Water woes resurface at new Lindon Marina boat launchings until the dike again appears. Before Castle took out a tentative lease on the marina, the dike had almost gone completely underwater and it was during that time that a youth lost his life in a drowning accident. Castle came forward with an offer some time later to build the dike back up and several tons of slag from Geneva were hauled to the site. The Marina was a very popular spot over the Memorial Day weekend. Along with the newly repaired dike at Lindon Marina, business at that boat launching site took a disappointing dive two weeks ago when waters continued to climb over the roadway once again. Visitors to the Marina during the last two weekends found water that had reached almost to the entrance shed where fees are collected. Norm Castle of Sports Specialties in Orem, who has sunk a great deal of money into the harbor as sublessee from the city, is very hopeful that the lake will peak in another week and then start drop-ping. Right now it's difficult to get a truck out onto the dike to launch a boat but Castle hopes to have a tractor down there to help with the Fire restrictions start Pleasant Grove R.v Newman, K Chief reminded residents Ey that 'beginning July 1 and Suing until Sept. 15, no burning J rlny kind is allowed within the 2 BL restrictions are placed into pffect during the time of the sum-v- i Lwhen the fire danger is high. fir,, Chief Newman said there will be no exceptions to the rule. He cautioned that when people burn it not only creates a danger of spreading, but people seeing the smoke may call in an alarm when really no emergency exists. It is very costly to put the fire trucks on the road and if it is a false alarm is constitutes unnecessary expense to the city. Police officers are authorized to issue tickets to those who do not abide by this ruling, he said. The members of the fire department may also issue citations for this offense, it was noted. 1 oWade Springs t: (Continued from page 1) ? Usmall leaks were found in the " leel Pipe the line flows into, but L were clamped Friday. Brooks this indicates that that line needs to be replaced. In order to alleviate stress on the line it will be allowed to free flow into the Monson Tank without pressure building up in it. The city does not anticipate any problems with any of the city water system, Mr. Johnson stressed. He said that if a mudslide should come into the lines in Battlecreek Canyon it could take out the line. Brooks reported also that they are trying to repair the worst leaks throughout the city first, so if you have a comparably small leak, report it and then be patient until they can get to it. He said that some leaks are caused by settling of the soil from saturation, the lead joints of some pipes and the age of pipes. Johnson noted that tests on all the water systems show the water is just fine. Even when the Wade Springs pipe broke and the water was muddy, it still tested good as far as drinking was concerned, he added. The water never has needed to be boiled, he affirmed. oFamily (Continued from pagel) two 5 year olds and one 3 year old, which makes for a very interesting Me, as attested to by Valerie's brother, Blaine, who even published a story about it - "The Day Things Got Worse." "Blaine called me up one day and told me to sit down and think of all the things that had happened in our family. Well, a lot of the things in the story are things that happened to us -- only it was over days and days, instead of just one," Mom said. Now with a closeness between them perhaps unique among brothers and sisters, they still go in seperate directions, developing their special talents. Jared thinks, eats and sleeps sports. Becca and Noelle are glad to have him around to protect them when they need it, too. Noelle, the biggest of the triplets, has a real hunger for reading. Perhaps it came from her good appetite. Her parents she never could get enough to isaid when she was little. They thought that would make her the slowest, but she walked first. Becca is the real homemaker it seems. She likes cooking and playing with dolls. They all three are now mastering the art of piano-playin- g, and just playing in general. Ben likes trucks, and is learning how to ride a bike. And Heather is into playing house right now. Tiffany brings up the present rear by just tagging along complacently, doing what everyone else does. Puzzles : are the one big thing in her life right now. Dad says there's really not anything different about raising multiple kids. You just have more of the same age is all. Ed and Valerie are trying now to separate them as much as they can. They request different teachers for them at school. The principal agrees that's best. That became a problem one year, though, when the triplets all wanted the teacher that lived in their ward. How does Mom keep on top of it all? Getting herself up between 5 and 6 a.m. is a great survival trick she has learned. She likes to spend some time in front of a mirror and also on her knees before the day really gets going. Dad helps make it a whole lot easier, too. He says their real challenges have come in doing the simple things like going shopping. Handling six kids and a grocery cart was a dilemma. They solved that by wheeling an , extra car) around one for the groceriesi and one for the kids. Grandma has been a big help, too. They really achieved something the day they took all six to the Mall. But the challenges are not without their rewards. It must be nice on Mother's and Father's Day having six pair of little arms wrapped around your neck and six voices in uncued discord saying, "Happy Mother's Day, Mom," or "Happy Father's Day, Dad."
