Pleasant Grove Appoints New City Administrator
It’s been a few weeks on the job and new city administrator Scott Darrington is just starting to get settled in.
Darrington comes to Pleasant Grove with several years of experience. He grew up in Afton, Wyo., watching his father serve in the city. Later, he took the reins as the city administrator there before moving to South Ogden where, again, he was the city administrator. “I’ve got 10 years of experience in city management,” said Darrington. “I have a good feel for how a city should operate.”
Darrington fills the position left vacant
by Frank Mills, who retired at the end of 2009. He was selected from a pool of several applicants by a committee of Master of Public Administration students from BYU. His job is to implement the vision of the mayor and City Council members.
“My job is to make sure that vision happens,” said Darrington. “The longer I’m here, the better vision I will have.”
Darrington brings his experience and pleasant personality to the already friendly community. He said the city is running great; it’s not broken. He brings
new, fresh ideas hoping to make an even better city.
Darrington chose Pleasant Grove because of it’s quaint and warm community.
“I’m excited to be here,” Darrington said. “It’s a great community.”
He is impressed with the economic development possibilities. Pleasant Grove city has great potential, according to Darrington.
“Pleasant Grove has good people; very friendly,” said Darrington. “I hope that is a trademark of Pleasant Grove.”

Patients in need of total knee replacement surgery may now have the option of undergoing a less invasive procedure.
Utilizing tested technology, The Oxford® Knee is the first unicompartmental knee implant with features designed to glide freely
throughout the knee’s range of motion. And with smaller incisions and advanced technology, recovery time and discomfort for patients is
typically much lower.
The Oxford® Unicompartmental Knee procedure, performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Callahan, is available at American Fork
Hospital to patients who meet certain health standards.
For more information on the Oxford® Knee procedure, call 801.855.3301.

Things are Looking Up Downtown!
Speaker Workshop Celebrates 100 Years of Scouting
Many Pleasant Grove residents drive through their quaint downtown area, Main Street, every day and might not realize the history behind this fun and historical street.
You might wonder, why doesn’t this street have more people visiting its sites such as the historic downtown clock, the second-oldest bar in the state, and Utah’s first Indian battle marker, just to name a few? You might not have even known that this street had historic sites. Why isn’t there more shopping and dining?
These are a few questions Veronica Chapman contemplated as she relocated her business, Pro Digital Photos, to 79 S. Main St.
While Chapman was contemplating these
questions, Pleasant Grove city approached her with the opportunity to help market downtown Main Street.
They had seen her own success stories with Pro Digital Photos and knew they could benefit
from her expertise. She couldn’t resist their offer, as marketing is what she is passionate about. Chapman realizes that this community is in need of businesses that offer value in their products. She also realizes that businesses fail every day for all kinds of reasons, from inferior quality to poor promotion.
Chapman says that success comes from research, focus, discipline, and lots of hard work.
With a wide variety of businesses on Main Street, she realized that every
business owner has to come together to work as a team to make their street a successful venture.
She has already hosted her first monthly meeting with many business owners that are all taking action in this project. While the strategies Chapman is implementing in her monthly meetings are simple, her main focus is to get more people visiting downtown Main Street.
Chapman isn’t ready to tell all of her secrets she has up her sleeve for Main Street, but she sure has a lot of enthusiasm for what the future of Main Street has to come.
World-class speaking professionals are teaming up in a fund raising effort to raise funds for local Boy Scouts of American programs in a professional speaking workshop to benefit the scouting program, which is celebrating its 100th year.
The Mountain West Chapter of the National Speakers Association extends an open invitation to a special one-day seminar and workshop on March 17 from 1-9 p.m.
The event will be held in the 18th-floor Founder’s Room of the Zions Bank tower on the southeast corner of Main Street and South Temple in downtown Salt Lake.
The seminar, “U-Can-Speak (Speaking to Your Success.),” offers valuable and unique presentation and communication tools to both business professionals with years of experience or an apprentice just beginning to learn the basics of professional speaking, while providing an opportunity to learn from some of the best speakers in the business.
“People judge us daily based upon how well we present ourselves. What makes an effective communicator is a mastery skills,” said Marty Van Hill, professional speaker and event organizer. “These crucial skills are some of what you will learn at ‘Speaking to
Your Success!’ ” The Mountain West Chapter wants to share the skills and knowledge of some of its most accomplished members with the community.
The National Speakers Association is the authoritative source for speaking expertise throughout the country and most of the world. NSA Mountain West is presenting this U-Can-Speak program as a public service.
They invite all business professionals to come and invest a day of learning from world-class speaking professionals while also supporting Scouting’s 100th year.
“The Boy Scouts of America has provided incredible value to the youth of America for the past 100 years; with your support and NSA, we
can help invest in their next 100 years” said Van Hill. The Mountain West Chapter of the National Speakers Association will contribute 100 percent of all tuition and fees to the Boy Scouts of America.
Registration Fees are $97 if paid before March 17 or $147 at the door. Visit www.utahscouts.org/ucanspeak for registration information or contact Tina at [email protected].

