Show 6 TIMPANOGOS TIMES May4,20ii "Cheney" continued from Page 3 From top to bottom, the building measures 420 feet tall. BASE jump experts, who coincidentally were on hand to applaud and cheer, said it was a safe distance to jump and deploy a chute from. Experts, seated at the hostess table in the parking lot next to the rented port-a-potti- say that given the office building's height, a BASE jumper would have about two seconds to pull their chute to land safely. These experts have also confirmed that the package of golden and deli-cious Twinkies was most likely opened shortly after the chute pull unless the Twinkies were being eaten pre-jum- p and just fell on their own, an unlikely supposition and a silly one, too. Who would waste a good Twinkie? Nothing, including g forces or gravity or a grandchild can rip a Twinkie out of mine or my wife's hands and live to en-joy nap time. After photos of the jumpers were released, Weight Watch-ers came up with a new "free to jump" menu taking advantage of the free publicity as it was apparent that both jumpers were a bit pudgy. Okay, that's enough. Make fun of our car, ignore our obvi-ous ploy for a Hostess sponsor-ship, but don't call us pudgy. We don't want a year of free weight watchers meals. We want ho-ho- 's and ding-dong- s. Yes, my wife and I are probably sorry, and yes, people may have had to deal with a little sponge cake on the brain. But in my own defense, I need-ed a little quality time with the wife and it's been hard to come up with a decent activity since the dairy freeze went under. We never would have made the at-tempt if they weren't continu-ally pushing the whole togeth-erness issue and sponsorship from our favorite dessert maker would certainly help us make ends meet. Our next outing, I promise, will be a bit more tame. We will be standing in line for sev-en hours in the rain for David Archuletta tickets, and we hope to win sponsorship from Quickie-M-art and Cheney's Chase Lounge. nfflff Ideas for New Pleasant Grove Civic Center Discussed the city without counting and State Road 89, the council and architects want to do it the best way possible. In other matters, City Ad-ministrator Scott Darrington and City Finance Officer Dean Lundell discussed the proposed budget for the next fiscal year. Scott said they are con-sidering several programs and seeking to maximize the city services which could bring large savings to the city. The council seemed happy with the plans that were mentioned. Ideas for the planned Pleasant Grove Civic Center were discussed at length during the city council work session held April 26. A representative of VCBO, which is helping Pleasant Grove with the plans for the civic center, was on hand to show the council the possible arrangements of the planned construction. Council members gave their input and discussed the various possibilities. Miniature buildings could be moved around on the dis-play so that council members would get an idea of how the area would look when the proj-ect is finished. The proposal is to use the two city blocks from Center Street to 200 South and from Main St. To 200 East. The plan eliminates 100 South from Main St. to 200 East. An un-derpass is planned at the area of 100 East and 100 South so foot traffic could avoid crossing 100 East where traffic is usually quite heavy. Council members listened to ideas from VCBO and inter jected their own conceptions of how the project could best be done. The entire plan is to include a city hall, police de-partment, fire department, li-brary and fine arts building in the project. The public works department would stay where it is as would the Senior Citizen building. The construction will be done in phases as the city can-not do them all at once. The city hall will be the first build-ing constructed, it was noted. The city council wants to pre-serve what is now on Main St. and hopes to extend it. Council members have stressed that they want to have lots of green space and open areas in the project. They also mentioned the need for a se-cure place for police vehicles. Underground parking was also discussed, along with the height of city buildings. The object of the meeting was to give the architect some idea of what the city desires, where they want buildings to be located, etc. Since 100 East is about the busiest street within "911" continuedfrom Page 1 from Saratoga Springs, end-ing at the Cracker Barrel in Springville. The 101.7 mile trip was especially difficult without rs to motivate and push her on, but she fin-ished in 10 hours and knew she could go for the big one. The PUT begins May 9 in Newark, New Jersey with an NYPD escort to Ground Zero for a special memorial, then back to Newark where the actual tour starts. The 80-mi- le round trip into New York will make the first day a 120 mile ride. An estimated 1,200 rid-ers, from all areas of law en-forcement, are expected to ride in this year's event, cov-ering the 300 miles in four days. Sherd's group has opted to take the challengers course which has less riders but more hills to traverse. There are eight going from Utah, but Sherri hopes to bring her experience home to encourage others to partici-pate. Besides selling the challenge coins as a fund raiser, there have been sev-eral generous sponsors who have donated her required contribution and much of the expenses for the trip. She feels indebted to these people and will share their names after returning from the tour. Good luck Sherri. We look forward to your re-port.
