"What was surprising was the amount of noncompliance," said City Attorney Troy Fitzgerald. 'That's something we haven't seen before." City Recorder Jo Evans today will revoke the licenses of two of Springville's Chevron stations, two Maverick stores, the Circle C Top Stop, Allen's Super Save Market, Maxi Mart Texaco, Quik Stop, Brookside Gas and Kick 66. "I understand a lot of the businesses might be angry. I have no choice," Evans said, "We love every one of our businesses, but this is too critical." By later today, only three Springville stores that "passed with flying colors" will sell packaged beer. Those stores arc Reams Market, Flying J Truck Stop and The stores losing their beer license can appeal within 30 days to the City Council. "I'm sure all will appeal and agree to conditions to make sure in the future they won't have the problem," said Evans, who expects at least some of the stores to regain their licenses,- Springville also has two private clubs and two restaurants that serve alcohol See SPRINGVILLE, A2 PROVO, UTAH NEWSPAPER A BRAND NEW DAY lam ' ) business B9 Classified Dl VSTtomics C4 C6 Horoscope G local' A3 ; y5fiovics C4 !

My brido phoned from her office a couple of days ago and announced that she'd taken a ride just to help a friend over to the Orem City animal shelter. And while she was there... (You know what's coming, right?) ' Anyhow, while she was visiting with all those poor, poor dogs who've been lost or abandoned, she just "fell in love" with a particular pooch. Of course she did. , "Look, we've talked about getting a dog," Sylvia said. "This one is such a . sweetheart. "Why don't you go over there with " me and take a look at him for your-self?- ft 055 0005Q If you didn't already know the punch line here, you darn sure get it now. , Steve Cameron Yep, I put aside my own work for an hour or no, we dropped by the shelter and I met the mutt. Never mind, now, thalywe just got a kitten in November. Pooh, too, on the fact that we don't have a fenced yard and we'd have to remodel a dog shelter that the previous " owners of our house built adjacent to the garage. Once you walk up to that cage and the thing licks your hands, well... What are you gonna do, leave him there under a death sentence? Heck, no. One moment of eye contact and you own a dog. Sylvia's theory, by the way, is that now we're real Utahns. We have a home halfway up a mountain and therefore we ought to have a suitable beast to wander the wilderness with us. OK, babe. We've got one. Oh, by the way, his name is Sam, he's a Great Pyrenees (close your eyes and imagine a polar bear) and he weighs, ahem, a svelte 134 pounds. The lady wanted a mountain dog, and man, she found one. This animal's breeding goes back three centuries. These huge creatures have been used for guarding flocks of sheep and hauling sleds through impassable terrain. Just the thing for cuddling on the couch, eh? Anyway, now I don't feel so guilty about leaving the house unlocked. Our guard dog is the size of a Winnebago. So the moral of today's story, boys and girls, is that any trip to the animal shelter will warm your heart. And then... Just say a little prayer' that your new pet doesn't iave a $50-per-da- y food habit. 11 Phone Steve Cameron at at 8cameronsJieraldcxtra.com. 344-255- 3 or |
