He will replace Neil Christensen who has accepted the position of vacational director with the Alpine School District. Delaney has been the assistant principal at Pleasant Grove High for the past year. Prior to that, he was the assistant principal at Orem High School for seven years. He also taught in the history department at Orem High and coached track and cross country for 11 years. The new principal received his education from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor of Science degree in History and Physical Education.

It authorizes the city to implement im-plement the system whenever it is decided to go ahead. When that happens hap-pens it will increase local telephone bills by 50 cents a month until the system is implemented and then will be reduced to about 38 cents. A major ma-jor condition to the approval was that Orem City be the dispatch center of the "enhanced" 911 emergency system, E911. "We have dispatchers who are trained to instruct citizens through an emergency crisis and to take care of all city calls as well. If we had to give up that and go to point zero with another dispatch service somewhere else, we would be concerned even though E911 is a good program," said Ted Peacock, director of the Department Depart-ment of Public Safety. He recommended recom-mended the E911 system only If Orem will be an answering point. "Other-wisej "Other-wisej stay as we are."

Specialist degree from Brighamn Young University. '- Delaney believes that the 'ideal principal' must have "a genuine understanding and interest in people; he should have enthusiasm for his job and a sincere interest in the success of his staff; he should also be a good communicator and listener. I will be as enthusiastic the last day on the job as the first," he concludes.

"I don't want us to be viewed as obstructionists, but I think we should pursue being the public safety answering point (PSAP) or dispatch center," said Mayor S. Blaine Willes. He said Orem is a logical PSAP for north parts of the county and Provo for the south. He said he favors the plan. Lehi and Alpine already have agreed to wait on funding the plan. According to Peacock, police dispatchers handle about 3,000 calls a month. About 20 of those would have been better served if E911 were in operation. In other words, there were 20 calls where police did not receive all the information at the time to respond res-pond effectively. With E911, the inf or-mation or-mation is on the screen even if the caller is unable to respond as in the case of a heart attack or other crisis. Council member Keith Hunt said it is a very expensive benefit for those 20. "But I guess if you are one of the 20 it would be worth it." Henshaw was a teacher and athletic director at Lehi High School for seven years. Since 1984, he has been the assistant principal at Provo High School.

In addition, non-residents will be assessed assess-ed $5 when they sign up next spring which will be kept in a separate fund until it is decided where it should go. The current philosophy regarding recreation fees is to charge a fairly equitable amount for each program to coyer the total costs of all the programs. pro-grams. Some programs paid less than their own actual costs and some programs pro-grams paid more. This method was questioned by Jan Clark who researched resear-ched costs and found the fee charged for coach-pitch T-ball, for instance, was a lot more than she thought it ought to be. Jerry Ortiz, city recreation director, direc-tor, explained, "Direct cost for T-ball is just under $6, and indirect costs are just under $10. The current fee is $20." He said if each program were to pay strictly its own way, some programs would be less but many would go up, especially girls softball, basketball, and mens and coed softball. He said that girls softball program will go to slow-pitch this year and will cost less since slow-pitch uses only one official. There also will be a fast pitch program. Shauna Summers was not impressed im-pressed with the explanation. "You haven't answered any of our questions," ques-tions," she complained. She said her research showed an excess of $11,600 in the T-ball program and about . $13,000 in another program. "Where, exactly, did this go?" She added, "We don't want taxpayers to subsidize the programs, we just want self-sufficient age 4 and 12 surgery helped her heart become an effective three- ; chamber organ. Last February, doctors doc-tors discovered that muscle was building up on Angela's single ventricle, ventri-cle, making another surgery necessary. 1 "We were told that Angela would probably need a pacemaker, and they had the pacemaker team ready in surgery," Angela's mother, Pamela Peterson said. "But she didn't miss a beat. We were absolutely floating when we learned Angela would not need the pacemaker. It gave us so much confidence knowing she was in a hospital devoted solely to children." The Children's Miracle Network Wednesday cost-efficient programs." Ortiz responded that there actually actual-ly was $10,000 unaccounted for in the T-ball program between revenue and bottom line expenses. "That amount of money went to indirect costs, the program chairman," he said. He explained ex-plained that the program chairman spends about 180 hours with self determining deter-mining groups and one group requires a lot more time than others to administrate. ad-ministrate. All revenues, he explained, explain-ed, are kept in a general fund. Mrs. Clark, instigator of the fee issue, said she is "thrilled" to know more detailed records and accounting will be kept for the next year. But she asked, "Do we need to pay $17.45 per hour for the program chairman. Can administrative costs be cut? Is there duplication? This is something the council should decide." Joyce Johnson, council member, explained, "We dont set the salary. That is set by the Hay System adopted several years ago by Orem City."

In just five years, this telethon has raised more than $110 million for children. In 1987, $250,000 was raised locally to benefit Primary Children's. Primary Children's Medical center provides care to the Inter-mountain Inter-mountain region's most critically ill and injured pediatric patients, treating children for problems including in-cluding cancer, birth defects, accidents, ac-cidents, emotional problems and muscular and cardiovascular diseases.

The crosses are erected annually by the Veterans organizations. the Orem City programs, council members had opposing views. If a fee is charged council member Kelvin Clayton says, "There's definitely a message going out from Orem I don't want going out. I'm looking at it from a purely economic standpoint. We should let people know Orem is friendly and wants their business." Clayton says non-residents spend money while they are here and that brings tax revenue. Council member Norman Woodhouse, however, said residents already have paid taxes and should not be jeoparidzed by non-taxpaying non-taxpaying participants. Clayton voted against both the suggested $5 fee for non-residents and also the more detailed accounting procedure. "I'd like to see our program pro-gram chairman spending more time being innovative and running a good program. We're wasting our time with indirect costs." He was supported in these views by council member Lucille Steel. "We can be too pickey if we are asking our program chairman to account for every 15 minutes on this program and Charles Graham, Fawn Otto, Jennifer Jen-nifer Adams, Erik Crawford, and Anthony An-thony Beutler.

More than 100 television, recording, movie and sports personalities per-sonalities will appear on the 1988 telethon.

Dave DeCoursey, a non-resident who owns a lot of property in Orem as a developer, said he was at the meeting for another purpose but just wanted to say that from his experience ex-perience such detail in accounting could end up costing the city more than they might save. "Simplify and just be honest in your dealings," he advised. After a motion by council member Paul Washburn to keep the $5 non-resident fees in a separate fund until it can be determined where it should go ("for instance it could go the Public Works for what they do for the program)", Steel then commented, com-mented, "Yes, and it may go to the recreation department for accounting costs." While nobody appeared fully satisfied with the motions or the discussions, all agreed the whole thing will be back next spring as a budget issue and the accounting and time records kept this year should make the choices easier. At least the questions will be answered. Linda Campbell, member of the Alpine School District Board of Education, also will give remarks.
