The original sign was constructed many years ago as an Eagle Scout project by Darrin Nicholson and Chris Bair. 1 half-hidd- v Time and weather have taken a toll on the sign, and the West Point LDS Second Ward is doing something about it. As part of the Pioneer Sesquicentennial, the group is imward is landscap proving the eyesore. pe area around the sign, reing a painting the sign, and adding a floodlight, sprinkling system, grass, fence and flowers. Utah Power owns the property that the sign sits on. The power company rents the field behind the sign to a local horse owner. Mayor Howard Stoddard met with an official of Utah Power and gained the companys permission to landscape the property. The company also consented to provide a donated connection for a flood light. A water connection will also be added to provide water for the grass. The ward is providing the financing, obtained through donations, and all the labor. The city will maintain the property once the project is complete. Jane Webecke and Mary George are planning the activity. The cost estimate for the project is $1,439. This will be a source of pride for the community. We wanted to do something to make a lasting difference, and this is the project we decided on, said Webecke. City council members said they are excited for the work to begin. We are grateful to have this project done by the people of our city, said Councilman Farrell Cook. The ward hopes to have the utilities in place by Monday so volunteers can plow the site, remove the tree and take down a rusted barb wire fence. They will then begin installing the spnnkler system, trimming the remaining trees and installing a new fence. For information or to donate time or money to the project, call Webecke at 773-286- 7.

His homo sits on 1.6 acres and has room to be subdivided into three lots. His Initial request was to have the land changed to a zoning requiring 20.000-squarloot lots, but he lot zoning changed to to please his neighbors, and in hopes of changing the minds of council members. e halt-acr- A 20.000 square-foot-lo- t is not a small lot by any means. said Blackham who doesn't want to own animals so doesn't need as much land as he has. Now there will be a new public hearing on the rezone because the council wants the neighbors to know it is being discussed again. It is not wise to change it without a hearing. The citizens need to hear it." said Councilman Reed Nelson. A public hearing was set tor Aug. 5 at 6:30 p.m. One city councilman told Mayor Arthur Johnson he was very unhappy about having the subject brought up again. "Mayor, I dont like you bringing this up again. We are friends and they know we turned it down before. There are going to be feelings," said Councilman Joe Hill. It isn't necessary for the council to hold a second public hearing. It could just rescind its past vote and change the zoning, but the council decided to hold a hearing. Mobile home park By LORETTA PARK Standard-Examin- KAYSVILLE doctors said Craig had less than a month to live, and he immediately returned to school to help students who didnt feel so good about themselves, said Jami Zigich, the citizenship director at Bountiful High School. An article about his efforts and his determination to graduate appeared in the Lakeside Review on June 5. His sister, Donna, announced her engagement in January, and Craig had decided he wanted to attend her wedding June 12. He did attend her wedding, where he shared best-ma- n duties, but after returning home from the reception, Craig became ill and was hospitalized, his mother said. He died June 28. He taught me how to love and how to live, his mother, Dorothy, said. Hes my hero, Don said. Craig is survived by his parents, his brothers and their wives, Calvin and Cristy Zesiger of North Salt Lake, Mark and Monica Zesiger of Layton, Darrin and Alisha Zesiger of West Bountiful, DeeLynn Zesiger of West Bountiful; his sister and her husband, Donna and Scott Woolstenhulme of Logan; his grandparents, Glen and Ellen Bryson, and Maijorie Zesiger, all of Bountiful; and nieces and nephews.

Steve Britt and Mike Sims from the city got the council this week to tear down an old house on the property and to replace it with a new manufactured home. The city gave approval for the owners to take their project to the planning commission for a conditional use permit. Besides tearing down the home, they will be replacing street and curb and gutter. It will add value to the park and to the city, said Sims. d CLINTON Booth rentals ready for festival The organizational committee for Clinton Citys annual Heritage Days is making plans for Aug. 9.
