His antics keep the audience in stitches, as does Michael Gray in his awkward attempts to dance, act, and even answer the door in a proper "butler" manner. Joyce Gunther, the costume designer understudy, is very believable, accent and all. Joyce, by the way, had the interesting honor of tying with herself for first place last year for Best Actress. Other cast members include Janan Sorensen, Shauna Spencer, Erin Archie, Doug Shattuck, Kelly Stone, Debbie Ellis, Elfi Panholzer, Joshua Romney, and understudy, Kent Flowers. The entire cast is great in their; portrayals of not just one, but two roles. Romance, disappointment, and impishness, work together in; spit of lost props, faulty bells and lights, and anything else not found in the script for an evening of good.; entertainment.

Jody has written seven of the plays they've produced and is currently working on another.

She wanted to let them in on what they weren't seeing. .j know-what'- PG seeks Jr. Rodeo Queen 785-292- The Strawberry Days Jr. Rodeo Queen Contest will be held Saturday, May 21, at the Pleasant Grove Arena at noon.

In my practice, I have many of my patients ask me about current & past insurance coverage and how are they covered for current & past accidents? The 'rule of thumb" used in the health care industry is this: Health Insurance: coverage is only good while the policy is "inforcs, and each treatment or office visit must be approved. Workers Compensation Fund: is insurance coverage for the employee paid for by the employer for any accident that occurs at and during work hours. This coverage can be good tor as long as three years after any accident occurs, .(be sure you notify your employer at thetime of the accident to alleviate any problems with claims). Auto 4 Accident Insurance: this coverage is used torany claims you have due to an auto accident, or "on tight property accident that occurred and you are still in any kind ol pain.

A is one that a contractor builds (usually on a singular basis) in hopes of finding a buyer who will purchase it during construction or soon after completion. The buyer who is fortunate enough to be in this enviable position will be able to provide input during construction that concerns some design and material choices. As a result, the buyer ends up with a home that substantially reflect his or her personal taste and In this respect, a spec home affords many of the advantages of the custom home at a decidedly lower price. 0 The Utah Valley Choral Society will conclude its 1993-9- 4 season with a concert featuring music of the American heritage Thursday, May 12, at 8 p.m. in the Provo Tabernacle.
