St. Francis of Assisi Continued from front in planning and building the new center, which will serve a Catholic population f just 2 of the over 200,000 people, now residing within the parish boundaries. The new Catholic center, located at 50 East 500 North in Orem, will seat 500 people in the 15 masses which are held throughout the week. The number of masses conducted con-ducted in the Spanish language are reflective of the increase in the local lo-cal Hispanic population, during the past few years. For the time being, the church will function in the facility's multipurpose multi-purpose building, which includes one large hall, several other meeting meet-ing rooms, and a full basement, divided di-vided into a number of rooms.

An elevated cross is affixed at the top of the east wall of the building. build-ing. The church will have archways and a bell tower, as well. According to Father Flegge, the second component of the church's architecture will be the chapel, connected con-nected to the east end of the struc-. struc-. ture by a hallway. Work on the remainder of the Catholic center is expected to be completed within the next five years. Now that the work on the first phase of the Orem Catholic Center Cen-ter has been completed, the debt on the facility is about $500,000, according to Pastor Flegge. Continued solicitations are being be-ing made for funds to retire the debt. "We all await the day when our Chapel will be constructed adjoining adjoin-ing this building on the East Side," he said. "That will be the day I am waiting wait-ing for more than any other. The longer it takes to raise funds to pay off the present structure, the longer it takes before we can build the Chapel."

Photo by Mark A. Philbrick. Gershwin's "Crazy for You" to show Tony-winning style at SCERA SCERA will "tap" into the tradition tra-dition of the great American song and dance musical when David Whitlock reprises his signature role in "Crazy for You" at the SCERA Showhouse in Orem. George Gershwin's 1930's "Girl Crazy" was reworked and updated up-dated as "Crazy for You" in 1992 and became the hot ticket on Broadway. Not only did audiences flock to the comedy of love and mistaken identity in the Wile West but eh critics loved it, too, awarding it with the Tony for the best musical with additional awards for costumes and choreography. chore-ography. SCERA will show its version of that magical production March 17 through April 8 (Thursdays, Fridays, Fri-days, Saturdays and Mondays) under the skills of directoractor David Whitlock. Shows will begin at 7:30 p.m., and tickets for $10 are available weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at SCERA Center, 745 South State Street, Orem, by 'calling 225-ARTS or 225-2569 on at the door. "It's romantic, marvelous and full of life," Whitlock says of the show. "It's got all those wonderful wonder-ful characteristics of musical theater: the-ater: witty dialogue, fast-paced dance numbers, great characters and memorable music." Much of the liveliness of the show is contained in the tap dancing, danc-ing, and this element of the production pro-duction has Whitlock particularly excited. "The choreography is only as good as the choreographer, and with Carlos Encinias (principal (princi-pal choreographer) and Sunny Claitor, we have some amazing dancing. Casting dancers skilled enough for the show was challenging, chal-lenging, not because we couldn't find the dancers who had the deep skills, but because we had to turn Provo man wrecks stolen A 20-year-old Provo man was arrested Saturday night for driving driv-ing under the influence of alcohol alco-hol after the car he was driving, a 1988 black Mercury, slammed into two parked cars and a fence at 685 W. 120 N. in Orem. There was substantial damage indicated in the report, but no dollar amount was mentioned. After the man was booked into the Orem City jail, it was discovered discov-ered that he had a Provo warrant on him for auto burglary and a second warrant for alcohol charges. On Sunday morning, the 1988 Mercury, which had been totaled in the accident on Saturday night, reported as having been stolen from the area of 400 S. 900 W. A busy weekend of vehicle auto burglaries and break-ins was also reported by Orem police. Nine cases of auto-related burglary bur-glary or damage were reported. In five of those incidents, items were stolen. Four of the vehicles had been left unlocked, two in parking lots, one in a residential area and one in a garage. The fifth vehicle was forcibly entered by breaking the back window. Item3 reported stolen in the various incidents were a stereo, a DC player and cell phone, two wallets and a purse. Four cars were broken into an damaged, but nothing was reported re-ported stolen. A Ford Mustang convertible suffered a reported so many people away. The talent in this valley is really amazing." Also adding to the winning mixture mix-ture are George and Ira Gershwin's unforgettable favorites: favor-ites: "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Embraceable You," "I Can't Be Bothered Now," "I Got Rhythm," "They Can't Take That Away From Me" and "Nice Work If You Can Get It." "Maybe this isn't the best way to express this, but Gershwin music is like a fungus - a good fungus if there is such thing - that gets inside you and just keeps growing and growing until you are consumed by the wonderful-ness wonderful-ness of.it all." Whitlock stars as Bobby Child, the rich son of a New York banking bank-ing family who is told to go to Deadrock, Nev., and foreclose an ailing theater. It's love at first sight when he runs into spunky Polly Baker, the theater owner's daughter and the only woman left in the forlorn town - who doesn't realize, through, that he's the heartless banker she's vowed to get even with. The truth of his identity eventually comes out, and he must disguise himself as Broadway producer Mr. Zangler to put on a show to save the theater the-ater and save his reputation with Polly. As is inevitable with such a premise, chaos and hilarity soon reign. "But it's bliss that eventually reigns supreme," Whitlock adds. "You can't have a good romantic musical comedy without a happy ending." Also in major roles are Melinda Stailey as Polly, Mark Pulham as Bela Zangler, Rodney Elwood and David Morton as Lank Hawkins, Celine Morton as Irene Roth, H.K. Baird as Everett Baker, and $500 in damage when someone cut through the soft top of the car; a truck received $1000 of damages dam-ages when someone, pried open the driver's side window; the trunk of a car was opened and papers were scattered early Friday Fri-day morning, no damage amount Lindon & Orem Residents You can now submit news releases: Local Events, Missionaries, Eagle Scouts, Weddings, Letters to the Editor, Etc...

Pulham, who was recruited for the role, says he guessed he played such a good drunk in SCERA's summer production of "State Fair" that they decided he could be the resident goofball again as the girl-chasing Zangler. "It's a fun show to be in, and the tap dancing is breathtaking," he says. "I don't dance - which may explain why I'm the topsy turvy guy. I feel as if I'm in an MGM musical. During one scene full of tapping, I hate to make may entrance and ruin the mood." "The dancing is exceptional," agrees Norm Nielsen, SCERA President, who says that with David at the helm, he would have been amazed had it been otherwise. other-wise. "David is an elite tap dancer and has a hard time keeping his feet still. That is only one of his talents, whoever. He is amazing, which is why we recruited him several years ago from the Pink Garter Theater in Jackson Hole, Wyoming to manage our shows.' From time to time we want to showcase his other gifts, because he is also a great actor, director, scene designer - you name it, he's a one-man talent machine. Just . see him once and you'll understand under-stand why he has become such a local favorite." "Norm is tenaciously loyal to me," Whitlock says. "He lets me do just about anything - except go over budget! And I guess I'm just a lucky guy, because theatre's what I love to do - and pardon this pun but I'm 'Crazy For It'." Assisting Whitlock are Matt Herrick, music director and his assistant director, Gayliene Omary. car was given; and an estimated $84 of damage was done to another car when a wing window was broken bro-ken on Thursday night.
