Perhaps not literally, but your care may be in his hands since he has his finger on the pulse of the nursing staff in the cardiovascular unit of LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City. Carlton's interest in nursing started by watching the example of his maternal grandmother, Irene Evans, who was director of nursing at American Fork Hospital for more than 20 years. During his last two years of high school, long before the term "shadowing" became a vocational buzzword, he would accompany her on weekends to the hospital to watch her in action. "I think the thing I enjoyed most with the was her interaction patients," he said of her. He was hired at the hospital as a nurse's aide and later a licensed practical nurse while he attended Weber State College, where he received his associate's degree and registered nursing certification. He lived with an aunt in Ogden during the week, returning home on weekends to work at the hospital. 1 5, 1 853 853 1 853 Aug. 8, 854 1 856 1857 1 858 860 July 24, 1 885 1896 1904 1910 1916 1 939 1 954 April 7, 1 1 965 Aug. 1 , 1 966 1968 1 972 1977 1 979 982 1 992 1 Sept. 1 995 Sept. 1997 1 996 Sept. 1 4, 1 997 one-roo- m You 1 April 3, Several wagons took participants on a tour of historical homes in Cedar Fort, with narration taken from a written history which had been prepared for the day.

Other editions of New Utah! will include the American Fork Edition, Pleasant Grove Edition Writers other well-packag- wonted Just as we are expanding our newspapers to meet the needs of our growing communities, we need to expand our staff so we can cover the stories you want to read about. Past collective experience indicates that the best writers for our kind of newspapers can be found among a community's own residents in short, among you, our readers. If you've ever had a hankering to "do a little writing" on your own schedule and within your familiar surroundings, this is your opportunity. We're looking for correspondents from Lehi and Saratoga Springs, as well as from the Cecar Valley communities of Eagle Mountain and Cedar Fort who would enjoy spending a few hours a week researching and writing about people and events that matter to them and their neighbors. A journalism background and the ability to take reproducible pictures are pluses, but not absolutely necessary if you're willing to take direction and learn. Being enough to get work done and meet deadlines without someone looking over your shoulder is essential. Possible "beats" or assign- ment areas include city school news, coverage, sports, special events, busi- ness and more. In many cases, you'll be able to cover things you'd be attending anyway.

Carlton had started taking piano lessons from his aunt, Lorene Carlton, when he was eight. According to his wife, Carlton's mother said that "he started playing the 'couch a lot earlier." One week, she suggested that they meet at the church to try his hand at the organ. He studied with Kasen and, when the latter was assigned to play at the open house of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, Carlton was able to participate as well. In his spare time, Carlton also enjoys gardening, reading and taking vacations with his family. He and his wife, the former Helen Kunzler, have three children. Helen will graduate from BYU next month with a degree in early childhood education; she did part of her student teaching at Sego Lily Elementary and hopes to obtain a teaching position in the community this fall.

"Cardiovascular medicine changes weekly" he said. "A cardiovascular patient used to come in and stay for days, now they can come in for just hours." Driven in part by the increased number of patients who required services, he and members of his staff started the project by meeting with architects to determine how to construct the new unit within the existing building. The entire project covered everything from choosing the color of carpet to determiningg the proper protocols for patient care. The new unit will feature 12 beds, but the new staff of 16 can work with up to 24 patients. The standard cardiovascular unit has 46 beds, with the staff caring for as many as 60 to 65 patients per day. In addition to the planning for the new unit, Carlton also returned to school, this time to Brigham Young er and maintaining quality in care.
