Member Utah Press Association Weekly Press Association National Newspaper Association Springville Museum of Art has been awarded a $19,500 grant from the Utah Arts Council for the Fiscal year 1982 -198:. The Council, a state agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development, awarded funds totaling $836,900 to 59 arts organizations throughout Utah. The awards were made under the Utah Arts Council's annual grants program. This program awards funds in discipline areas for projects which impact individual communities or the entire state. All grants must be matched mat-ched by the graniee on a combination cash and in-kind basis. In discussing the grants awards JoAnn Freed, Chair of the Utah Arts Council commented: 'The grants awarded to a variety of Utah arts organizations represent 52 percent of the Council's budget. That's serious business, and in my opinion the Board of Directors, the committees and panel members once again exercised ex cellent judgment and served the state of Utah well. Even though the Legislature was faced with a tight budget for fiscal year '83, they wisely allocated a modest increase in the arts budget making it possible to extend financial and technical assistance ane support to the arts in Utah. With those and federal dollars the Council has been able to continue funding our longstanding long-standing treasures as well as to assist some of the emerging and diverse groups seeking an audience in Utah's rich cultural scene." The total of $836,900 was awarded in the following discipline areas: Dance Arts. $178,100; Literary Arts, $19,900; Music Arts. $219,000; Special Projects, $70,500; Theatre Arts, $144,400; Visual Arts- Architecture - Environmental Arts and Design, $105,000; and the Utah Arts Festival, $30,000. The total also includes $70,000 to be allocated under the approaching September 1, 1982, and February 1, 1983, deadlines of the community outreach grant program. letters from our readers Saddened father hopes to help others in similar situations 0 mm Volunteer workers for the Springville Museum of Art membership telethon scheduled to take place next week are Yvonne Johnson, MarLou Irvine, anil Frances Ferine, seated from left, who try out telephones at Valtek from where the telethon will be conducted.

Ovid City needs questionnaires Dear Kditor: A few months ago my hcloved son. Kip. was awarded the Most Inspirational In-spirational Track Team Member award at Capital High School. He had maintained a 4.0 grade average in school and was well respected by his fellow students as well as his instructors. Kip loved people and they loved him. Kip and I often talked of his future, and his highest hopes were to help humanity in a constructive manner. He had aspirations of attending at-tending a college which could educate him in a manner so his humanitarian human-itarian goals could be reached. Kip has been an exemplary model for the Mormon faith of which he was a member. The bishops and elders often would remark lo me what a fine example Kip was of what the LDS Church hoped its youth would be. Four weeks ago Kip committed suicide because he believed he could not live up to the demands and ideals of the Mormon church in order to attain their highest kingdom in heaven.

If it were possible I would stay alive for only you, for I really only love you, but it is not possible. I must first love myself, and I do not. The strange feeling of darkness and self-hate overpowers all my defenses. I must unfortunately un-fortunately yield to it. This turbulent feeling is only for a few to truly understand. I feel lhat you do not comprehend the immense feeling of self-hatred I have. This is the only way I feel, that I can relieve myself of these feeling now. Carry on with your life and be happy. I love you more than words can say. Your son. Kip I S", fry I i ought to know better by oneita sumsion A few years ago when nobody but a salty old farmer would dare set foot out of the house in a pair of bib overalls, I spent at least an hour going go-ing from store to store here searching for some special article I needed to complete my sewing. (Can't even remember what it was now, maybe a zipper of a certain color or something like that.) Recently, it was noted that gross taxable sales in Springville in 1981 showed a five percent decline from 1980. This was the first annual an-nual decline for Springville for many years. , Total Utah County sales increased 8.5 percent for the same year. In 1975, sales in Springville represented four percent of total retail sales in the county. In 1981, that proportion slipped to 2.9 percent. We as citizens continue to hear the cry, "Shop at home. Shop Springville first. Support your local businesses." I was taught as a child to be obedient. Consequently, Consequent-ly, every time I shop somewhere else, I break out in a cold sweat of guilt. I think of all my tax pennies going to support another city, and renew again my pledge to shop at home first even if I have to go somewhere else later. During World War II my brother was looking for a new suit for graduation or the prom or something. He went to every store in Provo and came up empty-handed. empty-handed. On his way back to Sanpete, he stopped in Jack's Toggery here and found just what he was looking look-ing for. I wasn't quite so lucky with my zipper hunt. When I had finally checked the last store in town that could possibly carry that little item I was looking for, I exclaimed ex-claimed in disgust, "I don't know why I waste my time looking in Springville. They never have anything." "Whadaya mean?" retaliated the clerk. "We're the only store in the county with bib overalls." IK Nola Palfreyman Kcuutification chairman It looks as if our clean up campaign is going to be a big success. We have only until Saturday to finish getting our rubbish out on the street if we want the city trucks to pick it up. After lhat it's haul your own or pay the city to haul it away. In checking with Carl Curtis from the Streets Dept., he says the National Guard hauled about 60 big truck loads last weekend, and to date, April 13, the city has hauled 120 with at least thai many more to go. In jest, Mr. Curtis said, "Nola the response has been so good we may not have lo have a clean up next year. They've put it all out now." One can't help but look with pride at the streets and lots that are all cleaned and ready for April inspection-- but there are some that still have work lo be done on them to bring them up to par. We urge property owners to please be mindful of their responsibility. One neighborhood chairman visiting in the east end of town was told by the citizens in the area that they would clean a vacant lot on their street because it was their children who played there. It's things like this we love to hear. That's the kind of cooperation that our neighborhood program is all about. Our program for the schools didn't catch on as w ell as w e had hoped, but this is the first it has been tried in a good many years, so hopefully it will go over belter in the years lo come. Mrs. MarLou Irvine contacted all P.T.A. presidents of our schools and ask that they supply light refreshments after the students cleaned their grounds. Then they were asked if they would care to lake part in our youth program and plant flowers some place on the school grounds. This is her report: High school- they will be given refreshments by the city afler they have helped in downtown areas. They will also try to plant flowers. Junior high, no treats, but (he P.T.A. w ill buy the flowers. Middle school, no treats; I hey have a landscape project going, so no flowers. Sage Creek, yes treat, yes flowers; Brookside, no I real, flowers maybe; Granl. no I real, no flowers; Art City, yes treat, yes flowers. Two groups from the high school will be helping (he Parks Dept., under the direction of Richard Fox; one group lo prepare soil and plant sod on North Main, another to clean under the South Entrance underpass. un-derpass. On April 21 we will have more groups from the high school to help with unfinished areas. First foods for a kitten can be cooked cereals or crumbled cold varieties, such as shredded or flaked wheat. Milk is a must. Scrambled eggs and chopped raw beef will make a hit. 1 . mmmMmmmi Only about 700 of the 2,500 quest ionaires mailed out to residents of Springville with the March utilities bills have Ix-en returned.
