Shirley "Boots" Johnson has been voted by her patients at the American Amer-ican Fork Hospital as the "Nurse Who Made a Difference." When Sue Fleming, assistant administrator over nursing at the hospital, announced Johnson's award at a traditional luncheon celebratingNationalNursesWeek, Johnson was taking care of her mother in Colorado. She will be honored at the nurses staff meeting June 7. When a nurse is considered a friend, it is a compliment; and Johnson is not only thought of as a good friend, but patients think of her as family. One patient insists that Johnson made her last delivery deliv-ery the most wonderful experience she has ever had. "We just bonded. From the minute Shirley walked in the room, she made me feel like family. She war- like a mom to me," said Karen Marcum from Orem. Johnson has a scrap book overflowing with pictures pic-tures and cards from former patients. pa-tients. taken her from the Yapai Community Commu-nity Hospital in the mountains of Prescott, Ariz., where she started her nursing career, to soaring through the sky as a high risk Labor La-bor and Delivery nurse on the maternal ma-ternal flight team for the University Universi-ty of Utah's Air Med helicopter . She has been with AFH three years. L -o a mother, Johnson justcant stop worrying about her patients. Because of this ten years ago she changed her specialty from ICU to Labor & Delivery, an area where she plans to stay. Co-workers say Johnson's talent tal-ent for showing love to herpatients can only be attributed to a gift from God. Shirley is just naturally a very giving person who loves to do special spe-cial things for people, they say. She doesn't just do her job, she puts her whole self into it, said Cathy Burrows, Bur-rows, RN. Burrows recalls after her son was bom, Johnson kissed him on the forehead before she gave placed him in her arms. She said she remembers re-members thinking, "Shirley loves my baby just like I do!" Johnson lives in Spanish Fork, with her husband, Jit She says she got the name "Boots" when J.R. gave her a pair of boots that require old fashioned spit shinning. He started calling her "Boots" and the name just stuck. While you're out cookin' up summer fun "V- r We'll work to hold electric bills down We know how difficult it is to stretch the family budget. That's why we work hard to control operating costs and keep the lid on electric rates. One way we can do this is to use a variety of power sources to meet our community's energy needs. Federal hydroelectric power supplies 56 percent of our power at about 2 cents per kilowatt hour. The rest comes from other sources, at a cost of about 4 cents per kilowatt hour. Combined, these power sources account for about 48 percent of your electric bill. So go out and have some summer fun. You can count on us to supply your family with reliable electric service at the lowest possible cost.

Q IT'S YOUR MOVE r I John Jolley Marv Cartwright If experience counts, call us Preparing a List The more specific that home buyers can be when describing the homes they want, the belter able real estate agents can be in fulfilling their desires. Quite often, first-time home buyers seek to recreate the feelings that their childhood homes provided to them. In order to separate .the emotional experience of those memories with the actual facts, it is a good idea to sit down and make a specific list of needs and wants. In many cases, this list will differ considerably from the features that a childhood home once provided. In any case, drawing up a needwant list helps home buyers define their priorities and give real estate agents a better picture of what to look for.
