" Workshops to help plan UTA roiuites At the request of four cities in northern Utah County, the Utah Transit Authority will conduct a public workshop in each commu-nity later this month. After receiving applications for annexation to the Utah Transit Authority from the cities of Ameri-can Fork, Pleasant Grove, Lehi, and Lindon, UTA's board of directors took public comment, then approved the requests. The approval came during the monthly meeting of the board, held Sept.20 in American Fork. At the time, board members set the terms and conditions for UTA service in the northern Utah County communities, including the imposi-tion of a 14 cent local option sales tax to help fund the system. If approved by city officials, the terms and conditions of annexation will be placed before voters in the four communities on the November General Election Ballot. In order for Utah Transit Au-thority to gather public ideas about bus service in the specific areas, public workshops have been sched-uled in each community. The public is invited to attend and help design bus service that would best meet the needs of resi-dents. These meetings will be held at the following times and places. Pleasant Grove: Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Pleas-ant Grove Library, basement meet-ing room, 30 E. Center. Lindon: Thursday, Oct. 12, in Lindon, also at 6:30 p.m. This meeting will be in the Lindon City Courtroom, downstairs, 383 W. Lakeview Drive, Lindon. American Fork: Wednesday, Oct. 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the down-stairs meeting room of the Ameri-can Fork Library, 64 S. 100 East, American Fork. Lehi: Thursday, Oct. 19, at 6:30 p.m. in the large meeting room of the Lehi Public Library, 51 N. Center.

The final work-shop will be held on Thursday, Oct. 26, at 6:30 p.m. in the Ameri-can Fork Senior Citizen Center, 54 E. Main Street, American Fork.

Fred Bear giving 'Apples1 for students Fred Bear, who knows no words, was still one of the attractions at the Pleasant Grove High'"" School Homecoming Assembly on Friday, in which the Fred Meyer's "Apples for the Students" program was introduced. The Fred Meyer Company has made a special purchase of Apple Computers and has developed a program by which schools in the area can receive these computers. Those who make purchases at any of the Fred Meyer stores can save their sales receipts and turn these back into the company for credit toward the computers. The Fred Meyer Company felt that this would be a good way ',0 make the computers available for the schools. To turn in the receipts, just contact the American Fork Fred Meyer store or your local school and they will explain the proce-dure. Everyone in the community is invited to save their receipts. It is a very good way of getting computers for the schools without having to spend school funds. i 4 ; t 1 l ..:. ' kit - " j . - I' .. J ' 1 I ' i f - ,. ' : ', t . I I ! ?

Main St., announced Monday that he would close the store after business on Saturday, Oct. 7. The old line store was opened by Dave's father, Vilace, fortyfive years ago. At that time it was part of the old Gambles chain. Dave said he thought the build-ing had been owned by Winfield Clark prior to that time and had been a grocery store. Dave noted that he had begun managing the store in 1967. From the beginning, Radmall Hardware has carried hardware items, books, wedding gifts and sold fish and game licenses. In 1980 Dave opened Alpine Book in American Fork. This store will remain open for business.
