"Run Off" continued from Page 1 Sandbags are available to residents at no charge for use in protecting property. Volun-teer groups will be organized as needed to fill additional sandbags. About 500 sandbags are already prepared. Volunteers are also need-ed to clean all storm water grates and collection areas. All of the storm water grates along the streets should be cleaned with a fork or rake. Do not lift the grate and clean inside the collection box. City crews will take care of that. The fourth project is the staging of the pipe along Grove Creek Drive from Dalton Av-enue to the Murdock Canal. Parents should not let children play in or around the pipe as it could be extremely dangerous. The pipe is only to safely move water as a flood control device. The city will not be liable for any damages arising out of individuals trespassing into, around, or on the pipe. Residents should look around their home for po-tential problems, especially those who reside near irriga-tion ditches and canals. Steps should be taken to protect your home just in case runoff flow amounts were to rise unex-pectedly.

A.- -, - - " l- - - Security cameras posted in the buildings elevator recorded the two heading to the top floors observation tower slightly be-fore noon. Both took time dur-ing the elevator ride to high five each other and take bites of a yellowish cream filled cake. They then wiped their hands on their pants and deposited the wrappers into a trash receptacle. There is no video of the couple from that point to the time they landed onto the northwest cor-ner of North Temple and State Street, signed a few autographs and took off in a waiting mud colored 74 Ford Pinto. The people, not the Twinkies. Wrong! It was an olive green Ford Pinto with wood paneling, AM-F- radio and a bumper sticker for the Pioneer League favorite, the Pocatello Boring's baseball team. "There is a security station at the entrance and individuals going in or out have to check in. I don't know how this couple made it to the top or even made it in the building, unless they bribed someone" mumbled the chief security guard as he swal-lowed his third fruit pie in as many minutes from a stash in a plain brown paper bag. "The couple was generous, however, they got my favorite right: y, for the record." Yeah, we knew that. Police say what the couple did was a complete disregard for the safety of others both in the building and on the street and sidewalk below. "I don't know the science of falling and stuff, but I think that even fresh and creamy Twinkies can maim and mangle at like a bil-lion miles an hour," mumbled Officer Ted with his mouth full. "And people jumping off a building could have been bad, too," he added. "Cheney" continued on Page 6 by Davidson Cheney Local police admit to still being in the dark concerning the complete anonymity of two people who jumped off a downtown Salt Lake City high-ris- e months ago and parachuted down to a Quickie-Ma- rt parking lot. Police state that there isn't much more in-formation available other than the fact that the jumpers were nicely dressed, smelled good, and said "please" and "thank you" as they pealed out of the said parking lot into ob-scurity, leaving behind only a partly eaten Hostess sponge cake and onlookers waving good-by- e. Rotary Club Looks to Create PG Chapter a global network of business, professional and community leaders who volunteer their time and talents to serve their communities with local and in-ternational projects. "We can multiply ourselves through Rotary," said Glen Hunsaker. Local club leaders determine the projects that their mem-bers participate in. Past proj-ects include school donations, international building and vac-cination education. "I see the need in the world," said Jack Larkin of Larkin Tires. "I don't have the time or the funds to make a dif-ference. But with Rotary (and their network), I can do some good," he added. Rotary Club membership dues will be around $70 to $90 a quarter. "We are hoping for 30 to 35 people to effectively run the Pleasant Grove Chapter Ro-tary Club," said Hunsaker. The club will meet each Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. in the basement of the Pleasant Grove Library. Rotary Club began in 1905 in Chicago and spread interna-tionally in 1911. The first club in Utah was established in 1911. With service to their community and those in need as their mis-sion, Rotarians donate their time and talents where they are most needed, making a positive im-pact in both the local community and the world. For more information or to join the Pleasant Grove Rotary club, please contact Glen Hunsa-ker at or by email at ghunsaker555 gmail.com. Rotary International, the world's first service club orga-nization, is hoping to extend and create a Pleasant Grove chapter. Local business profes-sionals and humanitarians unit-ed Tuesday afternoon with the challenge of creating the newest chapter in the world. Rotary Club needs 20 members to cre-ate the club. They would like to start applying for chapter status by mid-Ma- y. Several current members of the American Fork chapter were interested in chartering a club specific to Pleasant Grove where many reside. "I love Pleasant Grove," said Jason Smith of Magnum Manufactur-ing Corporation. "I'd really like to see Rotary in my own city."
