All of Kohler's children have worked at the store. "Lex helped do all the price marking when he was said Kohler. They have four children, Lex in American Fork, Mike and Peggy Beck in American Fork, Cliff and Jana Kohler in Lehi, and Kevin and Melinda Johnson of Lehi. Lex has worked with the store for over 25 years, Cliff is the "vice president' and is on the board of directors while working full time in Lehi, Kevin is the Highland store manager. With the help of family, and a lot of careful planning, the Kohlers were able to continue expanding their store through the years when other locally owned stores were failing. In 1983 they built the present Lehi building which became Kohler's Food Town and then expanded it in 1990 to 22,7000 square feet with 95 employees. In 1994, the Kohlers continued to grow and prosper building the Kohler's in Highland with 26,000 square feet and hiring 130 employees. While Kohler attributes the store's success to low prices and great personalized customer service, his employees have other ideas. It seems that the Kohler's personalized service is simply generated by the owner's own example. "He used to know everyone by name and stop and talk and say hello to people, but he has found it hard to do that since he has gotten so many employees," said Lehi's Front-enManager Lisa Jolley. "He still will take time out and have lunch with us and he has store parties for the company twice a year." Responsibility in ownership twelve-years-old- ," d another attribute that stands out in associates' minds when they think of Kohler. is "Doyle never wastes a piece of equipment. "He keeps track of everything; the pallet jacks and other pieces of equipment he has maintained and used ever since the store opened," said Haws. "He tells us that we don't put anything out we wouldn't use or eat ourselves." The Kohlers have contributed unknown amounts of service and donations to the Lehi community and continue to do in kind to their new Highland community. He has also spent 27 years in the Lehi Fire Department as a firefighter. He retired last spring. "I was too darn old," jokes Kohler. "I'd pick up a three inch hose and stumble over it." He also has been member ov the Chamber of Commerce "since year one." Despite competitive pressure, Kohler still keeps his store closed on Sunday. "My employees and I need a day off and then of course due to our faith," said Kohler. Is he planning on retiring soon? "No, I don't think he ever well," said Haws. When the cows come home? "When the cows come home." A Lehi man contacted police to see what his options were regarding his son, who had taken a family vehicle and had not returned in the "couple of hours" he said he would be gone. Police told the man that he could pursue theft charges, but the man felt he should give the son one more day before doing so. The son called, saying that he had had a flat tire near Wendover and needed money for repairs; the man, however, suggested that he put the spare tire on and drive home. When the son still did not return, the man drove to the site where the son claimed to be, but could not locate either the car or the son. The man then contacted police again to have the vehicle listed as stolen. Meanwhile, Murray Police contacted the local department to report that they had found the son and the vehicle in that city. The man responded to the address provided by Murray Police, and upon contact with his offspring, was assaulted by the same. Employees of a local motel called police after smelling marijuana in a room where the tenants had refused housekeeping services. The manager inspected the room after the second day and discovered marijuana paraphernalia; investigating officers found a bag of a green, leafy substance in the toilet tank. A Lehi man was charged with driving under the influence (DUD of alcohol after officers observed his erratic driving. But then, officers had also observed the man's erratic walking from the local watering hole to his vehicle in the first place. Because the man had pulled into his own driveway, his car was not impounded; his keys, however, were released to the custody of the man's wife, who accepted responsibility for her man and his UN j ?

