Standard Examiner Davis Bureau LAYTON Volunteerism is something Jennie Dudley is very familiar with. Dudley, a Magna resident, is spending a lot of time in Layton these days. She, along with as many volunteers as she can get, are renovating Lake View Gardens Cemetery at 2700 N. 400 West. I want to see the cemetery come back to life, she said. I want to make it green again. It is all a volunteer effort so we are going to do it little by little.. .. Dudley, 59, said she acquired the land the cemetery sits on in May of this year as payment for a debt. I thought, What am I going to do with a cemetery, she said. But I figure the Lord has a reason for me receiving this. Dudley is an ordained minister and runs Eagle Ministries out of Magna. The ministry is probably best known as the Fourth Street Viaduct Ministry. She, along with dozens of volunteers of many faiths, feed the homeless under the Fourth Street viaduct in Salt Lake City every Sunday from 7 a.m. to noon. Dudley started the ministry five years ago by herself, and has watched the Lord bring The weeks activities are outlined as follows: Tuesday, July page 2 ar ' Teen and Junior Teen pageant at p.m. at Clearfield High School.

While the Jack B. Parson Companies has sent out letters to every- household in South Weber warning parents of the dangers of children playing at the companys gravel and sand pit located at State Road 49 and U.S. 89. Children need to know that the pit is not a playground. In an effort to safeguard this area, the company has erected a chain link fence and placed warning signs, the letter states. However, on at least one occasion, our personnel have observed children in the pit area. - Thursday, July 12: Fun Days rodeo at 6:30 p.m. at riding arena. Free admission.

All-st- - r Because some WEST POINT West Point residents being served by the Hooper Water Improvement District are still unhappy with the quality of their water, the city council has decided to appoint a panel to research the costs of acquiring the system. After hearing complaints and suggestions last Tuesday from a committee appointed to study the water quality problems, the council approved setting up a group to find out the costs of acquiring the Hooper lines and of upgrading the city lines on the east side of town. The committee will consist of four water users from the area served by the Hooper District and four from the area served by West Point City water. The committee will study the legalities, engineering and costs associated with the city taking over the Hooper system and upgrading other lines before a public hearing will be set. The city appointed the water quality committee earlier this year. Mayor Howard Stoddard said the city has offered to take over the system, but the district refused. 1 . renovating DUDLEY on Panel to study costs of acquiring system r dia Graham (left), June Tomlinson, the builder of the float, and her son Chris.
