M(gsmg ffrmm IPG By BILLHOGLUND It has been said, "The informed citizen is our greatest National Asset." Whether on a national, state or local level, history has proven this statement to be true. Here in America as we exercise our basic freedoms such as freedom of speech, press, assembly etc., we do so without the slightest fear of reprisal - and that is as it should be. As we as a city approach the upcoming bond election March 30th to consider the future of the "Old Jr. High School" every effort is being made to get the facts to the citizens through the use of public hearings, brochures etc., thus assuring an informed citizenry. In addition to the several public hearings which have been held, and the bond information brochure being sent into each home, several additional opportunities to have your questions answered, receive clarification or additional in-formation has been arranged. Friday, March 26th, from 4--6 pm and Saturday, March 27th, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. a representative of the city will be at the Recreation Office Building, 41 East 200 South. . Questions regarding: v (I) Proposed physical aspects of the project, (2) Proposed use of the building, (3) Anticipated benefits to the community, (4) Estimated remodeling and equiping costs, (5) Anticipated revenues etc., may be answered at this time. As with most issues there are a variety of opinions, interests, needs etc., so it is with this par-ticular bond issue. However, it is only human nature to have these various differences which make each of us unique in our own way. So it is recreationally, socially, civically or culturally, each person has different talents, abilities, likes, dislikes, etc., what one person finds relaxing and refreshing may be pure boredom, or what one person may find as recreation may prove to be hard work for another. The main thing is to recognize that "other people are important" whether that person is a child, youth, adult or senior citizen. Thus, a Yes vote for the renovation of the Jr. High School Gym, will give Pleasant Grove "that extra something" to provide for the various needs, interests, etc., whether these are in the realm of Recreation, Social, Civic, , or Cultural activities. As a Parks and Recreation Department, we encourage citizen imput into our programming,-- . t facilities scheduling, etc., our,. 7, open-doo- r policy is very simply, we are open any time for citizen imput, suggestions, inquiry etc. Lindon May Trade Water By LINDA HARRIS Lindon City Administrator Mark Palesh, in an interview Monday, said Lindon is in a position that's "uniquely different" from the other north Utah County cities on the Central Utah Project. And that sentiment was echoed by officials at city hall during the council meeting held March 17. Lindon holds rights to 200 shares of water and is presently in joint part-nership in the Pleasant Grove-Lindo- n Metropolitan Water Company. The city is now considering the possibility of forming its own metropolitan water district. It is felt that this will be advantageous since the city could ' then exchange its untreated water for treated water from CUP's Orem treatment plant. Mr. Palesh remarked that such a move would put Lindon in a unique position in that they would be able to use their own water first and may not need to resort to use of CUP water should the Conservancy District be successful in overriding current opposition and legal action. Palesh further explained that Lindon has "a lot of water available." "We are capable of tying in directly to the plant and taking treated water if we want to - by running a line in-stead of taking untreated water. Then we could virtually turn off all the pumps in the city and never use them. For us it would be a cheap way to go. Of course, the city would still have the pumps as a backup system should they be needed, he said. It was emphasized by both men, however, that they strongly support the Timpanogas Water management agency in their desire to have the Murdock Canal used as the con-veyance for CUP water. In fact, Mark Palesh stated, it would be good if all the irrigation ditches were covered as well. City officials hold an empathetic view toward fellow cities to the north. "We do support the northern cities. We see what their problem is and we do support them in that. That's why we signed an agreement with them that we would stand behind them. These northern communities have definite needs, and water is the number one item we'll be looking at in the next few years," said Mr. Palesh, "especially if the anticipated growth of this area happens according to plan, which it is doing." He noted that studies for projected growth in the area which were done several years ago have been far surpassed by actual population figures. , . .
