I have thought about this statement state-ment a lot in the past weeks as many things have transpired in my life that have made me more aware of those people around me. I have been paying more attention to those around me lately. To the server at the restaurant, the cashier at the grocery store, and yes, even to those that surround my home daily. I have been making mak-ing a mental note of what it takes to be a nice person. I have come up with a few ideas of my own on what it really means to be a nice person. They listen genuinely. They recognize and appreciate your best qualities. They show compassion com-passion towards others. They make you feel good about yourself. They are comfortable comfort-able to be with because they are relaxed. Now, I know I could name off a hundred more qualities, but the ones I have mentioned have stuck in my mind this week. I had the privilege of attending at-tending a family event with my husband's family over the holiday, and I realized that one person there was full of these qualities. I know there were several others there, but every time we mix company with this one special woman we leave better people because of the kind of person that she is. I have often said I want to be her when I grow up, but this past week I decided I better bet-ter start working on the qualities quali-ties that she has and maybe someday everything else will fall into place. I have gathered many recipes from Aunt "Neat" (this nick name could not suit her better) over the years and my cooking tips and knowledge have been improved because of her. Maybe we should all take a small minute while eating eat-ing Aunt Nita's Mint Brownies to reflect on how we treat others, oth-ers, and what we could do to make someone's "storm" that they may be experiencing just a bit lighter. These brownies will work well for all occasions. occa-sions. But, with wedding season right on top of us what would be a better treat to serve? Or, bake a pan up and share with those you love. Enjoy! I will look forward to more batter chatter next week.

Known on campus as two of UVSC's greatest supporters, the Paxmans have attended nearly every fundraiser sponsored spon-sored by UVSC. Shirley and Monroe, both life-long residents resi-dents of Provo, have been involved in-volved in humanitarian service together since they married in 1942. Among their many projects proj-ects through the years is the non-denominational chapel at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. "The Paxmans had such a passion and commitment to seeing a chapel built at UVRMC that they became a catalyst for other community partners to come together and see the project through to completion," said Reverend Dean Jackson of the Rock Canyon Can-yon Assembly of God Church. They also owned and operated the McCurdy Doll Museum in Provo for 25 years, with a collection col-lection of 4,000 historic dolls. As members of the Historic Provo Preservation Foundation in Provo, the Paxmans were key in saving Academy Square on University Avenue in Provo that is now the Provo City Library. Li-brary. The Paxmans' service is not limited to Utah County. In 1999, Shirley and her eight sisters founded the Brockbank Education Educa-tion Fund. Named for their father, fa-ther, the Brockbank Fund provides pro-vides for the college education of more than 71 young women in South Africa. Monroe served for many years as a judge in the 4th District Court Juvenile court. They now both serve on the Advisory Board of the School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences at UVSC, assisting with scholarships, internships and helping to raise funds for a planned performing arts center. The benefit lunch is the third scholarship luncheon gifted by Outback proprietor Jeff Weissgerber. He and his staff are gifting all food and services to the scholarship. The Shirley and Monroe Paxman Scholarship Scholar-ship for Humanitarian Service will go to a UVSC student who exemplifies the Paxmans' example ex-ample of humanitarian service.
