Work to begin on pressurized irrigation Barbara Christiansen NORTH COUNTY STAFF Work on a main distribution line for American Fork's pressurized irrigation system could begin as soon as within one week. Project manager John Schiess said the City Council Coun-cil had awarded a contract for a major distribution line from the reservoir near Fox Hollow Golf Course along 200 East to 600 North. "We are doing preconstruction meetings," he said. "Work will begin as soon as we get the materials and the contracts signed." More than 100 American Fork residents turned out March 12 to an open house at Forbes Elementary Elemen-tary School to learn more about the system. Jay Brems, who heads up the city's secondary system, showed the attendees how the system would work on their lots. He showed a box similar to ones which the city would have installed just inside the property lines at each residence. It will extend about one foot below the ground level. The first area inside the box has a locking ball valve. If there is a concern with the water system, it could be turned off to prevent problems. There is another section of straight pipe, called . .

Lindquist will be turning 90 on Friday. Barbara Christiansen NORTH COUNTY STAFF Some say longevity has a genetic connection, con-nection, but American Fork resident Dale Lindquist may be able to attribute her 90 years to the fact that her mother died when she was only a year and a half. Not only has she lived 90 years, but she remains very active. She crochets an afghan for a gift every two weeks, makes hotpads and doilies, and can kick her legs higher than her head. She said she can do some of these things because of learning to work hard. She was raised by her Grandma Jensen Jen-sen and admired her for her hard work. "Boy, she was a worker," Lindquist said. "She kept her roses so pretty," Her grandmother set the example, which Lindquist ended up following. "I took care of my grandma when I was in the seventh grade," she said. "She was sick. She talked Danish. I couldn't speak Danish, but I got so I could understand what she was telling me." "I think I am so flexible today because be-cause I learned to work hard at an early age," she said. Her responsibilities were many. "I bathed her, fixed her meals, everything," every-thing," she said. "I learned to be kind to everybody and love everybody. You know 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.'" She also had duties both inside and outside the home. "I worked hard," she said. "I used to thin the beets, ride the horse, clean and cook the meals. I used to make doughnuts." dough-nuts." Despite being so busy, she found time to do some of the activities pursued by others her age. "I liked to lie on my back and pick animals and other things out of the clouds," she said. She did miss having a mom, too. "I was a sad little girl," she said. "If I just had a mother who would just hold me on her lap and love me. Grandma did, but it wasn't the same." She has other early memories of her grandmother. "She took me to Relief Society when I was just little," she said. Lindquist has memories of sitting on tiny wooden chairs at the church. When those chairs were to be discarded, she brought three home and had them fixed up. One remains re-mains in her living room today. Lindquist was raised in Goshen and attended Pay son High, where she was a cheerleader. Those high kicks have stayed with her today. See LONGEVITY, Page 2 l xrwmtt-W nnfftsVf sSBtEL.
