More than 25,000 call Pleasant Grove home in 2004, and to better protect and serve them Hales and the city fathers hope to provide pro-vide a fire station in a central cen-tral location. There are several different differ-ent options the city is looking look-ing into for location. One would be to tear down the old structure and build new on the same site, another would be to build a bit farther far-ther west by Jacobs Center or build on property by the cemetery. All are property sites owned by the city. "To build a main station we're going to need about two acres of ground," Hales said at a January retreat with the City Council. He told the city he was planning plan-ning on visiting other stations sta-tions in Salt Lake Valley to get a better idea of what would be needed, what would work, and what wouldn't. Hales estimates the cost of a new station could be from $2 million to $2.5 million. mil-lion. "We would build a big three-bay station to house most of the equipment," he said. "Right now it's packed pretty tight." With the city's projected buildout of 45,000 people, those researching the project proj-ect realize the concept is going to probably need a plan for a satellite system with a main station. A satellite station would need one acre of property. "We need a central location loca-tion for the main station and we are looking at one satellite station in north end," he said. He feels the city needs such a plan to keep response time, the time spent to get to an emergency, emer-gency, within the national benchmark of four minutes or less. It isn't just the building, however, that Hales is researching. Pleasant Grove is classified for intermediate inter-mediate transport and he wants to get the city licensed for single paramedic para-medic rescue. The City Council gave Hales the nod to proceed with the para Simple assault - An individual was arrested for simple sim-ple assault. Simple assault - Officers responded to a report of an assault at Lindon Elementary School. Simple assault - Officers were called to Pleasant Grove Junior High School regarding a fight between two students. As a result, one student was cited for assault and released to grandmother. Business burglary - A tool kit containing mechanic tools, a Lincoln electric welder and $50 cash were reported report-ed taken from a local business. Also $500 damage was done to the coke machine and $500 to the candy machine. Vehicle burglary - A green Coleman camping tent, valued at $90, was reported taken from a truck that was parked in front of a residence. Criminal mischief -The passenger and front window of a 1988 Peterbilt Tractor PK were broken while parked in a church parking lot. A large piece of lumber, believed used to break the windows, was on the front seat of the truck. Criminal mischief - Windows were reported broken out of three different vehicles over the past three weeks. Theft - A wallet containing a checkbook, credit cards, about $40 in cash, and a drivers license was reported lost or stolen. The cards have been canceled. Retail theft - A x-box game valued at $39.99 was reported stolen from a local business. A juvenile was taken into custody. Theft - A refrigerator, stove, microwave and dishwasher dish-washer were reported stolen out of a rental home. Theft - A DVD player, valued at $69, a Clarion car stereo CD player, and various DVD's were reported stolen from a residence. iiiisl From Front Page medic application to the state. "There are eight more medicines they can use for heart problems and other difficulties such as trauma," he said. Although it would take $3,400 more to cover the work shifts involved for the new status, he maintains main-tains the subsequent paramedic para-medic licensing would generate gen-erate approximately a net revenue of at least $25,000 from billing for paramedic rescues. Hales leads a staff and volunteer group of four full-time full-time firefighters, 35 firefighters fire-fighters and 25 EMTs, with 20 crosstrained as both firefighter fire-fighter and EMT, maintaining maintain-ing a total of 65 volunteers who answer to more than 1,000 medical calls a year. "Right now we can't do anything for seizures," he said. "You get some of these kids that get seizures, we can't give them drugs at all. We get 100-plus seizures a year." If the city approves funding fund-ing for the single paramedic rescue they will be able to treat seizures and other conditions. "If that's my family, I don't care what it costs," Hales said. A firefighter for 21.5 years, Hales speaks not only from experience but as a Pleasant Grove resident. He wants what is best for his family and for his crew that includes his son, Eddie Hales, his father Cliff Hales and his uncle Don Hales The funding for the single sin-gle paramedic rescue licensing licens-ing will come from the city budget if approved, but funds for a new fire station must be approved by a majority vote of Pleasant Grove registered voters. Some speculate the city would like to bond no later than April and vote in May for all three projects, while others are projecting a summer sum-mer bonding date. Either way, a new fire station is on the top of the residents' priority project list for the city according to recent library surveys. "We do realize everybody (departments) have needs," Hales said. "We've got to work together to make things work."

