James Moss, who ran for the other House Lt that represents the Pleasant Grove area, was not challenged for his position. Moss has recently been named State Superintedent of Education, and a new represented will be app-ointed in his place by Gov. Norm Bangerter. In other local races, Pleasant grove-are- a voters joined the rest of Utah County in electing Malcolm Beck and Brent Morris to the Utah County Commission. Beck, an American Fork resident, captured 69 percent of the county vote to win by a wide margin. Area voters also followed the county in Republican Nina Reid as Utah County Recorder . the only other contested county office. County officials who won unc-ontested partisan races were Ronald Smith, county assessor; Steven Killpack, county attorney; Elwood Sundberg, county auditor; William Huish, county clerk; Dave Bateman, county sheriff; Clyde Naylor, county surveyor; and Stanley Walker, county treasurer. Utah County voters joined the other state voters in giving U.S. Sen. Jake Gam 77 percent of their vote. Gam won by a 73 percent margin throughout the state. Local voters gave similar support to U.S. Rep. Howard Nielson, as he captured 70 percent of the Utah County vote, and 67 percent of the vote in District 3, to win However, while the partisan races were predictable, races provided some of the closest results last week. In the local Alpine School Board race involving part of American Fork, Highland, Alpine and most of Lehi, Dr. Blake Evans unseated current board chairman Richard Sudweeks. Evans won 60 percent of the vote, with Sudweeks only win-ning a majority in his home com-munity of Highland. Another board member, Linda N. Campbell, was elected from Orem. The closest local race involved candidates for Justice of the Peace, precinct 1, where Lehi resident Keith Jenkins edged American Fork resident Vergil Peterson by 100 votes. Although Peterson captured a majority of American Fork-are- a votes, Lehi voters threw their support behind Jenkins - as did voters in Orem and Pleasant Grove, although not to the same extent. Jenkins will be the first to hold this full-tim- e justice post, which covers Orem and north Utah County. Local voters joined the county and state in approving Propositions 2 and 3 to change the Utah Con-stitution. Proposition 2 exempts farmers from paying property taxes on farm equipment and Proposition 3 rewrites the constitution's education article so it conforms with current practice. Local voters also followed the state and county in rejecting Proposition 1, which would have defined by statute the non-prof- it status for hospitals. With the proposal defeated, American Fork Hospital will now have to prove to the Utah County Commission that is a charitable institution or pay property taxes. And Pleasant Grove-are- a voters joined the county in rejecting Proposition A, which would have set up a committee to study reorganizing county government.

BYU professors write new health book Every weekday at about 11 a.m., four BYU science professors meet for their daily workout - a five-mi-le jog. Not long ago the conversation enroute began turning to the knowledge available, but often unheeded, about how to prevent such prevalent modern ailments as heart disease and cancer. The men soon realized that together they had the expertise to pull together scientific evidence addressing the most common and most misunderstood, issues in healthy and lifestyle. Each also had a personal motivation for making the information accessible - friends and relatives whose lives were cut short by preventable disease. The result is "Toward a Healthier Lifestyle," a 170 page book written by Gary M. Booth, Robert E. Seegmiller, S. Scott Zimmerman and Milton L. Lee. "In our association with colleagues and students, it became apparent to us that there's both misinformation and a lack of scientifically based information out there," says Seegmiller, professor of zoology.

American Battlecreek water tank to be drained Nov. 17 Frank Mills, Pleasant Grove Public Works Director, warned those residents who are on the Battlecreek water system that the city will be draining the Battlecreek watertank on Monday, Nov. 17. Mills explained that those on the system may notice a decrease in their water pressure until about midday on Wednesday, Nov. 19. The area on the Battlecreek system which will be involved is above 400 East to 1400 North and to 900 South. The city will shut off water to the tank on Monday morning. The tank will drain during the day Monday. When it is drained, the city crews will inspect it to see what it looks like inside and determine what needs to be done to the tank. It will then be disinfected and water will be turned back into the tank. Mills said it probably would take until at least noon on Wednesday for the tank to refill. He added that residents might notice the decrease in pressure as the tank drains but, on the other hand, they might not because of the time of year. He noted that the same amount of water will be going into the system. It will go through the chlorinator and into a small tank. The large one million gallon tank will be the only one drained. The Monson system will not be involved. Mills asked residents who have questions to call him at the City Hall at The city hopes to paint the inside the Battlecreek watertank about this same time next year.
