Show Thursday, November 19, i981.Pi t IFmm the Front Hospital Continued from Front Page budge into an "up" position. Mountain View High School students, enjoying a day from school as they did volunteer services, added a touch of humor to the move as I hey wrestled large items oul of the old building to be taken to the new. Each ambulance carried a nurse or other medically trained person along with the patient when each was transported. Fortunately, it was a beautiful day and no chance of patients getting too cold as they were briefly outside. The hospital staff had organized the move very well and everything seemed to go as planned. Considering the number of people involved, all seemed lo be well in hand as one after another the ambulance picked up their loads and quickly returned for more. A hospital move is not something one observes on a regular basis. As Mr. Howard said, he has assisted in several moves of hospitals now and each time they learn something which helps the next lime. American Fork City provided gasoline for the ambulances, and radios to assist personnel. Each of the volunteers were also provided lunch. The new d hospital, located at 170 North 1100 East, was built and is owned by Intermounlain health Care, Inc. A replacement structure for the old medical facility, it is buill as a modular unit so an additional (i8 beds can be added in 198G to make it a ISO-be- d hospital, and another 100-be- d addition is planned for 1994 to make it a 250 bed facility. "The rooms are private, better laid out, and there is not so much distance between departments, " as in (he old hospital, Mr. Howard said of the $12.2 million hospital. "Patients also have the test view around," he commented as he looked out on the majestic Ml. Timpanogos in the background. More than 6,300 visitors toured the new facility between its dedication on November 5 and the November 12 move. DUP Praises Work on Old Bell School The Daughters of Pioneers are viewing the Pioneer museum and log cabin will) a great amount of pride this week. Work is progressing on repairing the respected old building so it will be preserved from further deterioration during the winter. The cracks in (he thick adobe walls have been repaired, the windows have been re-pu- ll ied, and the chimney rebuilt. Much work has been done on the back room which will be available as an extension of the museum as soon as the city can find other quarters for some of their equipment. As' further money becomes available more extensive repairs and rennovalion can be made, but so far, the DUP is very grateful to have the building made more safe and sound and further erosion halted. They acknowledged with appreciation the interest of Tom Hamann who is the con-tractor in charge of repairing the building. They feel he will do his best lo see that (he building gels what is needed lo maintain it. They acknowledge the significant work of the Fowles brothers and of Mr. Bill Iloglund in repairing the log cabin, replacing rotted logs, chinking the cracks, and spraying the entire building with preservatives. As custodians of the museum, the Daughters of Utah Pioneers express thanks to Mayor Haynie for his loyal suport of this project, and also lo the City Council members, especially lo Donna Brock, for their help. They also thank the dozens of individuals who have helped raise the money either by direct contribution or by support of money raised activities jof the DUP. Many Clubs have helped, and some business houses have contributed two or three times. A few former residents of Pleasant Grove have made substantial contributions. Everyone in Pleasant Grove should feel a justifiable ex-citement in seeing the Pioneer Museum take its place proudly, instead of apologetically, as our most prestigious community treasure.

