Show Page Two - The Springville Herald - March 20, 1991 EDITORIAL Don' miss the opportunity to see 'Into the Woods'! If you have been to see the Springville Playhouse production produc-tion of "Into the Woods," you left singing and you left wondering wonder-ing how anyone can remember all those words to song and script and say them so fast, and you left having learned again that when you get your wish, it doesn't always make you happy. You will leave with many other thoughts and feelings too. This Broadway musical is packed with messages and fun and the Springville Playhouse docs it all very well. "Into the Woods" is a musical exloration into the childhood fairy talcs about Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Ridinghood. The writers include a fairytale of their own about a baker and his wife and their wish to remove a spell from their house so they can have a child. The characters in all the talcs meet as they travel into the woods to get their wish. From there the stories enlcrtwine and the characters learn there is life after "happily ever after." The Springville Playhouse is not a large theatre group nor are they professional. The fact that they even considered taking on a production like "Into the Woods" is amazing. The j are one of the first amateur theatre groups to produce it. If you haven't seen it, there are three more presentations, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, March 21 , 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m. in the Springville Playhouse Civic Center Theatre. Don't miss it. One playgoer said that he had seen the Broadway production produc-tion and the touring company version. "They were good, but I couldn't hear all the words. I loved it here in the intimate setting of the Springville Playhouse and I got so much more out of it." We congratulate Jay Knight, director, the actors and actresses and all those who have worked so hard to bring this fine production to Springville! CoEnmiffee working on upgrading Springville's business district The Springville Downtown Revitalization Committee (DRC) was formed in December, Decem-ber, 1990, after representatives from the Utah State Historical Society and Utah Heritage Foundation presented the "National "Na-tional Main Street" concept of revitalizing small towns' business busi-ness districts to the mayor, city council, chamber of commerce, senior citizens, Kiwanis and businessmen. The DRC committee consists con-sists of: Clarence and Eleanor Zornes (Town & Country Gifts), Phil Hansen (Hansen Upholstery), Matt Packard (Central Bank and city council), coun-cil), Craig Lott (Kearns Hotel and Senior Hotel), Chip Rcy-. nolds (Kolob Lumber), Chris Englund (Englund Hardware), Dean Allan (Economic Director) Direc-tor) and Donna Breckenridge (Historic Preservation Commission). Com-mission). Since the first meeting in December, the DRC has met every other week to discuss topics affecting the prosperity of Springville's downtown businesses. Some of these problems pro-blems are lack of parking, lack of retail businesses, absentee landlords, poor physical condition condi-tion of some of the buildings, high utility rates, and vacant store fronts. The DRC has invited guest speakers to almost every meeting meet-ing in an effort to determine what other towns have done to solve their downtown problems, prob-lems, what assistance is available avail-able from the state, what Springville citizens need and want in their downtown, and gprtngmUe Herald (USPS 513-060) Published Weekly by Art City Publishing Co., Inc. 161 South Main Street Springville, Utah 84663 Phone 489-5651 Publisher .

Thanks, 'Info f ho Woods' is outstanding! Congratulations to Springville Spring-ville Playhouse and an outstanding outstan-ding cast for their production of "Into The Woods". It was a most ambitious undertaking, which must have taken many, many hours of dedicated practice prac-tice to synchronize things so well. It was a very different musical play. Springville is fortunate to have those with such talent who are willing to give of their time and expertise to bring us such a production. Thanks to the cast of 22 and all the crew and board of directors, for it took all of them.

I have enjoyed working here and have chosen to rear my children here. Now we have the chance to give Utah County something that will continue to make it a great place to live. The proposed bond election to build a Utah Valley Special Events Center on campus of Utah Valley Community College Col-lege grants us a window of opportunity that we cannot afford to pass by. A one percent per-cent higher tax on prepared Con of a different color Dear Editor: A recent news item about an increase in federal grazing fees contained comments by Freshman Congressman Bill Orton. While reading Orton's comparisons; grazing fees vs National park fees, recreation and wilderness fees, I was reminded re-minded of my mother's uncle Stuck, R., U.R. that is. He was a master of the spoken word. He was most famous for selling snake oil to the Escrow Indians. Indi-ans. His sales program was based on the patter of used car, insurance in-surance and encyclopedia salesmen. "If you can't convince con-vince them, confuse them." "If they are not dazzled by your brilliance, baffle them with cow pies." The point of this is that national park and wilderness fees are to defray in some small way the cost of managing these agencies that serve all of the people of the country. The grazing fee issue is totally a cow of a different color. In Schedule for spring burning in county areas Utah County Fire Marshall torn Wroe announced a 30-day period between March 30 an May 30 for people to burn clippings, bushes, plants and prunings from trees incident to property cleanup activities in Utah County.

UVCC will be building a $10 million center on campus in the next two years. It will be a wonderful PE facility. Yet, for passage of a $7.7 million bond, we can add to that an 8,500-seat arena that will avail itself to many sports events, high school tournaments, cultural cul-tural events, church meetings, trade shows, concerts, rodeos and conventions. The center will allow us to gather as a community without having to travel long distances and the opportunities for educational this case, "We The People" are making a handsome contribution contribu-tion to the bottom line profit of the cattle industry of the Western States. Cattle people say that $8.70 per animal unit is not right. Would they agree that $1.81 per animal unit is somewhat low considering what private grazing costs are across the country? Why not allow a small, reasonable rea-sonable increase in grazing fees to be implemented? Why not let cattle grazers pay for the chaining of native trees instead of demanding that the landlord (you and me) pay for it. It is always painful when someone's bull is gored, but maybe some backing away from the public trough is in order just now. In the meantime, mean-time, when Bill Orton starts a dazzling performance with numbers, try to keep your eye on the walnut shell that covers the pea. R.C.

The center will attract tour-j tour-j ist dollars and bring in greater revenues from sales tax and I room tax. Local businesses will also take advantage of the new market. Real estate value will increase as will employment, and dollars that were usually spent in Salt Lake County will stay right here at home. Another major benefit is that at least two-thirds of the operation and maintenance costs will be paid by the state. The other third would be paid with rental fees earned at the center. There is currently nowhere in Utah County for businesses and groups to meet. The American Am-erican Fork Tabernacle holds 2,200, and the BYU Marriott Center holds over 22,000. They're either too big or too small. Utah County companies end up traveling to Salt Lake City to hold their meetings in the Salt Palace because of a lack of suitable facilities here. The facility will serve a student population at UVCC that is largely made up of Utah County residents. UVCC is becoming the college our children chil-dren will look to for their education. edu-cation. As fewer and fewer Utah County students attend school at BYU, the load at UVCC will demand its consideration consid-eration as a four-year institution. institu-tion. Without proper facilities this move cannot be made. This activities center will help facilitate a future move such as this. Utah County needs to keep up with the times so that our children and our children's children will be able to enjoy growing up and living here as we have. This valley will not get another chance to accomplish accom-plish a task such as this. Once again, we cannot afford to let this window of opportunity to pass us by. Ed Pinegar .
