Alpine

Lone Peak's student council welcomed the student body back to school with one of the cleverest attempts at school spirit I have seen in my two years as a student at Lone Peak High School.

Pleasant Grove police have arrested several people involved in a ring of residential and vehicle burglaries, credit card fraud, check forgeries, identity theft, forged document and drug crimes.

Alpine is considering raises for its mayor and city council members.

Signs to be modified -- In order to accommodate more business signs for the Highland Corner Business area by Wells Fargo Bank the present monument sign needed to be widened. The Highland Planning Commission unanimously approved a plan by Allied Sign Company to reconfigure and add two feet to the side of the sign so it would meet the 42 square foot limit in the sign ordinance.

North Utah County library patrons have responded positively since the inter-library agreement took affect July 1.

Lone Peak High School

While students are preparing for the new school year with new clothes and supplies, teachers and other employees at Lone Peak High School are getting ready by rappeling and crossing fields of land mines.

Cedar Hills watering schedule -- Effective Aug. 1, the Cedar Hills watering schedule was modified according to house addresses as follows: even addresses should only water Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and odd addresses should only water Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday.

The last day of the Alpine Days celebration began in the chill of early morning outside of city hall. Over 300 racers congregated and prepared for the upcoming 5K race.

As Alpine Days continue to roll on, the people of Alpine can look forward to the biggest events to take place this Saturday. There are some events prior to that, however.
