Today she is serving up roast beef sandwiches and other items to guests from American Fork at the new Arby's at The Meadows. She was recently named Business Person Per-son of the Year by the American Fork Chamber of Commerce. Dozier said the reason she was Is because she was active in all chamber events during the year. Chamber Director Debby Lauret said there was much more involved. She said the manager of the new Arby's Ar-by's store at The Meadows was a good choice for the award. "Tammy is an amazing leader with a generous heart," she said. "She has been one of the chief sponsors spon-sors for so many chamber events. She has great leadership abilities and has offered of-fered a great public-private partnership. She and Arby's have been very supportive support-ive of chamber events and luncheons. They offer coupons for events and do things like provide bananas for the 5K race. She is a good person doing good things." Dozier said what she does is only natural. "It is an honor, but it is just something I do," Dozier said. "When you are in business that is how you build business." "I look at that as my job," she said. "That is how you build people." She considers building people every bit as much of her job as putting roast beef on the table. "I have always been a firm believer that it is not me as the manager that makes a business successful; it is the people I surround myself with," she said. 3 n n n 0QS ' , ' , . 'mmm I'll if T i . 1 . "P 4i ' V: ' - ' A ; . , & " t ' '" 'r( MARIO RUIZNorth County Tammy Dozier was awarded Business Person of the Year by the American Fork Chamber of Commerce. Dozier is the general manager at Arby's in American Fork. "One individual can't do it; it takes a team effort." In the 15 to 20 years she has been working, she has developed a philosophy that focuses on teamwork and finding the strengths of her employees, rather than on their weaknesses. "I learned really fast that people are the ones that are going to make things happen for you," she said. "They are the ones interacting with the customers." She credits two who served as directors direc-tors of operations for Arby's for being good examples. "Jeff Linville and Karen Flannery taught me a lot about people," she said. "I had the beliefs already, but they helped me put them into practice." "I am just amazed at the talent above me and the people around me," she said. At the store, Dozier teaches classes called "Development From Within," or DFW. They teach items including professional profes-sional presence, schedule writing, team manager training, people skills and effective ef-fective leadership. "We try to grow our people from the inside up," she said. "I work to find people's strengths and develop those. I try to build on the positive instead of look at the negative. People still need to be held accountable, but I try to find what motivates people." She said that has lead to a low turnover turn-over rate. "People feel they are cared about," she said. When she's not motivating others, she spends time with her husband and loves to take their "three furry children" for a run. She enjoys doing home repairs and remodeling, re-modeling, watching movies and reading.

Federal Consumer Protection has confirmed the fuel saving described in this advertisement. Device may increase gas mileage by 22 Boston - National Fuelsaver Corp. has developed a low cost automotive accessory called the Platinum Gas Saver which is guaranteed to increase gas mileage by 22 while meeting all emission standards. With a simple connection to a vacuum line, the Gas Saver adds microscopic amounts of platinum to the air and fuel entering the engine. Since platinum allows non-burning fuel to burn, the Gas Saver's platinum increases the percentage of fuel burning inside the engine from 68 of each gallon to 90 of each gallon, a 22 increase. Since unburnt fuel leaving an engine is pollution, this 22 of each gallon normally burns when it reaches the platinum of the catalytic converter. However, the converter's platinum burns this fuel in the tail-pipe, where the heat and energy produced from this fuel cannot be harnessed to drive your vehicle. But when the Gas Saver allows the air-fuel mixture to carry the platinum into the engine, 22 more of each gallon burns inside the engine so that 22 fewer gallons are required to drive the same distance. After a five year study, the government concluded: "Independent testing shows greater fuel savings with the Gas Saver than the 22 claimed by the developer." In addition to the fuel savings, the Gas Saver has received patents for cleaning out the carbon and raising octane, making the higher cost fuel unnecessary for most vehicles. Joe Robinson, the developer, commented: "Since the government concluded its study, we have sold a half million Gas Savers. To our surprise, more people buy the Gas Saver because it extends engine life by cleaning out the carbon than buy it to increase gas mileage or to raise octane."
