Show June 10, 1992 - The Springville Herald - Page Three "Quilters" stitched together By RaNell S. Howlett Despite the Mapleton City Council denying a request to annex 85 acres of land along Hobble Creek to Springville, property owners in the area continue con-tinue to plague the council with petitions and variances. And last week's council meeting was no different. Some of the property areas are difficult to reach from Mapleton. Mayor Everet Pred-more Pred-more and council members voiced concern about the land and the potential tax loss to the city if any' annexation was approved. Current building codes make it difficult and sometimes impossible impos-sible to get a building permit at the present time. One home in the area was built illegally said Councilman Coun-cilman Cecil Hutchings. A landlocked land-locked piece of property in the area, causing building permit problems for Doug Witney, was brought before the council for consideration of annexation to Springville. The five-acre plot, given Witney by his father, has limited access along a dirt road. Witney wants to build a home and develop the rest of the acre age for agricultural use only. Due to the location of the property, proper-ty, he asked the council to consider con-sider annexing the land to Springville, Spring-ville, so services could be provided provid-ed by them. Witney feels that Mapleton cannot supply water, fire, or other needed services easily. Councilman Norman Barker agreed the area is difficult to service and the cost to put a road into the area would be very expensive. ex-pensive. He suggested trading the plot to the county for land to the west of Mapleton. Hutchings expressed his concern con-cern that other people would want to do the same and it would set a precedent. Witney said property owners in the area would not release land for a legal road, thus effectively land-locking him. Hutchings pointed out that the council can't do things just for today. Future planning is the problem that needs to be addressed. ad-dressed. Councilman Wave Miguel said that it was too expensive to put a road into the area. The high banks would make it difficult to put in sewer and water lines and would be a big expense to the city. It was pointed out by Predmore that Mapleton would lose approximately approx-imately $1500 a year per piece of property if it was annexed to Springville. He said he would rather issue a building permit than lose the 85 acres to Springville. Spring-ville. Councilman Wynn Everett also voiced concern about giving away property at the loss of needed tax dollars. The original northern boundary between the two cities was decided decid-ed on by engineers who work from point to point rather than the potentially shifting boundary lines that could occur if Hobble Creek flooded. It has caused access problems for those on the north side of the creek. The council felt a bridge across the creek would be cost prohibitive at this time. Hutchings reminded the council that once an exception is made, others will ask for building code deviations.

Witney was advised to present his petition to the Planning Commission Commis-sion and no action was taken by the council. The council unanimously approved ap-proved the $671,000 1992-93 budget. The fiscal year runs from July 1, 1992 to June 30, 1993. Predmore pointed out that property tax figures published in an article in the Provo Herald were in error. He said the mil-levy mil-levy in Mapleton was 1.6230 in 1991, with the state average 1.893. The city sewer system bid is in the hands of the state. A public hearing will be held in the near future to decide whether or not to proceed with plans. Garbage can manufacturers cannot deliver the new cans in time for the July 1 deadline, so the new deadline will be September Sep-tember 1 . At that time, no other garbage receptacles will be permitted per-mitted for use at curbside. Miguel invited everyone to attend the Concert in the Park, June 6. Plans are underway for the town 24th of July celebration. The shade tree project is going well, he said. The merry-go-round broke down and has been removed. Miguel said it was thought to be beyond repair. He said the recreation board has reported that tennis classes will start soon and backstops are in the process of being installed. The four backstops will cost $24,000 to $25,000. A public hearing will be held July 7 concerning the width of new construction on the 1600 West road from 1200 North to the highway. The planning commission com-mission is recommending the road be downgraded to 56 feet wide or less. Stairmaster Your best exercise machine may be just a step away.

Howlett The Art City Days calendar is crowded with a variety of activities, activi-ties, but a must see is "Quilters." The musical-ably directed by Roger Nelson, musical direction by Leslie Walker and imaginative choreography by Debbie Allred-almost Allred-almost makes time stand still. The scenes are many, short, varied and blend into each other. The evening goes by much too quickly. The set design, by Roger Nelson, Nel-son, is sparse and unique. Risers are in turn, beds, the ground, etc. Adding atmosphere to the tiny theater are handmade quilts hung behind the audience. The cast is composed of seven women, most playing a variety of parts (without costume changes) as the stories of 16 quilt blocks are told. The music is interwoven as a thread through the stories holding the piece together. There are 20 numbers in the production, from calypso to religious to just plain fun. "The Needle's Eye" has to be heard to be believed. Sometimes using an entire song, sometimes a chorus or just a line, the music adds an important impor-tant dimension to the play. Accompanist Ac-companist Debbie Augustus with Catharine Overson on percussion are unobtrusively in the background. back-ground. The audience almost forgets they are there as they accompany the actors in song and dance. They accomplish their tasks well-they accompany, they support, they do not star. The play is about quilts and lives and womenhow they intertwine. inter-twine. From birth to death, good times and bad, calamity and fun, birthdays and weddings, madness, the "curse" and even abortion-all tastefully done. All the women in this play are accomplished singers. Each had a chance to show her talent in solos, duets or ensemble. The harmony in several numbers was outstanding, many accapella. The mother of the group, Ann Moyle, was the only one to portray por-tray only one character throughout the production. Her portrayal of a stoic pioneer woman wom-an who took refuge in her quilting quilt-ing was most convincing. Debbie Allred brought a variety vari-ety of talents to the production as she also did the choreography. Switching easily from one person to another, from comedy to tragedy, trage-dy, her vocal skills and dancing added much to the performance. Marni Ashby with her twinkling twin-kling eyes and beautiful vocal work, just about stole the show, as she became "Pa", a Baptist minister, a bride, or a teasing schoolboy. The deep, rich voice of Leanna Ray Crockett, added a wonderful quality to ensemble pieces. She brought a depth to her characters that were poignant reminders of what our pioneer foremothers went through. Pixish Catryna Day was a delight as she danced and sang her way through the building of the quilt and one of the highlights is her "baptism." Julie Gritton's beautiful voice was in evidence in several solos, "Where I Was Born," and ensemble numbers. num-bers. The astounding vocal and acting range of petite Laura Ann Harvey, was in evidence as she slipped from part to part, convincing con-vincing the audience of who she was. Her portrayal of a mother expecting her 16th child is unforgettable. unfor-gettable. The only negative to the evening eve-ning was the audience. Half of it wasn't there. It is an evening to laugh, to cry, to clap your hands, to make you ponder, to be grateful for what you have, to enjoy. If you've already gone, tell a friend or better still, take one or two and see it again. If you haven't seen it, GO! Other performances will be presented at Springville High School Little Theater on June 12, 13 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. Sharp! Admission: Adults $4, senior citizens and children $3, family tickets $18.