Cornell Haynie -- - and this is the beginning of something special. No place on earth is blessed with finer young people than right here in Plesant Grove. Since they are tomorrow's leaders it is only fair that they be given the opportunity now to give input to the city leaders. The new youth mayor and coun-cilme- n will have the opportunity to work side by side with their coun-terparts on the regular council. They can have their own meetings, loo, and plan projects lo practice their leadership skills. In other areas where this has been done, it is a great success and the young people love it. I would expect that in the next months and years the residents of Pleasant Grove will benefit greatly from the participation of the youlh in city government. Besides, it gives the youth a chance to practice some skills. One never knows what budding senator, congressman, secretary of slate or even president lurks in the shadows of today waiting for their time in the sun. Prestige has come to this town in recent years through our youth. I'm speaking of Cloggers West and the school's A Cappella Choir and Chamber Choir which have traveled the United Slates bringing acclaim lo this small town. I'm sure there are many other youth organizations here which do great and wonderful things. Sometimes, with the gang wars in the east, drug abuse throughout the U.S., teenage alcoholism and other social problems, we tend lo forget the accomplished kids, the ones who do (heir best and put their best fool forward. When Laura Mosher was asked to help with the Youth City Council elections at the high school, with the help of Counselor E. Mark Bezzant, she complied readily. She also had good help to carry the ball and make the campaign a success. These are the kinds of kids we have in Pleasant Grove. They whitewash a "G" on the mountain so we can all be proud of it. They follow through on service projects to help the elderly or the ailing. They toilet-pape- r the houses of friends and even adults whom they like. They get jobs lo earn money to go on band trips, choir trips, and Clogger trips. They give you a smile and it makes you feel good. They giggle at anything and it makes you giggle, too. The boys sit on "stud row" at the high school and eye the girls, and it reminds us of when we were young. They know more than we did when we were their age. Why is that? They like things from the 50's which helps to close the generation gap, if there is such a thing. They are beginning to dance together again, traditional dance posture, instead of swinging about not knowing who their partner is or, perhaps, even caring who it is. Girls like lo be girls and boys like lo be boys and they don't look as much alike as they did a number of years ago. Even hair styles are getting shorter and believe me, it looks sooo-oooo- o nice. Girls seem to wear dresses more often lo school and they look feminine and sweet. It is a good thing we live in P.G. Thai is where it is at. That is where the good times are and as John Gourley says, "The greatest kids in the world are right here." City Council Continued from Front Page village Mobile Home Park. The city engineer, Lee Wimmer, also told council that a soil study would have to be done at the site of this proposed mobile home park. He had concluded that some of the soil there is unstable when it is saturated with water. He said there was a question of whether lo raise the roads or lower the water table.. The study should be completed by the next council meeting. Nancy Bristol, representing Reyes Syndrome Foundation in Pleasant Grove, explained the goals and needs of this organization and received the support of the city council in behalf of the group. She said they would be seeking funds locally lo assist in research on the disease. With the council not being too familiar with the Reyes Syndrome, Mrs. Bristol explained that this disease effects the liver in children, sometimes adults, which in turn can cause the brain to swell and then this can result in affecting other parts of the body as well. The desease attacks primarily healthy children ages 18 and under, males and females equally. Onset of the disease usually follows a viral illness such as flu or chicken pox. it can be fatal or can leave the patient with varying degrees of disabilities. It is a disease. Survivors of Reyes Syndrome usually recover completely but some do suffer brain damage. Newly elected council members, Dell Young and David Dickerson, reported to council on a workshop they attended Tuesday evening on distribution of the sales tax which was sponsored by (he League of Cities and Towns. During the workshop, legislation was drafted which will request an additional one-fourt- h cent sales lax which would be distributed on a per capital basis rather than on point-of-sale- s. There is presently three-fourt- h cent sales tax. At the end of five years a full one-ha- lf of the full cent would be distributed on population basis rather than the point-of-sale- This legislation, if enacted by the legislature, would bring about $100,000 more into the Pleasant Grove revenues the first year. This would increase each year as the percentage was changed. Pleasant Grove City presently has a suit against the state tax commission asking that the method of distribution be changed from point-of-sale- s to population. The city has contended that many actual sales occur here but that the sales tax goes to the Salt Lake City area because the home office is there. They feel that this is unfair. The approval of this legislation would be a great boon to Pleasant Grove and other small communities throughout the state, the council said. Police Chief Mike Ferre reported that Officer Jim Jones has resigned and council approved the hiring of Cody Cullimore as a patrol officer. This leaves the city without an Animal Contrdl Officer so the city will be seeking a person to serve in this capacity. Applications are available at the city hall or the police station. The council also approved the appointment of Val Scott as a volunteer fireman. Since Mr. Scott is a full-tim- e fire fighter for Hill Air Force Base, Fire Chief Mark Johnson said he would be a real asset to the department because of his expertise.
