Show 'iL'HN 'c- b(jgrb irdery. inc. r t,W8i' Vol. 8, No. 23 Wednesday, June 11, 198fi 50 cents a single copy High tech building proposed for Lindon The Lindon Redevelopment Agency made several interesting proposals to the Lindon City Council Wednesday night. ' Gene Jacobs, director of the Redevelopment Agency, introduced Kelvin Love who reported that his company proposes to build a high tech building in Lindon. The building would be located near Locust Avenue and 400 North, The company is also in the process of purchasing (he Verl Christiansen orchard where homes will be built. Love said the high tech building would be a three story structure containing 33,000 square feet. It will use passive solar energy. The building will be very attractive and fine structurally. The area around the building will be landscaped. Love said that at a later time an additional 20,000 square feel will be added. Several offices will be located in ; the building. It is being proposed by the Mackinnon Development and Management Co. The company would like to begin work on the structure in the near future. Negotiations- are still under way ' for purchase of some of the property. If a problem develops they have an alternate site available. The city council approved the proposal in principle. The owners will meet with the combined Lindon City Council and Planning Com-mission to finalize details next week. The council also approved in principle a proposal to construct a Storehouse Market bordering on Main Street, State Road and Center Street. Other Storehouse Markets are located throughout Utah County. This .will be the first one built north of Orem. The store will be located on a triangular piece of land. The store owners would like to construct a branch bank on the south end of the State St. side of the property. They are trying to interest a bank into taking the site at the present time. This will be the largest of the Storehouse Markets. They store owners would like to have a traffic signal installed at the intersection of Center and State Road as the store will generate a good deal of traffic and easy access on and off of State Road would be helpful. The company also needs good police protection. In order for the store to be built to the needed specifications, the city would need to vaca te about 15 feet of city property on the Center St. side of the building. This would reduce the possible width of tree street from 66 to 51 feet. There would still be a three foot planter strip on the north side of the building and it would still not reach to the area which is now paved). The council expressed some concern about the vacating of the areabut determined that a 5i0-fo-road would still be adequate. Parking will be on the south side of the building, the loading docks wi.'l be on the west, and employee parking will be on the east side of the ' structure. The entire perimeter of the building would be landscaped and visibility at the . intersection of Center and Main St. would be adequate. As with the high tech building proposal, the council and Planning Commission will look into the details of the proposal at a meeting next week. Storehouse Markets would like to have the building finished and ready for use before the Thanksgiving holidays. : ; ; ; few ---A' c-- ...

Carter, retired Pleasant Grove businessman, will serve as the Gran'1 Marshall of the Strawberry Days Parades on Thursday, June 19, at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.- - ...pro was selected from several nominees by the Strawberry-Day- s Committee for past service ren-dered to the community. Orval was born in Glenwood, Sevier County, on August 19, 1904, to LeRoy and Annie Marie Larsen Carter. He is the oldest of 11 children. Experience became his best teacher, but the most memorable lessons were taught by his father - that of being thrifty, thorough and frugal. At a very early age, work was his way of life. He found a job with the Utah and Idaho Railroad, but as often as possible he returned to Orem to visit a sister and friends. He married Caroline Shoell on Oct. 10, 1924 in Provo. Twelve children graced their union - Dale, Mrs. Max (Melba) Houlz, Leo, Earl, Leonard, Boyd (deceased), Leland, Gene, Mrs. Marvin (Joyce) Smith, LeRoy, Mrs. Paul (Carolyn) Peacock, all of Pleasant Grove, and For economic reasons - 12 children did not seem to come cheaper by the dozen - the need for more money to support a large family caused him to establish a service station business. His expert talents have not been entirely self centered, for he has contributed immensely in the building and planning of our community. His projects are many, including the bowery at the swimming pool park and the fine Sportsman and Lions Center. Those who have worked beside him know of his energy and dependability. He served on the board of directors of the Pleasant Grove Chamber of Commerce and is now a lifetime member. He is an avid sportsman who loves to hunt and fish. After the death of his beloved Caroline, he met and married Violet O. Cluff. Many organizations have moved forward with great zeal in our community. Orval Carter stands as a credit to the Sportsman Club, the Lions Club, the Executive Scouting Committee and the Pleasant Grove Chamber of Commerce. Orval Carter Gary of Salt Lake City. They lived in Bingham, Keetley, McCormick and Lindon, where farming and peddling produce began his business activities. He later moved, to Pleasant Grove where he made a livelihood trucking coal, along with hay and fruit. dredge coming to Utah Lake has illustrious history The dredge coming to Utah Lake and American Fork Boat Harbor was originally part of this ship, the Chester Harding. The dredge will be mounted on a barge when it goes to work clearing out bottom of Utah Lake. Tj65 member crew called her jiof the Fleet."

