Show Review - Wednesday, September 11. 1985 - Page 11 First Response vehicle featured in state surnlus publication Pleasant Grove's First Response Vehicle has been highlighted in "Surplus Makes Sense," a publication of the State Division of Surplus Property. Lynn Zufelt, Civil Defense representative for the city, said that the city has been using federal surplus for many years and as a result it has saved the citizens thousands of dollars. Lynn, the city mechanic who keeps the city vehicles in running condition, has worked for the city for over 13 years. Faced with main-taining an old building for the city shop, Lynn has used surplus items for many things over the years. He has used surplus aluminum insulation, new electronic lighting systems, a sev;n-foo- t fan to cir-culate air, and he estimates that about 80 per cent of everything he has is surplus. What doesn't work when he gets it, he makes it work. He uses initiative and creative ingenuity in making surplus keep Pleasant Grove going. For instance, Lynn makes his own jumper cables and battery cables for the city police cars. The Rescue truck is one of six vehicles which the city has been able to purchase at quite a savings. An old tractor that the city got from surplus was turned over to the Parks Dept. for use in a city park as a toy for children to climb on. surplus panu nas oeen used to paint the bleachers at the rodeo grounds and to paint a city water tank. The volunteer work of several city workers and the Ambulance Association turned the Rescue truck into a real city asset. The article goes on to state that Pleasant Grove is an excellent example of how a city can stretch their dollars and help their citizens. It congratulated Lynn and all those who work with him for the out-standing service they provide their community. Frank Mills, Public Works Director, said that this article will now be sent to a national surplus magazine.

Fork By ROBERT BEAN Defense, was, for the second time in two weeks, the key factor as the Pleasant Grove Vikings helped themselves to a 19-- 6 victory over Spanish Fork Friday night. It might have been the cool night air that inspired the Vikings to play with such ferocity, but for whatever reason, PG's defense, led by linebackers Darren Hooley and Brent Larsen, was relentless. The tone for the Vikings first half shutout was set by inside linebacker Josh Bickerton, who picked off a Brett Houghton pass on Spanish Fork's first offensive series. PG went on to intercept three more passes and dislodge three fumbles for a total of seven tur-novers on the evening. Offensively, quarterback Shaun Jacobson got PG moving on their first offensive series of the game, hitting split end Jim Debenham, and Hooley with key passes to set up a Deon Bezzant field goal from 29 yards out. Hooley ran in a 15 yarder and Bezzant kicked his fourth field goal of the young season to close the first half scoring, and give the Vikes a 13-- 0 halftime cushion. Jacobsen picked his way through the Don's defense on the way to a six yard touchdown when he kept the ball on the option in the final quarter. Spanish Fork got on the scoreboard with :34 seconds remmaining in the game but the try for two points failed. The win moves Pleasant Grove to 0 for the season and may move them up in the local polls as a result of Jordan's recent loss to Bear River. The Vikes now turn their attention to Carbon for a Friday night game in Price. Novelty softball game slated The King and his court will arrive in Pleasant Grove September 16.

"I'm not an authority on hospitals," says Wendell Hansen, "because this was the first time I have been in a hospital, but I don't think they would have been any better anywhere else. I think we are fortunate to have this type of facility here. I have watched at other hospitals and I think the care here is better." Thinking back on the seriousness of his accident, Wendell said, "At one time, when the accident first happened, we were skeptical and wondered if I should be transferred, but after the first two-thre- e days, we weren't about to have me transferred. That shows my reaction." "I was really impressed with the ICU (Intensive Care Unit)," continues Wen-dell, "I had some really outstanding nurses there and after I was moved out of intensive care, I had really good nurses there too -- - and the doctors were really special. Dr. Schefield didn't know me from Adam and he gave me the best trauma care and so did Doctors Jerry Martin, Paul Robinson and Michael Callahan." "There wasn't a day the doctors didn't come in -- - and it wasn't just 'Hello, how are you, goodbye,' -- - it was 'You're going to make it, Wendell. You are doing fine, how's your horses doing? How's little league football coming?' - always a word of encouragement, everything on a positive note." "I lived, what more can I say? I guess it was a miracle. They sure had the right touch. They consistently gave me good care and did the right thing. The am-bulance crew gave me very good service. They were 'Johnny on the spot.' " "I just feel we have a good thing going here." Your hospital in American Fork is striving to stay at the top of the health care profession by providing state of the art facilities as they are needed in this area to keep up with the remarkable advances in modern health care. To be a top quality health care delivery system, a wide range of services is required. The 16 specialties at American Fork Hospital help provide that diver-sity. For example, the physicians who worked with Wendell Hansen provided all the necessary training and expertise he needed. Dr. Jerry Martin is a full-tim- e emergency room physician, trained to deal with the trauma of all types of emergency cases. He teaches emergency first-ai- d to local paramedics and occasionally teaches such things as CPR to community groups. Dr. Michael Callahan, a board certified orthopedic surgeon, deals with the problems of the bone. Dr. Callahn was the first at American Fork Hospital to place a joint cementless. Dr. Callahan does all orthopedic surgery with an em-phasis on total joints and athletic injuries. Dr. Roger Schefield, a fully trained general surgeon, helps the hospital become a full service hospital. Dr. Schefield is board certified. General surgery is a specialty dealing with all types of surgical procedures. Dr. Schefield was trained in the Bay area and served in several large naval hospitals. Dr. Paul Robinson has been practicing at American Fork Hospital for the last six years. Dr. Robinson was the only general surgeon at American Fork Hospital for five of those six years and has performed a great number of surgeries at American Fork. Those needing surgical procedures can be referred from the family physicians to the general surgeons. As important as the specialty physicians are, the care patients receive while in the hospital is also very important. The caring nursing staff at American Fork Hospital is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to help you recover from your illness. Wendell Hansen's wife, LaVon, summed up her feelings in this way, "We couldn't have asked for any better service than we received here -- - we got the best - better than we could have had anywhere. The medical doctors were really qualified. They didn't haphazardly guess, they were very dependable and knew what needed to be done and did it. We were really happy with the services and facilities."
