SCERA Katerers Kitchen now ready for use BY REVA BOWEN Times Reporter The new Katerers Kitchen at the SCERA Arts Center, a project spearheaded by Vera Nielsen and the Orem Women's Club, is now completed and ready to be used by the community. Mrs. Nielsen, designated the "kitchen coordinator" (or should that be "koordinator"?) by SCERA President Norm Nielsen, is anxious for the long-awaited room to now be well-used not only by the Orem Women's Club, but also by the public. Scheduling Schedul-ing of the facility is done through the SCERA offices. As the name implies, the Katerers Kitchen is a community facility to be used by caterers who are serving food in Room 101 of the Arts Center, a large meeting room, and in other SCERA areas. No cooking will be done in the kitchen, but a refrigerator, sink, counter space, and cupboards will make the job of serving food much more convenient. "It's an expensive room," Mrs. Nielsen said, "and we don't want to see it just stand there. The room is there. The bills are paid. - 1 ' - " "" iimi i ii r i nai Patriotic presentation... Liane Foutz, former president of the Orem Women's Club, presents an American flag to SCERA President Norm Nielsen for use at the Arts Center. The presentation was made as part of ribbon cutting ceremonies cer-emonies for the Katerers Kitchen, another service project of the club. "Utah Community Credit Union is A 1 sss ONCUA ; ; , . 1 " Everything is in order. Now we need to encourage community groups to schedule Room 101 and other SCERA areas." Norm Nielsen credits Vera for the persistence that brought the project to fruition. "It's a lovely addition," the SCERA president said, "and it never would have happened if Vera Nielsen hadn't dedicated many hours time and money." At ribbon cutting ceremonies held May 30 and attended by Mayor Jerry Washburn and Miss Orem McKenzie Moody, Norm Nielsen quipped that it took longer to remodel the kitchen than to build the whole Arts Center Cen-ter addition. Vera Nielsen said the project got underway several years ago when Norm was invited to the annual Women's Club officers' installation installa-tion to accept a $1,000 donation from the group to be used toward something needed at the SCERA. The kitchen was one pressing need, and Norm told the club, "You get a committee, and I'll work with them until it's done." "Norm has played a very important impor-tant part in this," Vera stated. it Open Your Account Today! If you live or work in Utah County, you are eligible to join.

Contractor Chad Broaderick Construction and Westco Carpets & Interiors donated to the cause as well, and their contributions were commemorated com-memorated along with those of the SCERA Board of Directors and the Women's Club on two plaques one for each door installed during the ribbon cutting cut-ting ceremonies. Vera foresees the kitchen being used for open houses, receptions, parties, luncheons, and dinners. "Anything where they serve food," she declared. Mayor Washburn said he wanted to thank the club and SCERA "for what you continually do to make life better for people." In remarks directed to Vera and the Women's Club, Norm Nielsen added, "There are people in the world who build walls, and people in the world who build bridges. You are the bridge group and I don't mean cards!... We're very appreciative, and the community should be appreciative as well." Help improve students' literacy skills The Pleasant Grove Library encourages individuals to become tutors for children and adults who want to improve reading levels. Because some students need individual in-dividual attention in order to improve im-prove literacy skills, tutors make a difference through one- on-one interaction. By increasing reading levels, individuals gain greater confidence and enjoy greater success suc-cess in school and life. Volunteers are asked to donate two 45-minute 45-minute sessions each week, Monday Mon-day through Thursday evenings.

"What's so neat about local is the taste," said Gwen. "We have nine children, and have always had a garden. My children like vegetables, veg-etables, because they know, for instance, in-stance, what a real cucumber tastes like." A commercial apple grower must pick his apples early on in order to avoid losing the crop and to safely ship it. But an apple picker in the CSA can harvest the produce when it is at optimum flavor long after commercial apples might have to be picked. Gwen said the organic gardening garden-ing movement has been slow in Utah, but part of the Lunds' goals for the CSA is to promote organic means of raising produce. "People love the idea that they can get organic or-ganic potatoes that aren't sprayed. People want organic apples. They're tired of the spray." The Lunds will have a board of directors to help make CSA decisions deci-sions and to assist with phoning. They hope to have all arrangements arrange-ments wrapped up by June 30th, so the farmers can receive their checks and the project can be "out of the way" until harvest time. The Lunds are being paid in kind "We are hoping people will love the fun of going into an orchard and picking apples together," Gwen said. "It is a fun tradition."

After Little demonstrated it, Wayne said, "Thanks. I've been walking like Loretta Young for years.") His fame grew throughout the '60s and '70s, and once, when he imitated Elvis Presley during a disc jockey shift, 500 Elvis fans showed up at the radio station clamoring for an autograph. He has been on television and movies, and still subs at times for celebrities who lose their voices and need something some-thing recorded. Largely fearless in his career, he admits to only one anxiety: a sore throat. "Other people get a cold, and they just a cold. I get a cold and John Wayne gets a cold, Orson Welles gets a cold, Nixon gets a cold, Truman Capote gets a cold. No, correction Truman gets the sniffles. I get a cold and it's all over."
