He J d that they also took .n.o accoun ritv's interest, and what kind ol W and finances would be lime l'et.. available- In relerence to the scouts that have a special interest in the park's future. Mayor Holdaway read a letter from Allen Hilton, an assistant to The Order of The Arrow, Tim-panog- District. Hilton said that the park is precious to the scouting community, and has a special meaning to not only the scouts, but also to families in the area. He said that he has observed both groups not objecting to the undergrowth, but utilizing i( for their activities. Hilton furl her observed that in all the years of use in (he park, that he had, "never found evidence of illegal activities." He said, "If lorn up, the park can'l be used for the scouting activities as it has." Hoglund said that he had con-ferred with local long-tim- e scouter Hob Anderson, and had received input from him as to how the park could maintain its rustic nature, and yet become more accessible. He said that many of the ideas in the con-ceptual drawing came from the scouting people that had used the park for their activities for years. In the presentation by Christensen and Huish, they both said that their main intent was to keep the park semi-rusti- They said that if the right underbrush was cleared away, that beautiful, private campsites could be provided, with a large gathering area that could be developed. They said that restrooms are of an immediate need, and that other, long range projects could be com-pleted at a rate of one per year for the next 10 to 15 years. Huish recommended that the city take advantage of volunteers to clear underbrush, and more. He said that both he and Christensen would help with the project, if needed. Scouter Bob Anderson addressed the council and said that the park has been invaluable as a training camp for local scouters. He said that it has helped to build family unity, and has contributed to a positive atmosphere in the community. He reported that 52 plants have been identified in the park, and that that many in that small of an area is quite unusual. He commented that he is all for the improvement of the park, and that he and his scouting collegues would be happy to help with the project. Cecile Monson, a neighborhood representative on the committee, said that she is pleased with the interest. She said that she never wanted the park destroyed, just taken better care of. She said that the problems that she has observed in the park has never included the scouts, and they have been careful to take care of the area. She said that comments to her have been, "Ten to one to not quit, and to see that something is done with the park." The Mayor suggested that the committee continue to function, and start organizeing actual work with scout troop and colunteers. He asked that the clean-u- p work begin as soon as possible, and that the restroom facilities and access to fresh water be investigated and started. " Hoglund said that he thinks that the volunteers will be extremely important, but that it would be necessary that professionals such as himself, Deon and the architects would need to head the project up. The Mayor agreed. Councilman Dale Warburton observed that the boundaries and surveying needs to be the first consideration, and that it needs to be done as soon as possible. He said that they need to determine if they will be able to hook into the sewer, and where. He said that the city needs to be committed to the project, and that it should go forward with both short and long term projects for the park. The council agreed with his ob-servation, and asked Hoglund to proceed. Lindon Fair Shelly for their help with the con-cessions and to Douglas Bezzant for the use of his sound system. It is through the efforts of many people that acommunity can enjoy an activity like this and the Lindon Fair committee hopes that this will be an event of which all "Lin-donite-will be proud. favorite. Children up to age IK will participate in events such as the boat race, the candy dig, the ribbon pull and the greased pig chase. Lindon Fair booklets are being distributed to each home in Lindon by Glade and Leone Shumway. The booklets contain all of the details of the fair, plus one set of tickets. The tickets are chances on prizes that will be drawn for Friday night at the variety show and immediately following the arena events Satur-day. Nearly 50 prizes have been donated by local merchants or provided by Lindon City. They include everything from free bowling and free dinners, to a Schwinn bicycle. The fair booklets are free to each home, thanks to the generous support of local businesses and do contain several valuable coupons. Special thanks should also be extended to Colleen McMillan and Paul and Dalene Collins for their work in the selection of the Lindon Jr. Miss and Rodeo Royalty.

BySIIAKONMOKKKY f The bad news is the gates to the 'j, Adventure and Learning Park are I locked and City Engineer Clyde IjNaylor says they are going to stay locked until Utah County and the Slate of Utah come to an agreement on who maintains and pays for the park. i The good news is that agreement Mid be signed as early as Wedn-esday, July 29, and the park will ,1 probably be open again on Monday, 3, according to Ulah County Commissioner Malcolm Beck. "The county and the state still haven't come to an agreement on the park. That's the situation," Naylor in a phone interview Monday. V "H's just closed until they come to U1 some kind of agreement. That's something that's been in negotiation w the last year or so. It hasn't been resolved." Beck confirmed that the agreement has been in the works for more than two months and held up just recently because a couple of questions have remained unan-swered. "For one, if we're going to assume responsibility for maintenance of the park, we ought to own the property," said Beck. "If we take over operation it will probably be forever." And Beck says it is more than probable that the county will vote to keep the park under its jurisdiction. As an agenda item, the park comes before the commission Wednesday during their regular meeting at 10 a.m. in the county building. Beck expects "When the vole comes down, it'll be two to one in favor. Then it would be open Mon-day.- " Naylor says although the park has been open sporadically through the summer, that has been because a stale employee assigned to the park opened it. "The difference now is that state employee that used to run it has retired, so it's basically just closed." Beck explains that the county was reluctant to send in its park em-ployees until the agreement was signed and officially accepted. "We've been waiting for an an-swer back to a couple of questions. Regardless of the answers, I think we'll take it to a vote this meeting or Monday," noted Beck. Naylor explains that the county only took over the park on a trial basis last year to determine costs. Nothing permanent had been decided at that time. How much would it cost the county ft ir ir --k r --A --to --A FOORES Sparkling Clean New Cup First Time Every Time!
