' ejrjg Unusual Christmas tree is vision of love By Jeanne Thayne City Editor When Jean and John Hulet moved into their condominium in the Sunrise Development at 120 North and 10th East in Orem several years ago, they soon discovered dis-covered their regular-size Christmas tree looked dwarfed in their living room with its high vaulted ceiling. Scouting the after-Christmas sales they found a magnificent 10-foot one. It was perfect. The decorations would have to be perfect, too, Jean knew. She had a vision of what the tree should look like. "I like the tree to blend with the living room setting," set-ting," she said. Pastel shades of peach, iridescent green and pearl with white accents would be just right. Not the usual Christmas colors but, "She's the decorator," says John. "My job is to put the tree up." Floral business owner dies Mildred "Mink" Farley Roh-bock, Roh-bock, 84, of Orem, died Friday, December 3, 1993 at her home in Orem.

Mark W. Stevens, a partner in the accounting firm, commended the city for its fiscal management. According to Phil Goodrich, Director of Administrative Services, Ser-vices, the city's reserves are at about 13-14 percent. Maximum allowed is 18 percent with a minimum min-imum of 5 percent, said Goodrich. Based on the report, City Manager Daryl Berlin recommended recom-mended the City continue to rebuild reserves, however. Other recommendations included the need to continue building in John enjoys standing back and watching as Jean's creative mind and nimble fingers transform trans-form the tree into a work of art, as beautiful as any at the Festival of Trees. Jean found large peach-colored peach-colored ornaments (also at after Christmas sales), along with some one-inch styrofoam balls at a craft store sale and some strands of pearl. Add some wide pale peach lace she'd almost forgotten' for-gotten' in her sewing supplies, and she had a start. Working steadily for nearly a ' month, the decorations began to come together. The styrofoam balls pushed onto miniature white lights became glowing miniature min-iature snowballs. The lace was perfect to create small fans caught at the base with handmade hand-made peach satin rosebuds with tiny green leaves, and shaped with fine wire woven through the outer edges. Using her skills with ceramics, Jean painted some y MILDRED F.

Attention will need to be given to upcoming State Legislature action ac-tion which potentially could further fur-ther erode the revenue base of the City, said Berlin. He also pointed out the need for more facilities and services as population grows. CITY GROWING The 1990 census shows Orem at 67,561 population. Current estimates es-timates put that figure at 72,756. Growth is predicted to continue through the end of the decade, said Goodrich. Revenues are reported at $21,258,013, an increase of $2,707,643 from last year. . The most significant change in revenues was an increase mainly due to interest payments to the General Fund from the small angels, for filler, she says. But the focal point of the tree are the dozens of white hand-crocheted hand-crocheted bells tied with iridescent irides-cent cellophane rope spread into bows. The bells are crocheted, then starched heavily with special spe-cial craft starch and shaped over a bell-shaped cone, also from the craft store. Each is sprinkled with glitter to create a special shiny effect. The bells take about half an hour to starch and dry, said Jean. The pearl strands are tied into three-layer cascades which shimmer shim-mer from top to bottom and bring all the decor together. Beneath the tree are several handmade ceramic deer, a sleigh and a teddy bear, also in shades of peach. Each table in the room has a special ceramic article or a treasure purchased "at the sales." We love Christmas, says Jean. The kids love to come and see what's new. The children and grandchildren also receive many gifts of love made by Jean or John, who is a craftsman himself with a coping saw, hammer and paint. At the Hulet's, as at many homes this Christmas, the front porch, the yard and the roof line of lights, shouts a bright and merry Christmas to all. Inside thf home are special treasures that tell of the unique love the season brings to family and friends.
