Show Review - Wednesday, March 14, 1984 - Page 12 Limcfoe deals with growth At the Lindon City Council meeting held March 7, the council adjourned to a redevelopment meeting. Meeting with them was Larry Denham, EuGene Jacobs and Cole Durham. They were there to explore the possibility of a sewer system to serve the industrial area on 200 South. They discussed the possibility of funding and getting started on this project. During the open session of the council meeting, they heard from Ross Chessman. Ross has been developing the 400 West 40 South blocks for a new subdivision. When he brings the council a bond guaranteeing improvements of curb, gutter and sidewalk, and as the check of the title and making sure that all requirements are satisifed, then those required will sign the final plat and give Mr. Cheesman a building permit. Mayor McMillan said they had hired a new police dispatcher. She is Shirley Orndorff. She has had five and one-hal- f years experience in this field in Kansas. A new animal control officer was also hired, Ron Brown, previously with Mountain Bell. Wendyl Jarvis noted that they appreciated him working with them and being willing to serve the community. William Johnansen reported on meeting with Vernon Christopherson about issuing him a variance to build a sixplex on his property. He had told Mr. Christopherson they would have to do a traffic study and the drainage must meet the approval of their engineer. Dean Blackhurst reported on a flood control meeting thai he and Wendyl Jarvis attended. He said that the meeting was informative for him as he had gone with the attitude that Lindon didn't have any danger from flooding. He learned there may be a flooding problem with the street going to the dump -- that it may need to be raised, also 2nd West. He said they encouraged them to help other cities that may have a worse flooding problem, to lend a helping hand. Leroy Jacklin reported that Fred Lee quit his job and they had hired two new employees, Dennis Kimball and Jamie Ward. He also mentioned that baseball tryouts would be on April 20. A clean-u- p week was discussed and they also would encourage everyone to clean out their ditches as much as possible to alleviate spring run-of- f flooding. Wendyl Jarvis talked about business licensing and it was decided to have the business owner pay for the year's license when he applied instead of going from January to January. It was also decided to extend the proposed addition to the city hall the full length of the building.

' The fourth, fifth and sixth grade students at Grovecrest Elementary were involved in an exciting event last Thursday with their annual spelling bee. When the contest started there were approximately 30 contestants. After an hour was spent eliminating contestants, the competition narrowed down to two boys, Adam Landefeld and Jeff Jacklin. Jeff finally misspelled the word "amateur." In order for Adam to win he had to spell that word correctly and also the word "discourage." Adam spelled both words correctly and was declared the winner of the Grovecrest Spelling Bee. Jeff won second place and Karen Jones was the third place winner. Adam is a sixth grader in Mr. Wathen's class, and Jeff and Karen are both fifth graders in Mr. Walker's class. School officials said they were proud of all the students who par-ticipated in the spelling bee. Adam will participate at the District Spelling Bee which will be held Thursday, March 15, at Northridge Elementary at 7 p.m. A special thanks to Mrs. Nelda Wadley who was gracious enough to conduct the spelling bee. It was a pleasure for the school to have her back with them for a few hours.
