Wanlass creates limited edition automotive bronze sculptures echoing his love for the automobile which he has collected, restored, and raced since the His collection varies from Bugattis to Auburns. His sculptures are represented in the most prestigious museums and private collections worldwide. Stan has always had a passion for cars. As a child he sculpted them out of soap bars. During the fifties as a young hot rod enthusiast, he built two 1932 Fords which he showed and raced. To support his habit he striped, flamed and scalloped local hot rods and lead sleds. Some of Stan's passion for cars may have come from a close proximity as an attendant at his dad, Glen's, service station which was located on Main Street, Lehi, where as a young man he ogled first cars, with girls coming in a close second. Now, Stan's bronzes are called by some and "just plain sensuous" by others. He hasn't started sculpting girls yet, except as passengers in the cars he sculpts, concentrating all his considerable talents depicting the vehicles that dwell in his mind's eye as special. Wanlass does extensive research on each of his art works. However, he takes license with the facts if it will help his composition. "I change whatever I need to in order to establish a symbol.

I feel that now is a more important statement to make than then. I make statements about now using then," said Stan in his art brochure. The automobile is the only really new significant art form of this century. For thousands of years man relied on the horse and wagon for transportation. Then this contraption comes along and revolutionizes the world. "I guess I'm a hopeless idealist and romantic. I love nostalgia. 1 feel a responsibility to history, a great debt to those that came before me who improved the world to a point that I mighthave the opportunity to create.

"You have to learn to say no -women try to be people pleasers," Ms. Osterloh said. "Let go of perfection to a certain degree, learn to make time for yourself," she urged. Today's statistics show 52 percent of the women in the nation work out of the home. In Utah the 60 percentage is even higher most of she said, adding percent, these work because they have to. Once in the work force, women can choose to either stay put or move up the corporate ladder. Seventy percent of the women in the work force are "stay puts." In talking to working woman, she has found part of the reason for this is because many women are afraid of success. They don't want to leave behind colleagues and friends. "We are our own worst enemies, we need to take a little more credit for our accomplishments than we do," she said. Mark Howard, executive director of American Fork, Utah Valley Regional Medical Center and Orem Community Hospitals, recalled the history of the present hospital, saying 12 years ago the hospital "we stood in an alfalfa field and broke ground." The hospital opened in November of 1981 and since then has grown with Same Day Surgery, the Transitional Unit and the women's center expansion. d Howard said all this has because of community tup port. This is the highest patient satisfaction hospital in the Health Care system, he said. Eloise Anderson, Women's Center Director, said the completion of the new birthing center was the culmination of "years of dreaming and hoping and finally executing. "It has really bam a thrill to be involved in the creation of the new ares," she said. - 9 'r,,' To Q h, "i J, , f f " ' . ' , V ; ! ' ' ' . A, J f--; j if .1: is: js'.'f'fp'r:'- - :'''y'v " - ?'
