Let's exercise our option as citizens and get out and vote next Tuesday. DENNIS L. THOMPSON Lindon Lindon City's election this year carries some overtones of politics as the two parties both had to select alternate candidates when a law that has largely been ignored over the years was brought forth and two of the candidates challenged. Ray Walker of the Progressive Party and Jay Glenn Roundy both work for public utilities, and the law states that they cannot be elected to office because there might be conflict of interest involved. Replacing Mr. Walker on the Pro-gressive Party nominees is Dennis L. Thompson. He and his wife Karen have seven children, and after farm-ing for several years in Idaho he returned to college to study govern-ment, and he is now a professor of Public Policy at Brigham Young University. He is a graduate of the University of Idaho, Arizona State Univiersity and the University of California at Santa Barbara. He has had experience in govern-ment at several levels, having served as a Foreign Service Officer for the U.S. Department of State, assistant to the Governor of Arizona, and con-sultant to county governments in several states. He served as an officer in the U.S. Army Intelligence. He has served in numerous civic and church activities over the years, including service as field commis-sioner for the Boy Scouts of America for Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.; in five L.D.S. bishoprics and branch presidencies, including being bishop and is now a member of the BYU Stake High Council. He is dedicated to living in a rural setting and to beautifying Lindon. His hobby is gardening. Darrell Frampton Darrell Frampton and his wife Beth have lived in Lindon for 21 years. They have three children, Bret, serv-ing a mission in Ohio, JoLynn, 17, a songleader at Pleasant Grove High and Darin, 14, currently studentbody president at Pleasant Grove Jr. High. Darrell is a Lindon businessman, who owns and operates Lindon Preci-sion Co., a machine shop, located in the Lakeview Industrial Park in Lin-don. He is very familiar with Lindon's industrial problems, He has also serv-ed four years as a councilman for Lin-don and is up do date on city matters. Both Darrell and Beth are commit-ted to Lindon and helping keep it a good place to raise their family. For the Progressive Party, LeRoy Jacklin and Edward Winters are still candidates along with Mr. Thomp-son, and for the Citizens Party, L. Gae Hill and Oliver K. Johnson were joined by Mr. Frampton. The Review hopes Lindon citizens will get out and vote, and that the best qualified men (or woman) will be elected. DARRELL FRAMPTOM ""feasant Grove, the Mot P' Situated City in Utah County" VOL. LXXII, No. 4 PLEASANT GROVt, UTAH 84062, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1979 Single Copy 15 g CHAMPIONS Cloggers West, from Pleasant Grove High won first place in their division and seventh overall at the Festival of Champions, held in Fontana, North Carolina recently. Picture shows the cloggers and inset the trophies won Cloggers West World Champions in High School Division in North Carolina The Cloggers West organization is barely more than two years old and the young dancers register for the ac-tivity as a physical education class. So popular is the class that a second class of beginners was set up this year, and two night classes are taught every Thursday night at the high school, one for junior high age and younger, and one for adults high school age and older. The whole idea was set up under the direction of Mrs. Delores Brad-shaw- , counselor at the high school, and by John Gourley, principal. The dancers are directed by Terry Tucker, choral music director at the high school. Pleasant Grove's own Cloggers, dancing under the name of Cloggers West, recently returned from Fon-tana, North Carolina, where they competed in the Festival of Champ-ions, World Clog Championships. The local group, the only dance troupe invited from west of Indiana, was one of only eighteen clog dance teams to be invited and approved to attend the prestigious contest. The Cloggers were declared world champions in the high school age division, and were invited back to participate with five other cham-pions, runnerups, and the wild card teams in the grand finals. There were eleven teams in all dur-ing the four-coupl- e team champion-ships, with the Cloggers West amass-ing 355 points, good for a seventh place finish overall. So close was the judging that an average of only four points per judge separated the top seven teams. MrJst of the clog teams were co-ncentrated from eastern and southeastern states, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland and Indiana. Clogging ap-pears to be a form of square dancing which many people associate with the geographic west. However, the clog dance originated in the hills and mountains of southeastern in the Blue Ridge Moun-tains of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina. The competition is extremely spirited there and there are many many clog teams from these areas.