According to Shoreline Development, none of this would have been possible without the "tireless efforts of Bill Arseneau," the director of Utah's Division of Surplus Property. Arseneau, who has had the sup-port of American Fork and the Utah County commissioners also had the assistance of Clyde Naylor, county engineer. Naylor, an advocate of Surplus Property, met personally with Gov. Norman H. Bangerter to gain support in acquiring the dredge. Sen. Jake Garn, was instrumental in wording the legislation which declared the Harding as surplus, making the dredge available to the state for flood control. Concerns have been voiced by the dredging industry that the arrival of the Harding's hopper dredges could take away as much as $400 million worth of dredging work from its members. In a letter to Robert K. Dawson, assistant secretary of the Army, Garn called the allegations "wild" and "with no substantiation in fact." Because the state has allocated approximately $100 million to pump water from the great Salt Lake, Garn emphasized "that the state cannot and will not use state funds to purchase a dredge or dredging services on its waterways." The county's dredging project has met an obstacle as Rep. James Hansen, announced in-troduction of a bill to create a waterfowl refuge around Utah Lake. A federal refuge would prohibit dredging of the lake with the ex-ception of the northern shore. It would also bar the recreational and other developments around the lake that county officials have been working on for years. The Utah Lake Study Committee is preparing a resolution concerning the proposed waterfowl refuge. Although acquisition of the dredge has been secured, the arrival time is still uncertain. Salvaging the hopper dredge is the next step. The dredge parts should be in Utah this sum-mer. The hopper dredge can be com-pared to a giant vacuum cleaner. The dredge has pipes called dragarms which extend from each side of the hull. Drags at the end of each dragarm are lowered to the bottom and slowly pulled over the area to be dredged. Pumps create suction in the dragarm and the dirt is drawn up through the arms and deposited in hoppers in the mid-sectio- n of the dredge. When the hoppers are full, the dredge pumps the load ashore to a place of disposal or the material is dumped through bottom doors in deep water. Survey vessels fitted with elec-tronic equipment make underwater readings to determine when the channel has reached the desired depth. There are plans for dredging at the mouth of the Jordan River, the American Fork River and the Provo River where an underwater basins 50 feet deep will be dug to help control debris. Dirt taken from the lake floor will be emptied on shore and the possibilities for its use includes; enlarging the Provo airport, raising surrounding farmland, diking Goshen Bay and increasing recreation areas on and near the lake. a baby diving bird. The bird had even gone through the pumps but was still alive and okay. In 1976, in the San Francisco harbor, the Harding was rammed by the freighter Don Carlos. The freighter left a 15 by 20 foot hole in the Harding. Luckily the Harding wasn't loaded or most of the crew would have drowned. They couldn't have gotten out of their rooms. In 1981, the Harding was placed on standby and hasn't left her mooring since that time. Shoreline Development has contracted with American Fork and Utah County to obtain a dredge which will be removed from the Harding, disassembled and tran-sported to Utah. It will then be mounted on a barge in Utah Lake. The dredge is equipped with 1,000 horsepower diesel engines which enables the machine to move 30 cubic yards of dirt a minute; the equivalent of 125 dump truck loads per hour. After the dredge is removed from the ship, the ship might be dismantled and sold as scrap metal. According to Hanks, there are efforts being made to keep the hull in service and perhaps use the Harding as a fishing vessel. "The people of Utah are grateful to the Corps for making the dredge available and extend a special thank you to the men who served on the Chester Harding. There will be an effort made to salvage many of the parts from the Harding and place them in a museum as a memorial to her crew and officers," said Hanks. Shoreline Development, which has an agreement with American Fork and Utah County to operate the dredge, inspected the ship, made a parts list and took inventory last February. The dredge motor measures 12 feet long, four feet wide and eight feet high. A piston measures 16 inches across. The engine and pump together weigh 30 tons. Shoreline has also been in-strumental in helping the county obtain a Terex Titan 25 yard dump truck through Surplus Properties. A "land dredge" has also been made available that is capable of digging a trench 20 feet wide, 12 feet deep and 600 feet long a day. The "land |
