executed three Lehi Justice Court warrants during the week, including a $2,180 warrant on a Provo man, who was arrested as he returned home. The two local residents with outstanding warrants each posted bail, one for $110 and the other for $440. co and " - - - Local artists Dawn Harward, second from left, and Steve Streadbeck, right, assist Lehi High School students Dustin Franc and Tricia Henrie as they prepare for an art show for students developed by Harward, Mrs. Lehi International.

The public is invited to attend the exhibit, with will be held Thursday, March 4 from noon until 9 p.m. and Friday, Correction think the dream was too practical, however, as Lehi really didn't have a swim team at the time and had no facilities to support one. "We couldn't believe we could get him," she confides, adding he was worth waiting for. When a student's not doing so well, she says Meyring finds out and gets them the help they need. Without the channeling that happens in a kid's life, many could go either way. With Meyring's program, Peterson claims there is a reinforcement of the values taught both in the home and the community. Calling Meyring a friend and a mentor to the students, Peterson describes him as "growing a great human being. He helps the kids be the best they can be. He really cares." His support goes beyond the team, beyond the school walls. He attends every Eagle Scout Court of Honor and missionary farewell of his students that he can. ."He's an amazing person to me, adds Peterson. "We're so fortunate to have him." Meyring claims that behind every good man there is a better woman. "That's gotta be true in my case," he added, speaking of his wife Vicki. He and his wife Vicki had a kind of courtship. At pen-pthe time, Meyring was living in Seattle following the break-u- p of his first marriage, and Vicki invited him to come to Provo and attend a BYU football game with her. al When they married, they made their home in American Between the two of Fork. them, they have twelve children. All Meyring's life he says he just wanted to be a Swim Team coach, but after marrying Vicki, he was asked to teach other classes. He accepted an assignment to work with youth in custody. "It was the richest experience I could have," he says of the assignment. For seven years he worked with tough kids who appeared more like the regular kids he had taught in California. One of his students in the class said of Meyring, "He was the only teacher who ever looked at me, who treated me like a person." Since coming to Lehi, Meyring has been teaching the intellectually handicapped students at the high school. Initially the parents were apprehensive about having a man take over the role traditionally assumed by a woman, fearing their children would not relate to a man. But Meyring has been quickly accepted by his students. Vicki says he's there to help them participate in Special Olympics, and he always goes to the proms and dances with every girl in his class. She talks fondly of a couple of former students who call Jiim two or three times a week. She says he always drops whatever he's doing and takes the phone and The opening social for the Miss Lehi Scholarship Pageant will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 6. The time had been incorrectly reported as 10 a.m. in last week's issue of the Lehi Free Press New Utah! All potential Miss Lehi candidates are invited to attend the meeting to learn more about the requirements for the June pageant. For more information on the pageant, call Danaca Palmer Hadfield, success on the team, and visa versa. Vicki says his interest in his students goes beyond their success in the pool or the classroom, however. Meyring is a "loving, caring, optimistic, positive person," she adds. "He sees the swimming pool, the classroom, as tools in life, teaching students about meeting challenges and preparing them for the real world." He's just that kind of person. Coach Dennis Meyring is, indeed, a very rare and unusual person. 768-011- 8. Saratoga planners resign Two successful developers in back to the Commission for study and revision. The changes that were approved this week gave the council the authority to reorganize the board with its existing members, limit the town administrator's ability to oversee town land use issues and reduced the board's membership to five. With the approval of the Saratoga Hills development west of Redwood road and a the Saratoga Springs area, Jon Roberts and Mike Dortch, who were members of the Planning Commission, resigned Tuesday. They thought their resignation would be best for the town, by alleviating a possible conflict of interest and helping reestablish a redesigned five-memb- er Planning Commission. The previous week the town council tried to change the Planning Commission and remove its members by ordinance but found that their move conflicted with state law. So the ordinance was sent preliminary go ahead for pro- jects east of the current town office building the town continues to expand and fill the surrounding farm land.

When asked what he would like to- do, he said he wanted to learn how to swim. Meyring agreed to teach the young boy how to swim if he met his academic goals. He met his goals, and Meyring taught him. Though minimum academic goals for a high school athlete is 2.0 GPA, Meyring's swim team has adopted the higher standard of 3.0. He said the team this year has maintained an average GPA of 3.46. It's been as high as 3.67.