After working in the automobile industry for 12 years, Rod and Kim Martin decided to open a family-owned repair shop in American Fork. Their goal was to treat customers like family, to take time to educate customers about their maintenance and repair requirements, and to provide value for their expertise. Five years ago, their dream became a reality when they set up shop at 337 W. Main St.
Rod Martin, owner and an ASE-certified master technician, says that repairs at World Class Automotive start with testing and diagnosis, not guessing. Using sophisticated diagnostic equipment, the ASE-certified technicians at World Class are able to uncover the root cause behind check engine lights, strange sounds or new vibrations.
“Our goal is to educate customers so they can make informed decisions,” says Rod. “We’ll prioritize repairs from safety
‘must-do’ issues to someday ‘nice-to-do’ items.”
The technicians at World Class Auto employ the latest automotive technology and are equipped to handle major and minor repairs on both foreign and domestic vehicles.
The Martins also want to help their customers realize the value of auto maintenance. Reducing fuel costs and preventing expensive repairs are just a few of the benefits.
“You get more miles for your dollar by maintaining your vehicle properly,” Rod says. “With gas prices staying high, a fairly small investment in maintenance can go a long way in reducing long-term costs.”
The Martins have been part of the American Fork community for years, and are focused on giving back to their neighbors, family and friends. Last year, World Class Auto collected and donated six barrels of food for the Community
Action Food Pantry. Drivers received $1.50 off their service per can of food they donated to the pantry.
The Martins also were able to serve the community in other ways. In the past year, they hosted two foreign exchange students, one from Russia and one from China. Rod and World Class are also involved in the local AF Rotary Club, local schools, the Tour de Donut bike ride, the American Fork Chamber of Commerce, and the local BNI Prosper Chapter.
Outside of the family business, the Martins try and give back in other ways. Kim Martin is a local therapist who loves working with the American Fork community. “Kim fixes their hearts,” says Rod, “and I fix their cars.”

Go Green and Get GreenRecycle, renew and reuse are all
great buzz words in this new “green” environment, but do they make economic sense? Three local businesses prove that not only do they make environmental sense, they make financial sense.
Tammi and Michael Garlick have been renewing old furniture for years. They own a great downtown business “Finders Keepers.” The Garlicks have worked for years restoring used furniture in their garage. Tammi Garlick has a creative and artistic side that shines through when she’s restoring a piece of furniture. Michael Garlick is always
hunting at Deseret Industries or garage sales for great pieces that his wife can restore. Their store is filled with one-of-a-kind items. They also consign other craftsman’s wares including jewelry, home décor and baby items.
A new downtown store is Lisa Ashby’s Mona Lisa. Ashby hails from the northwest and wanted to find an old restored building where she could set up shop. She found that place in the old Jones Paint and Glass building on Main Street. The wood floors and used brick add to her store’s ambience. Mona Lisa’s is a great place to bring nice old furniture, home décor, or antiques. All
pieces are sold on consignment. She will be expanding her store to the other side of the building, adding consignment clothing to her offerings. Recently, Ashby and her staff had a “Help for Haiti” sale where all proceeds were donated to help the recent earthquake victims.
If you are looking to make a few extra bucks to help the family’s bottom line, be sure to stop by one of American Fork’s environmentally friendly businesses—Finders Keepers or Mona Lisa’s. Going green means extra green in your pocket!

PG Players to Present ‘Nunsense’Catholics Totally Rule in Dan Goggin’s
hilarious musical, “Nunsense,” which will be performed by the Pleasant Grove Players on March 5 - 22 (Friday, Saturday & Monday evenings as well as a single Saturday matinee on March 20) in the Keith Christeson Little Theater on the first floor of the PG City Library, 30 E. Center St. The evening shows will begin at 7:30 p.m. The Saturday matinee will begin at 3:00 p.m.
“Nunsense” is the story of five nuns of the Little Sisters of Hoboken who are staging a variety show. Fifty-two residents of the convent were accidentally killed when their cook, Sister Julia, Child of God, served them tainted vichyssoise soup while some of the nuns were away playing bingo. Upon discovering the disaster, Mother Superior had a vision to start a greeting card company to raise funds for the burials. The cards were a success, but the purchase of an entertainment center for the convent left them short of the funds needed to bury the final four sisters. With the deceased nuns on ice in the deep freeze, they decide to stage a variety show in the Mount Saint Helen’s
School auditorium to raise the necessary amount. Participating in the project are Mother Superior Mary Regina, a former circus performer who can not resist the spotlight; her competitive but dignified rival, second-in-command Sister Mary Hubert; Sister Robert Anne, a streetwise nun from Brooklyn; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is determined to be the world’s first ballerina nun; and wacky, childlike Sister Mary Amnesia, who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.
Howard Little, who is co-directing this production with his wife Kathryn, stated, “Nunsense is a perfect musical for our intimate setting. We are thrilled to find such incredible talent to bring these delightful characters to life.”
Prior to entering the convent, Sister Mary Regina was Luone Ingram, Sister Hubert was Janet Greenhalgh, Sister Robert Anne was Jen Handy, Sister Mary Leo was Kristen Rae Bradley, and Sister Mary Amnesia was Amber Kaye Smith.
This show is directed by Howard and Kathryn Little with musical direction by
Kathryn Laycock Little and choreography by Kristen Rae Bradley.
Tickets are $9 for adults and $8 for students and seniors ($1 less for the matinee.) Tickets can be purchased at the door for current and future shows from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on performance nights. And for the first time ever, tickets can now be purchased ONLINE at pgplayers.com <http://webmail.aol.com/30746-
111/aim-2/en-us/mail/pgplayers.com> . This production is supported by a grant from the Pleasant Grove Arts Commission.
No babes-in-arms or children under 5 will be admitted.
