"Primary Children's had given her a blanket," Peacock said of her daughter. "The personal touches make what you're going through easier. Now, because of their care, she's completely well." Jay Stokes, president of Alpine Credit Union, has a one-year-old granddaughter who had to have eight hours of surgery at Primary Children's to repair her tiny heart when she was just five days old. Today, Savanna is doing well, weighs over 14 pounds, and has not had to have a follow-up operation. op-eration. "We were lucky," Stokes said. "You just can't say enough about Old cougar takes cub to BYU to experience first football game took my six -year -old grandson grand-son to a BYU football game recently. 1 thought it would do him good to be introduced to big-time big-time college football while he was young. Some may argue that BYU doesn't play big-time college football anymore, but I remain a loyal fan. 1 knew the game didn't hold much promise when nobody else wanted to go with me. After all, they were playing play-ing some 1-AA team from eastern Midwest Mid-west or something like that. But Scott was happy at the prospect of spending some time with Grandpa, and I'd rather spend time with him than just about anybody else 1 know. I forgot that Scott didn't know much about football. His father is British, and when you say football in that house they think you're talking about a whole other sport. I picked him up in Eagle Mountain late Saturday Satur-day morning and we hit some serious traffic jams on the way to the game. Once we got through Lehi's Main Street and onto 1-15, however, everything sped up to a crawL When we got to the stadium, the tailgate party was still on. so Scott played on the inflatable toys for a while and waited in line to get his face painted until he got tired of standing in line. Then he took me by the hand and led me to the stadium entrance. He was anxious to buy "a flag" before we got to our seats so he would have something to wave during the game. So we stopped at the store where they sell BYU merchandise for too much money. The place was packed and the registers were ringing. We couldn't find a flag, but Scott latched on to a stuffed cougar, and the two of us walked out ' of the store with him hugging a stuffed animal. It was most unfootbaD-like. We got to our seats about the time the band started to play its warm-up show leading into "The Star-Spangled Banner." The weather was perfect, the stands were, for the most part, empty. But over the next few minutes, the fans started pouring in, smelling a victory. Scott looked Primary Children's Hospital. They're the best.

I asked, as the home team took the kick-off and started to run a series of downs. "No." So I tried to explain in terms a first-grader first-grader who had never seen a football game could understand. "You see, what they are trying to do is ..." I looked down. He was staring at the sky. "They have four downs to move the ball ..." He was looking behind be-hind us by bending over backwards. "What are those?" he asked, looking at the loges. I grabbed my binoculars to see the action better, and Scott started reaching reach-ing for them. I handed them over as BYU moved down the field against their over-matched opponent. This was a lot better than the BYU game I saw last year, 1 thought. I looked down at Scott to see if he was enjoying en-joying the action, and found him staring at me through his binoculars. "Did you see that?" I asked. "How come you have so much hair in your nose?" he responded loudly during a kill in the action. And so we watched. We saw our team make a touchdowa At least I did. Scott saw the extra point kick, however. We saw some good passes and some bad ones. We did the "wave." Scott told me to sit down when I jumped to my feet just like everybody else in the stadium to watch a BYU defender who had snagged an interception make his way down the field. "It's OK if everybody's doing it," I explained a remark I may regret in about 10 years. As halftime neared, I told him we would watch the band march and go home. He told me he was ready to go now. And that was fine, too. We grabbed our stuff and made the long walk back to the car. About halfway there, Scott came over to me, hugging his stuffed cougar, and took my hand. Tax Continued from Page 1 If approved, the 72-year-old SCERA could expand to be Orem's central cultural arts hub an addition not supported by all people. Orem resident Bob Wright, an outspoken opponent of the RAP tax, said that although he is not against cultural arts, he does not belive the tax increase should be used to support the center. "Tax money should be used for things like parks because all people in the city use them where fewer people would use a cultural-arts center," he said. The Hale Center Theatre resides in an old, small buildings build-ings and theater owners hope the tax will provide funds to build a new theater which has been in the planning stages for several years. "The building that we're in is a funny, ugly little thing that we have so outgrown," Swenson said, adding that the theater lacks storage, seating, backstage, dressing room and restroom space. Some set and costume pieces are even left outside due to lack of room. Theater owners have launched a fund-raising campaign for the new theater but are about $2 million short of buying a new building. Although the Hale Center Theatre is financially self sufficient, suf-ficient, generally speaking, cultural arts organizations usually only generate about 40 percent of their operating income off of ticket sales. Not all RAP money would be kept just for cultural arts. About a fifth of the cash would be applied to create better recreational opportunities. opportuni-ties. The draft of the proposal propos-al also says that funding may be used for "parks, playing fields, trails and bike paths." Salt lake City has a similar arts tax which has significantly signifi-cantly benefited the opera, zoo, and other non-profit organizations. or-ganizations. Pumpkin Continued from Page 1 "As the vine began to grow Katlyn did little more than water it," said Boyd Wilkins, Katlyn's father. "But once the pumpkin appeared, ap-peared, she took much more interest in it." Katlyn reported that she didn't talk to her pumpkin. She didn't give it Miracle Grow. She didn't sing to it, play classical music or give it any other special treatment. As it got big enough, however, how-ever, she would go out and sit on it every day. As the pumpkin became extraordinarily extraordi-narily large, Katlyn's father suggested she enter it in the fair. When the time came for her to enter her exhibit, it took Katlyn's father, her 20-year-old brother and herself to carry the pumpkin to the car. Once at the fairgrounds, Katlyn paid $1 and filled out the entry forms. Again, it took the three of them to carry car-ry the pumpkin to the table. Looking at the other entries, Katlyn's pumpkin looked pretty big, but there was still a lot of hours left for other arrivals, so Katlyn couldn't be sure that her's was going to be the biggest. Katlyn and her family had to return to the fairgrounds after the judging to find the results. When Katlyn was asked how she felt when she returned and found the great big blue ribbon on her pumpkin, she replied, "I felt happy." When on Channel 4 News, Katlyn was asked, "Why do you think it grew so big?" Katlyn responded, "I gave it lots of love and kisses." UTA Continued from Page 1 "That sort of got me started," start-ed," Simmons said of those younger days under the hood. He is one of nine day shift mechanics at UTA's Timpa-nogos Timpa-nogos Operations Garage. "All of us pretty much know how to do everything, but right now they have me do tune-ups." Mechanics, clad in navy blue, work on one bus at a time. Quality is the key. "I like this job. Really. I'm not a sit-in-one-spot person," Simmons said as he walked the six bay shop, where like himself, the buses stop to rest, but not for long. m POOR |
