Utah National Guard helicopter lifts rolls of sheet aluminum to waiting workers on G Mountain. 3: :G9 restorative near complete j)! By GARY LEONARD Wnal steps were taken this week the restoration of the block 'G' on . mountain. , east , of Pleasant Ipve. Members of the 115th Engineers up of the Utah National Guard ,.';d three helicopters to airlift a ' ling machine and several rolls of jiminum sheeting to the site where 'lunteers, including Mayor Dave ildaway, waited to begin work on k final stages of the restoration. The aluminum sheeting will be intertwined along a steel mesh and fastened with sheet metal screws to provide a clean white finish to the "G." The project, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Pleasant Grove and the Key Club at P.G. High School, has turned into one of the most successful community service projects in several years, according to Jeri Craner, advisor to the Key Club. Craner said she knew the "G" needed work because she had been involved in other efforts to res;ore the letter. In 1979, some concrete, work was done, but funds ran ou and ' the idea losr niwneri'luAv.V1 Recently, the forest service ex-- , pressed concerns about erosion on the. mountain, and suggested something be done. She said, "I thought we would either have to do something about the letter or lose it altogether, so when the Kiwanis asked what they could do to support the Key Club, I suggested the 'G' project and they agreed." According to Jim Gilson, president of the Kiwanis, the idea caught on, and public response has been tremendous. "We initially estimated that we would need about $6,000 to do the job, and thanks to the public response, we have raised more than that amount," he said. Most of the funds were raised through private donations and fundraising events. The Key Club held a concert and dance that raised over $600, and Craner said letters were sent to PGHS alumni requesting donations. "The alumni drive was very successful," she said. "We really appreciate the concern of those who responded." Collection jars were also placed throughout local businesses and resulted in over $600 in donations. Gilson said the Strawberry Days Committee donated $1000, and a private citizen donated $500. In addition, many others have donated time and equipment to the project. Boyd Fugal, director of the project for the Kiwanis, said almost everyone has been involved in one way or another. The mayor and members of the council have helped work on the mountain, the police, fire and ambulance teams have i'vided - support in. maintaining-safet-and the National Guard and Rocky Mountain Helicopters have provided the necessary air support to lift the heavy materials up the mountainside. "It really has been a community affair," he said. Original plans called for the in-stallation of a wire mesh to be covered by over 100 tons of white rock, but engineers said that amount of weight would have to be further strengthened to prevent erosion. The extra cost involved would have made the project too expensive, so it was decided to use aluminum strips 'wrapped around the wire mesh. In addition to the restoration of the "G," equipment has been made available to provide permanent lighting as needed, and the 4H club is planning to plant a ground cover around the letter to prevent erosion and further beautify the mountain. Money not used in the initial project will be put in a fund to be . administered by the Key Club, and Used for future maintenance on the mountain. Although the project is well un-derway, Gilson says there are still opportunities to work for those who are interested. "We will be working for several weekends to finish up, and anyone who wants to donate some time can just come to Kiwanis Park about 8 a.m. Saturday morning,' he said. Members of the Kiwanis Club, and Key Club expressed their thanks to all those who in any way have helped to make the project a success. Accident seriously injures PG youth A Pleasant Grove youth was . critically injured Sunday evening as a result of a two car accident even though he was a pedestrian. James M. Adams was taken to American Fork Hospital and transferred to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where he was listed in critical condition with a skull fracture, according to the Utah Highway Patrol. The accident occurred at 5:45 p.m. at 8935 North Canyon Road. Trooper Lee Atwood, who investigated the accident, reported that a car driven by Latella R. Beveridge, Pleasant Grove, was northbound on the Canyon Road and attempted to turn into a driveway, crossing in front of a southbound car driven by Sean D. Gale, Pleasant Grove.
