Show Review - Wednesday, January 7, 19X7 - Page :i People, Politics and Policy in P.G. key role in many of Pleasant Grove public works projects and provided m any jobs for local men, over the years. With all of the demands of a very competitive business Neil did not hesitate to take time to seve his community. Sam Hilton was no stranger to community service. For years he served in the American Legion and managed the old power plant at the mouth of Battle Creek for years. Sam had a keen interest in and a deep love for his community as did the other two men I have men-tioned. Each had a deep com-mittment to family, and all three helped raise wonderful families. Their years spanned much of what we call good and hard times. They survived and prospered through it all and were the better for it, as was their community. The question now is who is going to fill their shoes? Who will keep the music going and cheer the hearts of children at Christmas time? Who will provide the leadership for a fine company and still find so much time to serve others? Who wil se that the flag is raised on m emorial day and boy and girl staters are allowed to go? When these men were young Pleasant Grove never had a sewer system. Paved roads, as we know them, were almost t. Garbage was burned in the backyard. The water system was in its infancy. Yet there is still much that is left to be done, and 1987 is as good a time as any to make progress toward accomplishing these tasks. There are stil altogether too many uncared for lots in the city, which are full of weeds and debris. Our own city has provied the leadership in beautification of m any civic areas that were once left unkept. A library still needs to be built, as does the fire station. The road improvement program needs to continue. A new park needs to be built in the n orth end of the city. The list could go on, and always will. Who is going to fill their shoes? By E. MAUK BEZZANT As 1987 begins here in Pleasant Grove it will be in the absence of three very prominent citizens who died this past year. Each in their own right made significant con-tributions to the life and events that have taken place here in our city. Who among us can forget how we have been touhed by Earl Beck's calling at just about every kind of event that you can think of. Where there was square dancing there was Earl Beck. He commented to .me once how much he loved the dancing floor in the old high school gym, which is now the communiy center. Who can forget the m agic his Christmas lights brought to the child in all of us as we ventured to the downtown area during the holiday season. Who can ignore the great con-tribution of Neil Fugal. This was a man who despite a serious injury as a young boy loved to work in the construction business. In fact he J became the mainstay of the Fugal business when his father passed away.

This reference is not factual nor can we recall anyone making the statement in the council meeting, E. Ray Brown, city administrator said. Officers and shareholders of the North Union Canal Company are to be commended for the manner in which the canal has been and continues to be operated and maintained, he said. Lindon City's , motivation for considering a secondary system is to build upon the work done by the canal com-panies in Lindon to insure that every advantage can be taken of the total water available to it to provide the most efficient and least cost water to its citizens he added. As land uses continue to change from agricultural to residential, commercial, and industrial, it is important for us to evaluate and update our conveyance systems to meet those changing needs Brown noted. Experience of other communities shows that open ditch conveyance systems and residential develop-ment are not compatible and in time this low cost source of water is lost, leaving the city with expensive alternatives, Again, experience of other communities shows great dividends where far sighted city fathers have installed secondary water systems, the city administrator said. Ambulance response increases Pleasant Grove Ambulance and First Response calls in 1986 totalled over 100 more than in 1985, ac-cording to the annual report just released. David Vickers, Emergency Medical Officer for the city, said that there 490 calls in 1986 while in 1985 there were 366. In 1984 there . were 320 calls. The bulk of the additional calls were because of transfers from the American Fork Hospital, Vickers said. This year there were 148 transfers, making up 30 per cent of the runs made, while in 1985 there were only 40 transfers, or 11 per cent of the runs made. During the past year there were 40 cardiac calls, 175 medical calls, 74 vehicle accidents, 148 transfers, and 53 fire calls. A total of 391 patients were transported. Most of the calls were for both First Response and the Ambulance. These totaled 257 or 52 per cent. The Ambulance only responded to 166 calls for 34 per cent and First Response only went to 67 calls or 14 per cent. Of the total, 351 runs were made during the day and 139 were at night. Fifty-thre- e per cent of the calls, or 262, were in Pleasant Grove. There were 92 runs to Lindon, 114 from the hospital, and 22 to the county areas. The month which had the most calls in 1986 was October with 68. December had the least number of calls with only 24. In 1985, April had tire highest number of calls with 37 and May had the least with 23. In 1986 the average number of runs per month was 40.8, in 1985 it was 30.5 and in 1984 it was 26.7. Comparisons for call types in 1986 and 1985 showed that there were 40 cardiac calls in 1986 and 37 in 1985. There were 175 medical calls this past year and 158 in 1985. The response to vehicle accidents was 74 in 1986 and 93 the previous year. There were 53 other types of calls in 1986, exclusive of transfers which is ; listed earlier in the article, and in " 1985 there 38 other types of calls. |
