Show xveview - inursua,y, aepicmuei , i9a - rage PGISlab Marcella Walker by Marcella Walker We began noticing on our trips to Ogden to see my folks that KLO, an Ogden radio station, had changed their format so that they played "golden oldies" nearly all of the time. Every trip up we would listen to this station and enjoy the music. At least Jerry and I enjoyed the music. I'm sure the kids basically did not. As we rode along listening to the strains of Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, The Andrew Sisters, Peggy Lee, etc., a flood of memories would come rushing back to me. You know how you remember being in a certain place or with a certain someone when a particular song is played? Now Provo's station KEYY has begun the same format. It is referred to as "The Music of Your Life." That is a truism. When you are my age you can remember back a long way and those songs from the fifties and early sixties, even the late forties, are wonderful to listen to. It is interesting that these stations should decide to play this older type of music. There must be quite a good audience for it or they would not play it. I listen to it as often as I can. The kids change the station every op-portunity they get. One of the promos for the station says something about "listening to music that you can understand the words to." This is true. We used to sing along with the music. To this day it is easy to recall the words to these songs once you hear the music. Singing along is much more dif-ficult with today's music because, except for the occasional ballad, there is not too many distinguishable words. I've always wondered if I could understand the words would I be shocked. Remember back in the olden days when you would go to a movie and there would be a song for the audience to sing along with and all you had to do was follow the bouncing ball as it beat out the rhythm at the same time the words were revealed. Am I wrong, or is it true, that all this nostalgia with the fifties via the music, clothes, language, etc. is sticking with us a bit longer than anyone thought? A psychologist might say that with times being bad that we like to look back and reminisce about when things were better. And they already know that stvles, etc., go in cycles. makes you wonder to& " f.Thosebornafte ff f.ne time.MidenK i good time.

Merrill Gappmayer, developer for the plat, met with the council Sept. 1 to explain reasons for delay in completion by the agreed deadline. There was a misunderstanding regarding the bond held by the city to guarantee completion of the im-provements and Gappmayer at-tributed it mainly to lack of com-munication between the parties. The problem was discussed during the council meeting and an agreement reached. The council has assigned Coun-cilman William Johanson to work specifically with the developer to insure good communications between the two parties and to oversee progress on the project. The scheduled auction of four lots deeded to the city in Westridge Estates has been postponed. The council agreed to put the lots up for collateral instead, providing the loan obtained by Gappmayer will be sufficient to completely finish im-provements. The council is delaying further action for 30 days to see What progress will be made, especially on improvements to 200 South. In further action, Gappmayer agreed to allow the city continued use of the water tank located on his property. The city has been using the tank under an agreement entered into with the builder. Gappmayer has extended use by the city for at least the next year without obligation. In discussing the closing of the present landfill, the mayor reported on his meeting with the other mayors involved and on the proposal for a new landfill area. It was the feeling of the council that they would like to study the proposal further and also determine other feasible alternatives. Delbert Chipman has asked to have his property He has offered to have the new landfill based on his property. Councilman Johanson reported on a new business coming into Lindon. Golden Technology is a grain-processin- g firm that will deal directly with farmers, processing their grain for fuel alcohol and returning to the farmers a higher protein product at no cost to the graingrowers. The business will be located on Geneva Road. Carol Ann Page has agreed to be on the cable TV advisory committee. This was the last meeting in which Councilman Dennis Thompson will participate. His resignation was approved by the council and will be effective at noon Sept. 15. The councilman and mayor all extended thanks to Thompson for his excellent input into the council during the last two and a half years. Some changes were made by Mayor McMillan in councilman respon-sibilities. Ed Winters is now over parks and recreation and the newsletter. William Johanson has been assigned chairman of the planning commission and building and construction inspector. Rick North, Public Works Superintendent, and Leon Laws, Chief of Police, gave three-mont- h reports to the council on the activities of their respective departments. The council suggested use of telemetry to monitor tanks, wells, sewer stations, etc. North will be looking into the possibility. Chief Laws explained to the council the procedure an individual must follow in filing a complaint against someone else. He mentioned that the legal term was no longer "complaint" but "information". The next council meeting will be held at Lindon Elementary School preceding the public hearing on the proposed changes in the animal or-dinance. The hearing is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. on Sept. 15.

Mrs. Williamson has regularly attended Alpine School District meetings for two and one-ha- lf years and feels that a school board should direct the administration, develop board policies and procedures, be accountable to the public, establish budget priorities, budget for adequate teachers' salaries and provide adequate instructional materials for teachers and students. In addition she said the board should encourage teacher input, direct curriculum organization, evaluate and approve textbook selection, ensure teaching of reading, penmanship, composition and mathematics, provide reliable student testing and use standardized plans for school buildings. She also suggests proper public -- notice of board meetings in the local newspaper with the agenda items listed and agenda booklets should be furnished free to interested patrons. Mrs. Williamson also feels that board members should accept par-ticular areas of responsibility such as curriculum, budget, physical facilities, school lunch, teacher benefits, testing, etc. She attended the public meeting where the operational audit was presented to the legislative audit committee and she is the only school board candidate who has first hand knowledge of the contents and intent of the audit, she noted. Board members should be available two days a month for patrons and teachers to meet and discuss their views and concerns, she added.

"All we need is to en-force them," he said. Noall Wootton, Utah County At-torney, added his office intends to see the ordinances are enforced to the fullest extent of the law. "I feel the program will only be as effective as the county attorney is in prosecuting cases brought to him," Wootton said. Lt. Clayton said in most instances people "believe they have a right to burn where and when they want, " and "this isn't the case anymore." "They must become aware that we are going to take definite criminal and civil action," he said. Even if criminal action isn't taken, civil action can be taken to recover the cost of putting out the fire and in rehabilitating the land, it was pointed out. And this can be expensive, officials pointed out, saying estimated cost of extinguishing some recent fires is in the range of one-ha- lf million dollars. Officials are concerned that lifes may be lost in putting out a fire. " The bottom line is inevitibly someone is going to get hurt, and if even one fire fighter is seriously injured or killed, it can't be measured in cost. And eventually that is what is going to happen," Lt. Clayton said. Lundell said when a fire is reported to dispatchers, the volunteer or other fire department in the city nearest is called out, and "they are the first ones on the scene in most cases." After determing the size and location of the blaze, other help is called. This may be the Flamingo Crew from the Utah State Prison, U.S. Forest Service crews, or other state crews. Also called in may be the county bulldozer to build a fire break or helicopters or bombers for retardant drops. "We want to get the fire out the quickest and safest way possible," the Fire Warden said. Officials say with the construction of new homes in the foothills near the mountains, dangers also are in- - creased for both fires in the mountain areas and which would wipe out several expensive residences that may be in the path of the blaze. The new enforcement program was' announced at a meeting with media representatives and officials of the sheriff's office, the Utah County Commission, the Utah County At-torney, the U.S. Forest Service, and the State Wildlife Resources Division. peasant (Sroue i&euteui 1 1 South Main, Pleasant Grove, Utah 84062 Published each Thursday by Newtah, Inc.
