Pbns For 1982 TJliss;;. mm vr'-w..-w---- - w--w- The Orem Boosters are now in full swing preparing for another outstanding Miss Orem Scholarship Pageant. Paulina Jolley has been named as the general director of the 1982 pageant. Mrs. Jolley has served in this assignment for several years and has been responsible for building the Miss Orem Pageant into one of the best in the State of Utah. She has also served as the official hostess for the Miss Utah candidate as she has entered the Miss America contest, and brings a wealth of experience to the local affair. She announced an-nounced to the Booster officers that the theme for the 1982 pageant will be "BROADWAY TODAY -YESTERDAY " Jerry Elison is again involved with the staging of the production and is designing some outstanding stage settings to follow the theme. Carol Otteson and Connie Barker are assisting Mrs. Jolley with production details. Other community leaders who have accepted assignments for the pageant this year include: Winston Crawford, Ernie Summers, Katie Harris, Vera Nielsen, Donna Richards, Jess Allen, Clayton Bishop, Harold McCown, Grant Butler, Linda Farnsworth, Francine Christensen, Kelly Thayer, Kelli Johnson, Debbie Spencer, and Diane Brereton. The 1982 Miss Orem Scholarship Pageant is scheduled for Saturday, April 24th in the auditorium at the Orem High School. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. and tickets will be $3.00 for general admission seats. The current Miss Orem is Debbie Cowan. Ernie Summers is serving as president of the group, with Glen Zimmerman as the City Council representative and Forrest Henderson from the Orem City Administrative staff. The Orem City Council denied a request, Tuesday night, by the Boys Baseball Organization for $8,500 to partially fund the program. John DePalma, representing -the organization, said the money would be used for the purchase of protection equipment, primarily. As part of budget reductions made last year, support for the PAULINA JOLLEY baseball program was eliminated and no money was placed in this year's budget for the organization. The council decreed that all these types of programs must be self-supporting,-receiving no money from the city. Councilman Glen Zimmerman said, "Are we opening Pandora's Box." He pointed out that if money is provided to the baseball league, other sports such as soccer, football and women's leagues would be entitled to request financial support, as well. City Manager Daryl Berlin agreed, saying that the city soccer league also needs money, due to growth demand. The council directed DePalma to research other alternatives and return to the council for possible reconsideration in a few weeks. Orem High Present "The Mouse Trap Orem High Drama Department will present the murder mystery "The Mouse Trap" next week in the school's little theater.

The play will open March 11, 7:30 p.m. and continue on March 12, and the 15th through the 18th. Tickets will be sold at the door and are also available from any member of the cast. Animal Licensing Fees Set Due to interpretation and enforcement problems over the past several years, the Orem City Council adopted a new animal control ordinance and established fees for services, Tuesday night. Fees adopted include a $2.50 charge for licensing most animals, however, animals which have been spade, or neutered will only cost one dollar. The animal control ordinance is found in Chapter 6 of the Orem City Code. Orem Requests Citizen Input The second of two public hearings on the Community Development Block Grant will be held on Tuesday, March 9, 1982, at 8:00 p.m. in the Orem City Council Chambers. A public hearing was held March 2nd in which a large group of residents presented proposals and suggestions on how to spend this years $492,000 grant. Information from this public hearing' along with other requests received are ' being considered by a citizens committee set up to gather citizen input and make recommendations to the City Council on the Block Grant. At the March 9 public hearing this citizens committee will make a formal t proposal to the City 'Council and the grant expenditure will be determined at that time. All those who have requested money from this years Block Grant are invited to attend along with all other interested in-terested residents of the community. Questions concerning the Block Grant program should be addressed to the Orem Planning Dept., . 224-7058. Citizens Offer Community Block Grant Suggestions Hundreds of citizens attended a public hearing to discuss possible areas in which to spend $492,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) money for 1982-83. Brent Garlick of the Orem Planning Department Depart-ment explained that in past years the money has been used for such things as street improvements, parks, low income housing, housing rehabilitation and in 1977 it was used in the completion of Fire Station No. 2. Garlick said that the money may be used in many areas, including land acquisition, parks, neighborhood centers, solid waste, flood and drain, public services, economic development and other public service and public works projects. A number of Orem residents offered suggestions as to how to spend the money. The suggestions ranged from sewer and water improvements im-provements to cleaning up a drain pond near 1450 South Main, which many residents indicated creates a traffic hazard, child hazard and mosquito problem One suggestions was for sidewalks to be constructed con-structed on lfiOO N. between 400 W. and 500 E. to accommodate Northridge Elementary students. Safety was the primary consideration in this proposal, as it was in a suggestion for sidewalks on 1200 N. for students of the Windsor Elementary School. A spokesman for the Windsor proposal explained that there is no bus service to Windsor and all children must walk. Two other proposals were for sidewalk, curb and gutter on 200 E. and on 400 S. Other suggestions were offered, as well, and the City Council agreed to consider each fairly. No action was taken at the hearing, but a second hearing to make final determination of where the money should be spent will be held March 9 at 8 p.m. The new cost participation approved by the council last week will be in included in any final decision. This policy makes it possible for the council to require citizens who benefit from CDBG Projects to repay, to some degree, the money. but the ambulance service would transport patients to the necessary medical facility. Paramedics pointed out that three vehicles would respond to any emergency call under this program: the ambulance, a police unit and the paramedic vehicle. A nurse representing emergency room service expressed concern for the interruption of patient care in the program, during transport. If the proposal had been adopted, the city would have lost approximately $50,000 in revenue from current city ambulance service, however, it would no longer have been necessary to purchase new ambulances or supplies. The council, in turning down the proposal, indicated in-dicated that they may consider the proposal at some future time. Some Taxpayers Are Cheating Themselve The Internal Revenue Service today said that some taxpayers are overpaying heir 1981 income tax by not taking advantage of the new interest and dividend exclusion. Taxpayers may exclude up to a total of $200 in qualifying interest and dividents, $400 for a married couple filing a joint return, from income on 1981 federal income tax returns. Financial institutions generally send taxpayers a Form 1099, Statement for Recipients of Interest Income, or a similar statement showing the amount of interest earned during 1981. The IRS said, however, that some financial institutions may have incorrectly noted on the Fnm 1099 wheather the interest earned qualifies for the exclusion. Qualifying for the exclusion is interest paid by U.S. banks, credit unions, domestic building and loan associations, and other saving or thrift in-, stitutions if the deposits or accounts are insured under federal or state law. Interest on domestic! corporate obligations, interest'on taxable obligation of the federal government or a state or a political; subdivision of a state and interest earned on participation par-ticipation shares of a trust established under federal law also qualifies for exclusion. However,, interest paid to taxpayers by individuals cannot be excluded. ; Elks Lodge Homes Two Teeners of the ftlonlh Miss Stephanie Ann Cowan and Steven Shane Littlefield have been named Teenagers of the Month, it was announced today by Provo Elks Lodge No. 849.