The center, which Sid Lester and current director Ruth Hassenfritz opened over 30 years ago, provides access for seniors to programs pro-grams such as HEAT, Meals on Wheels, and more. But the center provides much more than temporal service. According to Cullimore, "All the seniors need sometimes is just a hug. Sometimes we're the only ones they get to talk to." A native of England, Cullimore Cul-limore has three sons of her own, and considers the people peo-ple at the senior center her family. "There's an older lady here. We call each other every night at nine o'clock, just to make sure the other's okay," she said. Fellow foodservers and knock rummy partners, Dating contest inspires romance By D. Savage-Blackhurst Cupid is alive and well and working at the Pleasant Grove Park's and Recreation Recre-ation department under the name of Vanessa Sevy. Sevy is the creator of the fourth annual HusbandWife Date Night Contest. "I wanted to help get more husbands and wives together. You've got to spend time together if you're going to keep your marriage strong," said Sevy. Sevy is a big believer in promoting strong marriages. mar-riages. Before working for Pleasant Grove Park's and Recreation, she was responsible respon-sible for a set of displays at BYU during education week promoting husband-and-wife dating. Her display received much favorable attention and resulted in an invitation invita-tion to speak on the subject as well. Four years ago, when she began working for Pleasant Grove, she wanted to find a way to continue her mission, mis-sion, and so the HusbandWife Hus-bandWife Date Night Contest Con-test was born. Road would provide the needed frontage sits on the east side of his home. At the Feb. 3 City Council meeting, Mayor Danklef and the engineer for Apple Grove, Mark Greenwood, plan to help Hone obtain his loan by dedicating the land east of the property for its intended purpose as a future road, 600 South, a move that should satisfy the bank. "He'd have 120 feet of frontage," Greenwood reported. The council decided decid-ed that Hone could lay a driveway that would curve from the side of the house into his garage and provide adequate access to the dirt road that is planned as 600 South.

"We all love working and playing together," said McFate, who has been at Cullimore's side for five years. Hassenfritz usually receives all adulation for the center, and she deserves every drop for her decades of service to the senior citizens citi-zens of the community. But none should overlook Cullimore, Cul-limore, who has served both food and kindness for more than 15 years. Cullimore is only one of many seniors who donate their time to improve the North Utah County community. commu-nity. Debbie Christensen of the Mountainland Association Associa-tion of Governments' Retired and Senior Volunteer Volun-teer Program reported to the Pleasant Grove city council that 39 local volunteers volun-teers have given 7,316 hours of service, totaling over $116,000 of projected wages saved. Those who would like to join and are over 55 years of age, can contact the local Mountainland RSVP office "Date nights set a good example for your kids," said Sevy. "Besides it's cheaper than marriage counseling." Sevy recommends that couples go out together once a week, or at the very least twice a month. "You don't have to spend a lot of money or even leave the house," said Sevy. She told of a date night that her husband planned for her. He got the kids settled in the family room with pizza and a video, then served her a romantic dinner at a small table in their bedroom. He even cooked Cornish game hens for the occasion. "We had a really nice time and it didn't cost much money," Sevy said. Last year's winner in the Category of "Most Romantic Anniversary" was Autumn and Brent Christensen. For 10 weeks before their tenth anniversary Brent left a series of gifts and clues for his wife to find each week to let her know the many reasons rea-sons why he loved her.

Other memorable entries included a couple that drove up to the mountains for a picnic breakfast. They chose a spot that overlooked the valley, and watched the sun come up. To their surprise they got to see quite a bit of wild life wake up and come out as well. There were ideas for setting set-ting up tents to camp out in the backyard or even in the living room. Other entries included ideas for treasure hunts and clues leading to movies or restaurants, kidnapping kid-napping the spouse from work, house trading with another couple for a weekend week-end and decorating carsoffices . with paper hearts and balloons.
