However, Grover said the county would still be paying to feed and house the animals, and the organization wouldn't be re- -' quired to remove a certain number of animals from the shelter. "I don't know if it can be worked out," he said. The other contract, for veterinary services, looks OK, - Grover said. The shelter has space for a veterinarian, but isn't using it. When people adopt animals from the shelter now, they must pay for a voucher from a local veterinarian to get their new pet spayed or neutered, said Lt. Grant Ferre, shelter director. But not everyone uses the voucher. The veterinary program, if approved, would be the first of its kind in the state, Sharp said.

The mobile unit would still come to Utah County, but less regularly, and it would focus on the north county area. The organization wants it to be a model program, she said. The clinic would cost the organization $220,000 per year,, an amount that would be subsidized by fund raising and the minimal service fees, Sharp sakLThe organization is sponsored by Maddie's Fund, a pet rescue foundation that offers grants. The organization would focus on advertising the clinic to people who couldn't afford to get their pets spayed or neutered, she said.

It would be built on the north wall of the Academy, just west of the walkway leading to the old gymnasium. "It's that people can't get up and see the freedom room," said museum president Will Culver. "A lot of the people who want to see it were in the second World War, but they're too old now, and they can't get up to the upper floor." A new elevator would not only ease the burden for elderly visitors, but would also alleviate the problems caterers face during wedding receptions with the kitchen on the second floor. In addition to the and lICCUs matching offer, Culver said the academy is hoping to tfualify for some grant money. "It's sad when you tell people fund-raise- there are six more rooms and they can't go up or down," said Helen Scott, a building scheduler.

"We think it's very important for the local high school administrators to be involved with the selection process," said Robert Garff, CEO of Ken Garff. "They're with the students daily, and they know what's involved." Garff serves on the state Board of Education's literacy commission, and his wife, Kathi, serves on the Board of Regents. . Students at Provo High School said they're not sure what effect the incentives will have on student effort, but they do like the idea of a free car. "It's not guaranteed that you're going to win it, so people might not care," sophomore Jenny Bledsoe said. "I'm going to do normal in school; I'm not going to try just for that. But I guess it would be cool to get a new car." "Finally they're doing something fun," said Erika Anderson, also a sophomore. The free cars will be used, but will be valued at $5,000 each and will come with a three-mont30,000-mil-e warranty. Ken Garff Automotive will also take care of taxes and licensing fees, and winners will receive a $200 check for the upkeep of the cars. Every high school in Utah County, except Pleasant Grove High School, will participate in the free car initiative.

The four-stor- y building will include 43 units in one large building with an atrium, swimming pool, exercise room and views of Mount Timpanogos, Squaw Peak and the golf course. "It's going to be a very beautiful high-entype condominium," said Carl Bacon, one of the developers working on marketing for the project. Prices for the condos will range from around $300,000 to $500,000, and owners will be required to sign restrictive covenants saying they won't rent out the units, Gardner said. Construction on the project could begin as soon as October, though Gardner admitted that's a little optimistic. He expects once construction begins the building will be done in about a year. Bacon said he has already spaces. Concerns have been raised about how the building would affect parking, traffic and the Provo skyline, but Gardner said the effects would be minimal. "From an economic standpoint it will actually be a benefit," he said. "I think it will appeal to people who might otherwise move out of the area to find this kind of product ... people that have some disposable income." Knecht said he didn't consider concerns about the size of the building a major issue. "If we were worried about d Courtesy image 2005 A4 1,8 T (ill 2j0. h, ffl blocking views we wouldn't have any two story houses in town," he said.
