SLC UT 8111 llMrfajpIlk 3 - Volume Eighty-Eight SPRING VI LLE, UTAH 81(i(!3 - January 13. 1983 Price 30' Number Two A remodeling project at Spr-ingville Spr-ingville Museum of Art is progressing progress-ing well under the direction of Harold Whiting, the city's chairman of Volunteer Action for Capital Projects, Pro-jects, who is coordinating the work of remodeling the stage area. City Council approved the remodeling project in its first meeting this year, a project which will add greatly to the Museum's effectiveness ef-fectiveness and stature, said Vern Swanson, director. The project will be completed with capital improvement improve-ment funds and volunteers to help the Museum meet accreditation standards of the American Association Associa-tion of Museums, Mr. Swanson explained. ex-plained. Kent Walker, local architect, has volunteered his services in this project pro-ject and has detailed plans' for the second floor stage area. Because no serious use has been made of the Museum's stage since the play, "The Red Plush Parlor," was produced pro-duced in 1968, other more direct uses to the Museum had been outlined by Mr. Walker. The Museum's board of directors and buildings and grounds committee have worked with the architect ar-chitect for about six months to prepare the area for a multi-purpose use, Swanson said. Because access to the second floor Clyde Gallery is limited by its isolation, isola-tion, the remodeling plans call for the removal of the stage and the cutting cut-ting of a door between the Clyde Gallery and the Little Theatre room. This would also make the "under used" Clyde Gallery meet present-day present-day building codes and standards required re-quired for the Museum to become accredited. Only about 20 percent of the people visiting the Museum's second se-cond floor ever make it to the Clyde Gallery, Mr. Swanson said, while estimating that this number would now quadruple. Museum officials consulted with Janet Bird and Jessie Dalton, two highly important devotees of live theatre in Springville, before giving the go-ahead to Eagle Scout candidate can-didate Mark Wheeler of Springville to bring a crew of volunteers to carefully remove the stage. Wheeler was successful in doing so, while at the same time salvaging the stage floor's 2" x 6" boards for use in the project. Mr. Lyle Thunen, David Glover and Bob Watson also con Chamber of Commerce sets membership drive Springville Chamber of Commerce Com-merce membership drive began this week with letters being hand delivered or mailed to businessmen and others in the community. An invitation is being extended to all citizens to join the organization.

Franklin Lambert is charged with stealing the contents of a package while he was a window clerk at the Springville Post Office last October. He is also alleged to have embezzled tag tributed many hours to see this part of the project through. The stage's front will be walled in, with a passageway eight feet high and six feet wide running nearly 14 feet between the two large galleries. On the south side of this passageway passage-way will be a small gallery-lounge for works on paper (watercolor, drawings and prints). This area will be carpeted instead of the Spanish tile used in the connecting passageway, and will feature comfortable com-fortable couches for Museum patrons to visit and read art magazines, which will also be available there. Musuem literature will also be available in this restful little gallery with its small pictures, Mr. Swanson said. On the north side of the passageway will be a storage area for custodial supplies, carts of folding chairs, and eight-foot-long tables. It will also eventually hold the air-handlers for the proposed climate-control system. This section will be entered through a beautiful oak door made by D. LaRell Johnson when the building was originally constructed in 1937. On either side of this door will be two display cabinets for the Museum's small objects of art, including Cyrus Dallin medals and very diminutive pictures. The existing stage exit stairway will be extended upward, allowing researchers to reach a second floor library which will be built just above the new gallery, the passageway and the storage area. It will run the entire en-tire length of the enclosure that used to be the stage roughly 31 feet by 13 feet. This new area will serve as the Museum's art book library, art slide library, and Utah Art Reference Library for the Robert Olpin Papers on Utah Art, as well as a classseminar room. This added floor will provide entirely en-tirely new space for the Museum at a fraction of the cost for building a new structure and provide an area for the Museum's interns and docents to research and study the permanent collection. Several professional carpenters have volunteered their help in this worthwhile project. But, according to Mr. Whiting, several more will be needed to complete the project by its March 15 deadline. The Little Theatre room will need that should be done and the changes that need to be made, says Matt Packard, president, in extending the invitation to join. Mr. Packard further states that the "Chamber is nothing more than people working together to make their community a better place in which to live and make a living." Those interested in joining may contact Sandra Snow, executive secretary, at the Chamber office, 175 S. Main Street. in Iowa, burglary Bountiful area, and the man was picked up in Iowa this week.

Hurricane winds take barn roof Hurricane force winds Saturday picked up the roof of a barn in Mapleton, sent it flying through the air like so much paper, and set it down in adjacent yards. In another incident, winds also picked up a parked camper and laid it against a nearby fence at the Clyde Ormond home. The winds, which reached hurricane force around 5 p.m. Saturday, picked up the roof on a barn on the Robert Rex residence, toppled the side of the barn, tore out a fence, and did considerable damage when the roof knocked over a brick wall and several small trees, and smashed the side of a parked truck. Part of the huge roof rolled across the ground digging a trench as it went and sent a large ball of mud through a window in the James Sumsion home. The roof broke up into sections when it struck the first tree and wall, then broke into several more sections when it struck a house, flew over the top of the house, and sent broken lumber and tin all over the front yard of the Dean Ivie home. Part of the roof also struck a pickup truck in the Ivie driveway.

Brent Haymond has signed a resolution designating the week of Jan. 16-22 as "Teacher Appreciation Week." The signing follows a resolution also signed by Governor Scott Matheson urging citizens to honor teachers that week. The resolution states that teaching is the most basic profession of all, underlying and providing background for all other professions, that data shows that teachers are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with their jobs for a variety of reasons, and that dissatisfied teachers are less effective ef-fective teachers. The Governor and Mayor urge positive public attitudes toward dedicated teachers and the publicizing of these positive attitudes at-titudes which are vital to the morale and satisfaction of teachers with their service. During the week they urge appropriate means and methods of recognizing creative and effective teachers be utilized to honor, show respect for, and publicize the value and worth of teachers.
