Show New Utah - Thursday, January 8, 2004 - Page 12 . Ml 71 : ' I -v. w ' . k , : is Clelia (Sheri Cluff) and Tansy (Beth Bryson) put bags over their heads in 'The Nerd." 'The Nerd' to open at Little Brown Theatre VIP Arts announces the opening of "The Nerd" at the Little Brown Theatre in Springville. Written by Larry Shue and directed by local theater veteran Cameron Sevy, "The Nerd" is purported to be one of the funniest plays ever written and is expected to bring the audience to its knees laughing. The plot of "The Nerd" revolves around an aspiring young architect, Willum Cub-bert, Cub-bert, played by Brent Anderson. Willum has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, played by Cameron Sevy, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously serious-ly wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that as long as he is alive "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you" so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of this 34th birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless 'nerd,' a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. Rick stays on and on, his continued presence pres-ence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself him-self contemplating violence, a dire development develop-ment which, happily, is staved off by the surprising 'twist' ending of the play. Some of the characters of the play have been double cast: Becky Gardner and Beth Bryson as Tansy, Tom Leake and Richard Keele as Axel, Ben Wake as Waldgrave, Sheri Cluff and Marie Knowlton as Clelia, Skyler Bagshaw and Aaron Leake as Thor. The show will begin Jan. 9 and run each Friday, Saturday and Monday evening through Feb. 7. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Little Brown Theatre, 239 S. Main in Springville. Ticket prices are $8.50 general admission, $7.50 student and seniors, $6 for children ages 3-11, $35.00 for a family. Ticket reservations may be made in advance by calling 489-3088. Tips given for home safety While folks are gearing up for their post-holiday cleaning efforts, it might be wise to add appliance safety checks to their "to do" list. Common home appliances appli-ances found in one's kitchen, utility closet or basement are capable of producing harmful levels of carbon monoxide (CO). Typically Typ-ically these appliances are used more frequently in the cooler months. Under certain cer-tain conditions these appliances appli-ances can produce combustion combus-tion pollutants that can damage one's health or cause death. Accidental CO poisoning claims about 1,500 lives annually and about one in five deaths involves eating or cooking equipment. The best defenses against carbon car-bon monoxide (CO) poisoning poison-ing in the home are making sure that heating and cooking cook-ing appliances are properly installed and maintained, and that CO alarms are installed on each level of a home-particularly near sleeping areas. Tips on how to check for carbon monoxide monox-ide hazards and a room-by-room safety audit are available avail-able at www.firstalert.com. When appliances and vents work properly and an adequate supply of carbon monoxide alarms are installed throughout the house, residents can help protect themselves and their families from this silent killer. Carbon monoxide can build up wherever flammable flamma-ble fuel is burned. Potential culprits of carbon monoxide in the home include: Gas stove and range top - Because these appliances appli-ances are often unvented, they can be common sources of CO in the home. To help prevent CO from seeping, regular cleaning of the range top, oven cavity and burners is recommended. Keeping these appliances maintained and in working condition can also help reduce the chance of CO poisoning. Gas furnace and water heater - Improper installation installa-tion or damage from basement base-ment flooding can cause both these appliances to produce harmful levels of CO. A clogged or dirty burner burn-er can also negatively affect the airfuel mixture. Soot buildup and a pilot light mostly yellow in color could be indicators that the fuel is burning incompletely. A qualified technician (usually (usual-ly employed by a local oil or gas company) can inspect the furnace and water heater to ensure the air and fuel mixture is adjusted correctly cor-rectly and to make sure the burner components are cleaned. Gas clothes dryer - A faulty or improperly installed dryer can be a CO hazard. Exhaust pipes clogged with lint can also cause CO to build up. Again, regular inspection and maintenance are good preventive pre-ventive measures, as is cleaning the lint filter after each use. While checking the common com-mon household appliances, the chimney and wood-burning wood-burning stove should also be inspected. If a bird's nest, leaves or soot are blocked in the chimney, CO can vent back into the home. Periodic inspection and cleaning by a chimney sweep company is recommended, recom-mended, and a screened cap placed over the top of a chimney can discourage nest building. Before starting start-ing a fire, be sure the flue is open and not clogged, and keep the flue open until the fire is completely out to allow the gases to safely escape through the chimney. chim-ney. Carbon monoxide alarms are the only means for homeowners to help detect this dangerous gas, because CO is invisible and odorless. Current models of UL-listed CO alarms include plug-in, battery-powered tabletop and combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, all of which are easy to install. The plug-in models plug into any standard outlet. Some of the plug-in models feature digital displays, which show elevated levels of CO in the air. Carbon monoxide alarms can be purchased at most major mass and home retailers. UVSC invites parents to meeting on January 15 In conjunction with the financial aid office, UVSC High School Relations is holding its annual parent event on Jan. 15 to provide an opportunity for prospective prospec-tive students and their parents par-ents to become familiar with the UVSC campus, financial requirements and academic resources.

"Roaming through the ancient Roman ruins, walking walk-ing through the towering cathedrals and admiring Arab-built synagogues was not what I was expecting," said Robert Hardman, who was part of the study-abroad study-abroad program last year.
