Fitness Center named home for Hansen Everest group Members of the media had a dance to learn first hand how it tlttodothetyrolean traverse done mountain climbers last week. Only they weren't on a mounta-in. Instead, they climbed a verti-o- l rope to the top of the Or em Fitness Center swimming pool, then slid across the pool on a hori-lont- al rope. Doug Hansen, Pleasant Grove, owner of Hansen Mountaineering and leader of the 1992 Utahns on Everest expedition to Mt. Everest, iirected the operation. The occasion was the naming of tie Orem Fitness Center as the official training center of expediti-on members. In a special ceremony conducted Thursday night, Orem city officials md the local mountaineers signed m official agreement designating Ike center for the group, who are preparing to climb Mt. Everest in 1992. Plaques and posters on the f inib were given to Orem Mayor Blaine Willes and Orem Recreation fetor Jerry Oritz during a cere-n- y near the Fitness Center's ppic-size- d swimming pool. owing the presentation, offi-M- b viewed a demonstration by local mountaineers that was inducted over the swimmingpool.

Utahns on Everest is now in-volved in amajorfundraisingeffort to develop the estimated $500,000 required for the 1992 expedition to the World's Highest Mountain. Hansen said donations are being sought from both individuals and the business community. 1990 census preparations for county begin in Lehi It's only 1988, but work on the 1990 census has already begun and in Utah County, it started in Lehi. Official census enumerator Karl-Micha- Sala was seen in se-lected Lehi neighborhoods Monday verifying addresses and preparing the pre-li- st which will be used later to verify census figures. The preliminary work will be used later as a quality control measure to verify 1990 census fig-ures. Sala says most people see the census taker coming and fear a barrage of questions, but in this first go around, he is only verifying addresses. Sala only asks names when there is no house number on a home. Also, he is only visiting portions of blocks in randomly-selecte- d neighborhoods, i - "Basically right now we are looking for the apartment thafs hard to see from the street or the widow who lives out back," Sala said. "The actual census will be done by mail." But the work he is performing now will make sure everyone gets a census form later. Sala will work his way through Utah County following computer-generate- d maps that have selected the neighborhoods to be included in the preliminary survey. It was the computer that as-signed Lehi the lowest number on the map and thus made it the first city in the county to be studied. When Sala isn't taking the cen-sus (which only happens every 10 years), he is an accredited genealo gist, who spends hours in the LDS . Church's genealogical files and makes annual trips to East Ger-many to do research for certain clients. In fact, he said he's planning a trip behind the Iron Curtain in October, when there will be a lull in the preliminary census work. Sala said previous census figure strongly in his other profession, and as a census taker, he is gaining insight into how those figures were gathered. "I feel it ties right into what I am doing," he said. In addition, census taking, while seasonal, takes some of the ups and downs out of his income as a professional genealogist. Sala also notes that 1990 will mark the 200th anniversary of the census, which was mandated in the Constitution and began in 1790. Hospital will be first to use new 763-- prefix Beginning Tuesday, Aug. 23, American Fork Hospital's phone number will change. In addition, all hospital departments will have direct dial phone numbers elimi-nating the need to have most calls channeled through the hospital phone operator. A bright blue insert listing all the new hospital phone numbers will be enclosed in next week's newspaper and Shopper's Guide. This card has been designed for tucking in the household phone book or taping up near the phone so that the hospital numbers are readily available in each home until the new phonebooks come out late in the Fall. "We are pleased to be able to offer community residents the convenience of direct dialing to American Fork Hospital," says AFH Administrator Craig Smed-ley- . "Calling the hospital will now be easier than ever before." In the past, direct-dia- l access to hospital departments has been impossible due to a shortage of available American Fork phone numbers. This problem is now being solved with U.S. West's addi-tion of a new phone number prefix for the American Fork area763. (See related story.) American Fork Hospital phone numbers are the first to use this new prefix. According to Smedley, heavy phone-cal- l loads have put extreme pressure on hospital phone opera-tors. Although each shift's PBX operator does an excellent job, one person can only funnel through a limited number of calls at one time. During peak phone hours, some AFH callers have been inconvenienced with busy signals, long series of rings, or being put on hold. With the hospital direct-dia- l numbers, these incon-veniences will be brought to a minimum. The new direct-dia- l phone numbers by department are: Emergency 763-355- 5 Patient Information .... 763-358- 0 Administration 763-350- 5 Behavioral Health Crisis ....756-435- 7 (756-HEL-Routine Service 763-353- 0 Business Office Credit & Collections 763-352- 6 Inpatient Accounts ..763-352- 2 Outpatient Accounts 763-352- 4 Community Education 763-354- 1 Dietary 763-355- 1 Discharge Planning .... 763-353- 8 Job Information 763-350- 8 Laboratory 763-354- 4 Physical Therapy 763-357- 7 Pharmacy 763-357- 5 Public Relations 763-350- 4 Same Day Surgery 763-359- 5 Volunteers 763-358- 1 Women's Center 756-300- 3 Labor and Delivery .. 763-360- 4 y 763-358- 9 If unable to locate department, please call 763-330- 0 Golf story erred In last week's Pleasant Grove Re-view, reference was made to the pro-posed development of two golf courses in Lindon. The printed information about the proposed Hollow Golf Course may have been misleading. Darrell Frampton who made the proposal for the Hollow Golf Course stated he did not ever intend to purchase Hollow Water. He has talked to the Hollow Water Board just to let them know what is happening. He did not contact them to purchase water. He indicated they do want to pur-chase the North Union canal stock that goes with the property as it is needed to develop the course. He wanted it clarified that his father-in-la-had owned the Hollow for a long time and he had admonished everyone to "Don't kill the quail." He fed the quail on his lawn. The proposed golf course would be named "Quail Hollow." N visitation slumped severely in the early 80's before starting to recover in 1984. Ticket sales for the cave tours are available on a first-com- e, first served basis from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. dally. Tickets are S3 for adults age 18 through 61, $2 for children six through IS and free of charge for children under age 6.

On that day National Parks across the country will not charge entrance fees.

Mike Hill. This is intended as an opportunity for those individuals and families who may not be able to pay the regular cave tour fees to come see one of the most beautiful caves in Utah." New prefix to be mainly for business American Fork is no longer a one-prefi- x town. Starting next week, a second telephone prefix will be added. The 763- - prefix will primarily be used for businesses, according to Steve Linton, a spokesman for U.S. West Communications (formerly Moun-tain Bell.) "You probably won't see resi-dences with that prefix," Linton said. "It will primarily be used for businesses that use Direct Inward Dialing." The new number will allow call-ers to bypass the switchboard and make calls directly to departments within a company. Linton stressed that the new number is local and does not repre-sent a long-distanc- e call -- - a com-mon misconception when new pre-fixes are added. Linton said the prefix has been available since July. "We've just been waiting for someone to use it." American Fork Hospital will be the first to use the 763- - prefix, when it goes into operation Tues-day, Aug. 23. (See related story.) As new businesses come into the community, local telephone users will see more numbers with the new prefix. |