As they passed, they noticed that the driver was a person known to have outstanding warrants. When they went back to see if the man needed assistance, they arrested him on the two warrants, which totaled more than $2,200 and transported him to the Utah County Jail. Prior to being booked, the man called a relative to take care of the stranded vehicle. d An expired license plate led to citations for two people, and some scary moments for a Provo woman. As the officer processed the woman's name for an open container citation, dispatch advised that the woman had an outstanding warrant from Wasatch County for failure to appear. Wasatch County peace officers said they would pick her up in Provo if the Lehi officers would book her into the Utah County Jail. After the car was impounded, officers transported her to the jail, with the woman insisting all the while that the warrant was for another woman with the same name. True enough, written proof obtained at the jail showed a different date of birth for the woman in this case from the woman with the warrant. Officers then transported the woman back to Lehi with only the open container citation. A vehicle valued at $15,000 was taken from a Lehi residence, along with a purse containing check books, credit cards, house keys and alien registration forms. The case is still under investigation. Fishing paraphernalia valued at $500 to $600 was taken from a local residence where the garage door had been left open. There are no suspects in the case. A Lehi man received a call from the Centerville (Utah) Police Department telling him that they had recovered his checkbook from some other victim's stolen vehicle. Neither the man nor his wife knew that the theft had occurred and immediately went out to the garage where they had left the checkbook in their vehicles. At that point, they realized they had .been burgled and listed the items taken as a day planner, two cellular phones, car keys and a purse; total value of the items taken was more than $350.

In the past, these permits were issued to homebuilders who needed to move in before the final inspection was approved because y of weather-relate- d or issues. This required payment of a deposit to the town. The town has had increasing frustration with some families who will not reply to letters from the city to complete the final inspection process. Jerry Kinghorn, the town attorney, said, "Once people move into a house it's extremely difficult to work with them." He recommended that these homes not be hooked up to the town's power system. Kent Partridge, the Town Building Inspector, worries that people will set up their own temporary power, which can be dangerous, especially in wet weather. Another problem is people moving in illegally, without any certificate of occupancy. Kinghorn suggested that the town may have to make an example of one or two of these families to show that the town will enforce the codes. When asked what legal action will be taken against people illegally residing in their homes Councilman Bill ( 'hipmnn replied, "Prosecution." non-safet- ' r ivAA4 "I sify is." Governor Leavitt is following this counsel with the 21st Communities Century Program. In fact, "Skating to Where the Puck Will Be" is the rnotto of the program. On the official website for the program Governor Leavitt says, "The goals of the 21st Century Communities Program are to prepare rural Utah for unprecedented population and visitor growth, to create new jobs and -- ...iPftl reduce unemployment, to diverrural economies and to protect our quality of life. Its a sweeping vision." Eagle Mountain has agreed to pursue this program in order to become designated as a 21st ' Century Community. Andrew Jackson, of the Mountainland Association of Governments, presented the program to the Eagle Mountain Town Council By Tiffany Shapiro Wayne Gretskie credits his success as a hockey player to his ability to "skate to where the puck would be instead of where continued from front page prohibiting storage, trash, junk cars, and other unsightly debris on any property in the town, unless enclosed in a building or hidden by an opaque fence. Resident Carol Guthrie asked, "Who is going to enforce this?" Town attorney Jerry Kinghorn, said that concerned residents can report such problems to the sheriff or the town and the sheriff will take care of it. Anonymous reports will be accepted to protect the identity of the resident complaining. The town council implied that this ordinance will also cover jots where homes are under vy fTlfTR ponnn A keys. Eagle lot set backs, and enforcement of these issues Liisa Nusz, of the Planning Commission, requested an additional meeting to discuss the items. "There are too many issues," she said. The Town Council and Planning Commission agreed to have joint meetings on Sept. 6 and Sept. 28, with a public hearing on Sept. 28. Bob Lynds, a developer for The Ranches, requested that the public have access to the revised codes prior to the public hearing so they would be prepared to address any concerns they have with the proposed changes. An ordinance was passed vm vs nMwitfttUrl .. hi in rimlm.iii in "I t (3ID0QIIDC on Aug. 17. The process to become a designated includes a number of made by the community, ranging from economic development to education and health care. One requirement is to have a current General Plan that includes affordable housing in it. The town must then select and complete a project that works towards improving one of This can these be anything from a park to developing a General Plan. Besides the value of the and the improvements to the town, the benefits of the 21st Century Community Designation include special recognition from the governor, a plaque for the city office, and signs at entrances to the community saying that they are designated. said the Jackson Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) is available as a resource to towns like Eagle Mountain do help them complete the and reach their goals.
