Show Review - Wednesday, March 14, 1984 - Page 5 1 i td. u ' IAKKY TKRKY, assistant manager, waits on customer, as Paul Smits, new manager of Mr. G's takes care of business on the phone. New management provides excellent service at Mr. G's By GWEN PETERSON "We have no problem here with" crummy chips," Paul Smits related to the caller on the phone as I walked into the attractive, clean and well-li- t Mr. G's on South State Street in Pleasant Grove. Larry Terry, the assistant manager, was busy waiting on a customer. Paul and Larry were transferred to the Pleasant Grove store from the American Fork Mr. G's in the middle of January. They seemed to be pleased with this pleasant turn of events. "Pleasant Grove has an interesting group of people. There is never a dull moment here," Paul relates. "The people seem more relaxed. They just kick back and take time to get acquainted." Paul lives in Pleasant Grove, so that makes him an authority on the subject. Larry is from Provo and is the only employee who is not from Pleasant Grove or Lindon. "Our claim to fame is an employee, Lonnie Truex, a freshman at Pleasant Grove High who took region in wrestling and came in fifth in the state tournaments." Paul said. They are interested in the local sports and the store is a major contributor to KPGR. Jay Graft, the assistant manager of Mr. G's in American Fork, came in and was enthusiastic about their wholesale donut business. "I would put them up against any in the valley," Jay said. "They are good donuts." They have their own bakery in the American Fork store, out of which they supply many accounts daily with fresh pastries, sandwiches and pizza. Their business is growing rapidly. Central Distributing owns the wholesale business. In fact, they own Mr. G's, Budget Fuel Stops, Cobblestone Restaurants and Centran Gas. They are expanding and by fall plan to build four more Mr. G's. Two in Salt Lake City, one in Roy and they are rebuilding the one in Spanish Fork. They are a fourth of the way through building a Budget Fuel Stop in Springville. The Mr. G's in Pleasant Grove was formerly known as Fergs. When it was purchased three years ago they remodeled the entire inside of the store, which is open 24 hours a day. "We're the friendliest place in town," Paul says. "Sparkling conversation and a helping hand." I have to admit I was impressed with their friendliness and helpfulness. They also carry a full automotive line and other hardware supplies you might need in a hurry. "Mr. G's is the neighborhood Good Guy," Paul explains. "Where else can you rent a video, get a hot dog, a soft drink and gas up your car all in the same place?" Where indeed. We're happy to welcome Mr. G's new managers and wish them well. ' j""'1 , ,. n.

Displays and demonstrations highlighted the fair. Booths, displays, demonstrations highlight Manila Health and Safety Fair for kids, parents By GWEN PETERSON Kandi James, PTA President, and Meredith Simpson and Judy Turnbow of the PTA Board were among the hostess' that greeted parents and children to the Health Fair at Manila Elementary on Wednesday, Feb. 29. It! ; was well organized and informative, covering different aspects of prepardness from those who serve and help in the protection of the citizens of 1 Pleasant Grove in many different 1 ways. There were interesting displays from a dental center, podiatry and chiropractic help ' as well as information on the total health center m Hobble Creek Canyon. Dennis Carter, a volunteer fireman from Pleasant Grove, explained the use of firefighter's equipment. Julie White told about the volunteer ambulance program, how the volunteer's hold regular jobs but are on call during their free time. They are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians. Police Chief Mike Ferre and Lt. Tom Paul were busy fingerprinting children. They seemed to welcome the opportunity to become better acquainted with parents and children alike. "Ready Freddy", a large white rabbit, greeted children and encouraged them to be prepared for any disaster. He stressed especially that they not be afraid, but be prepared. Francis and LaDean Morton of Murray had an informative table set up with much material explaining the SLAM program, "Stronger legislation Against Child Molestation". They feel, in this organization, that violators are let off far too lightly in courts, considering the damage they inflict upon their victims. Anyone interested in volunteer work in this area may call LaDean at 262-409- One evening didn't seem adequate to absorb all the information that would no doubt make life easier and safer. j Recreation Dept. to offer guitar and pre-scho- ol music classes starting 320 The Pleasant Grove Recreation Dept. will offer a beginning guitar class for ages 11 through adult 1 starting Tuesday, March 20, at 5 p.m. The classes will include chords (open and bar), music theory, music notation, voice, basic classical techniques and basic strums.
