"Saving money at the grocery store parking lot recently constructed con-structed by UVSC. ' The inevitable expansion of the UVSC campus is seen as a move to accommodate the growing student body, which some officials believe could escalate to more than 40,000 within the next 10 years. Meanwhile, the Alpine School District officials, who had been looking to replace Vineyard Elementary School with a new facility in the next two or three years, are faced with advancing the timetable for that project. proj-ect. in one place, he explained, faculty members' offices will be closer to classrooms, which will make it easier for students to approach teachers teach-ers with their needs. Out of the nine departments depart-ments in Cobb's college, only three will not move to the new building: theater, art and music. But Cobb believes that by moving the other departments, these three will have more space where they are now. to Perrins. The ' Emergency Responders Manual relies on the police, usually the first to arrive at the scene of an emergency, to decide how severe the emergency is. If it is too much for the police to handle on their own, a chain of command has been set up within the Orem City Government that the police could contact. If an emergency is too much for Orem City to handle, han-dle, officials will contact Utah County. Likewise, if the disaster overwhelms Utah County's resources, the Utah state government would be contacted. From the Utah state government, it would go to Governor Leavitt and finally to the federal government if need Genuine JI.I.

Attendees will get a full week's worth of low cost menu ideas and return home with a packet of coupons. The seminar is free, and no registration is required. Alpine School District Superintendent Vernon M. Henshaw said last week that the district may build another Vineyard Elementary School west of the Geneva Road. "There is property, located locat-ed just south of the City of Orem's new ball diamond complex, which would be a likely site for the new school," he said. The new Vineyard Elementary School would likely be the first public school built in the Town of Vineyard. The Liberal Arts Building is being constructed construct-ed north of the RE. building and northwest of the Sorenson Student Center. "It's gonna be one of the busiest spots on campus," Hall said. The building, which is scheduled to open this fall, cost $18.5 million. If a donor gives a large sum of money to UVSC, the name of the building may be changed to honor the donor, he added. be, Perrins said. Orem City has a Web site, www.orem.orgemgt, that is designed to help residents personally prepare for a disaster. dis-aster. Perrins is working on the site to make it more helpful to residents. "My hope is it will be a one-stop-shop for emergency emer-gency " preparedness resources," Perrins said. Orem City residents should feel "very comfortable comfort-able and at peace," he said, because Orem City's emergency emer-gency personnel are highly trained and prepared. "Know that the City of Orem is always improving their (emergency) plans and practicing their (emergency) plans." MARGIE MCCOWN Continued from front page to do a story. In addition to City Council, Margie covered the police reports for the paper. Her children said she told them that if she ever saw one of their names in those reports, it would be going in the newspaper. "You can't do that!" the McCown children objected. "We are minors!" "I can give permission for your names to be published, and I will," was their mother's moth-er's rejoinder. Needless to say, none of the McCown children ever made the police reports. The family recalled the time Margie was asked to fill in as a journalist on a panel questioning the Orem City Council candidates candi-dates a forum that was being televised. "She was nervous, but intrigued," Harold said. "She knew the issues and she wrote down a lot of questions." Glancing at Margie's copious copi-ous notes, one of the neophyte neo-phyte reporters asked Margie if the questions were being furnished to them. "No!" Margie said. "I'm afraid when the camera gets on me, my mind is going to go blank and I want something in my hand to read!" It amused her to see how quickly the other reporters scrambled to write something down, too. Another niche that was filled by Margie's unique writing talents was that of the annual tribute written for the outgoing Miss Orem. Former Miss Orem pageant pag-eant Director Gayla Muir said of Margie's tributes, "She would sit down and talk with (the queens) numerous times. Then she would mull over the information infor-mation and bring it to where she wanted it. She would give an insightful, personal spin on who they were in a way that only she could do. It was distinctively distinc-tively Margie. She looked forward to that, as her identity iden-tity and contribution to the pageant. She did such a beautiful job. It was hard for her to finally have to retire from it." Harold said Margie "sweat blood" over the Miss Orem tributes. "She always felt, if you're going to take on a project, you do it right." And take on projects she did, whether it was writing a church newsletter, being an election judge, or being a member of the city's Shade "All men who have achieved great things have 2 OFF EVERY PEKOE IN STOCK PRECIOUS MOMENTS Tree Committee. Margie reported on the SummerFest celebration, and also served on the committee. com-mittee. Teri remembers being in costume to clean up after parade animals as Miss Cow Patty; Teri's friend played the role of Miss Chips. The girls recalled dressing up variously vari-ously as Raggedy Ann, Princess Leia of Star Wars, and a bumblebee to be in the parade. Margie served as a member mem-ber of the city's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Committee, the advisory group that hears from applicants for federal grants and makes recommendations recom-mendations to the City Council for its final decision. deci-sion. Harold said Margie was "tough and exacting" in the work, and applicants were well advised to "have their ducks in a row." She wanted to make sure that "the government was getting get-ting its money's worth" in the dispersion of funds. Margie's family said she knew how to stretch a dollar to the utmost, finding great sales and preparing cost-saving cost-saving meals. "If there were two ways of doing something, some-thing, Margie would always go the inexpensive route," Harold said. But her frugality did not mean that Margie did not know how to have fun and then some. One family tradition became known as Girls Night Out or the "Wake Over." Once a year, in the summer, the females of the family would get together togeth-er for a sleepover, but nobody slept. There were games and activities and food, including Oreos and milk for breakfast. After an unbelievable close-out sale on Jazz T-shirts was found the year JCPenney moved to the Provo Towne Center, buying T-shirts every year for the Wake Over became a tradition too. Even when Margie was in a wheelchair, she did not want to be left out of anything, and she wasn't. For the grandchildren's birthdays, it was traditional to buy them their favorite treat in lieu of a birthday card. Former Orem Mayor Stella Welsh first became acquainted with Margie when Stella was on the City Council and Margie was a reporter. Stella remembers her friend's "great sense of humor." "Margie seemed to enjoy life. She was a very good person a good friend. She -Orison Swett Marden Cherished Teddies 12 OFF ENTIRE STOCK X A Tradition of Quality since 1904 176 VK Center rn .
