Show Section summer visit to the northern Ireland s is not a holiday, but it does offer a respite from the daily terrors the youngsters face in the centuries-olbattle between Catholics and Protestants. Salt Lake City may become one of the centers Ulster-are- a teens of both religious backgrounds visit to learn and cooperation about between people. However, nothing is definite yet, according to the Rev. Canon Albert Thomas ("Kerry") who was in Salt Lake City this week to explain the program to clergy and civic leaders. The Ulster Project is a carefully planned psychological program in which an equal number of Catholic and Protestant youths from northern Ireland spend four weeks in America, living with a family of the same religious background, forming new ideas in place of old misconceptions, the Rev. Waterstone explained. He said the teens are involved in a program offered by trained personnel, who conduct an interchurch program to teach the youngsters how to say, "Some of the fault in the northern Ireland conflict might be mine." Culture Shock According to the Rev. Waterstone, coming to America is a culture shock to most of the youngsters, who have never been able to comprehend the freedoms American teens take for granted. Besides the general availability of products, the teens are overwhelmed by the plurality of traA mi 4 $ through the Community Action Program. And nine area churches have volunteered to pick up lunches from a central kitchen at South High School, deliver them to the Central Community Center, 615 S. 300 East, and serve them to between 100 and 130 poverty-leve- l youngsters. Participating churches include Wasatch Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist Church, the LDS 10th Ward, Campus Christian Center, Newman Center, Community of Grace Presbyterian Church, the University Baptist Center, St. Johns Lutheran Church and Holladay United Church of Christ. Other churches have indicated an interest in participating, but have not signed up for a specific assignment. The program was begun by Congress in the late 1970s, according to Tineka Van Dijk, CAP coordinator for the project. However, over the past two years, CAP'S budget has been cut severely she said to the point that even though the food was available, there was no funding to pay personnel to serve the meals. Ms. Van Dijk said as a churchwoman she had spoken with churches often about hunger problems but found they frequently didnt know how to become in- h$Kf ' u Tribune Staff Photo bv ai Hartnion, looks on. Church is one of nine involved in a summer food program at the Central City Community Center. Michelle Murray hands a youngster milk while Rev. Jim Lappen, pastor of Community of Grace Presbyterian Church, A Strong History Despite strict guidelines separating church and state, there has always been a strong history between the churches and poverty programs, she said. For instance, she said, it was the churches who made the outcry for programs like WIC Women Infants and Children which feeds women and children. Churches enhance those programs. She believes local churches have long been interested in hunger programs and have been looking for ways to participate. She said for the Campus Christian Center, participating was a matter of timing. The center personnel had been discussing worldwide hunger with university students and hosting luncheons in which food poor low-inco- food program began said that 33 3 percent of all youngsters in a neighborhood had to be below the poverty level. people might eat was served. "This was a continuation of that project, she said. Community of Grace Presbyterian Church, Sandy, distributed the food this past week. The Rev. James Lappen, pastor, said his church was helping because the work needs to be done. "There are a lot of kids with no access to lunch and the center didnt have the people to distribute the food. Although Community of Grace Church is in Sandy, Rev. Lappen said the church participated because mission work, on both local and worldwide levels, is a major concern of the congregation. He said the members have often done hands-o- n mission work, such as the soup kitchen at Wasatch Presbyterian Church and have worked with Utahns Against Hunger. The summer food program was intended to take the place of the school lunch program, which operates during the school year. Federal guidelines when the summer volved. However, last year those guidelines were boosted to 50 percent. That drastically cut the number of locations able to operate, Ms. Van Dijk said, and theyve since been working to add to the number of areas. In the Central City area, 90 percent of the youngsters fit the guidelines, Ms. Van Dijk said. Hot Meal or Sack Lunch The lunches are sometimes a hot meal and other days a sack lunch. On the day of the interview, the meal consisted of a turkey sandwich, milk, a banana, pudding and a protein candy bar. Some youngsters grumbled because it was the third day in a row for sandwiches. But others were satisfied. Ms. Van Dijk tries to see that a variety of meals are offered, including some ethnic foods.

It works in the United States because the Irish feel a close kinship to the United States. "Twelve or 13 of your presidents can trace their ancestry to Ireland There's a a gut reracial reaction sponse almost built into them the teens that the Irish are very much a part of this country. There's a feeling that God has blessed America." The Rev. Waterstone is pastor of St. Catherine's Church of Ireland, an Anglican Church in Tullamore County, Offaly, in southern Ireland. He came to the United States in 1973 as part of an exchange of parishes. The freedom of America even gave me a shock, he said. Real Cross Section A year later, the Ulster Project was launched when a group of teens came to Manchester, Conn., with a Catholic priest and the Rev. Waterstone. "Now we send a man and a woman with the group, but it was so important to get the project started, we went with two men that first year, the Rev. Waterstone said. The group is always carefully divided between Catholics and Protestants, "a real cross section of denominations." the Rev. Waterstone said. A center in Utah was not even considered until Judy Wight, an Orem resident, met the Rev. Waterstone on a visit to Ireland last year. She became so enthusiastic about the project she began contacting local clergy and other people who might be interested, and asked the Rev. Waterstone to visit Salt Lake City to explain the project.

Watei stone proudly states, explaining not one of more than 2,000 youngsters who have been through the program has turned to terrorism after returning home. He speaks of one young man, a Catholic, whose brother was killed by the Protestants shortly after he returned home from the Ulster Project. "The program is such a success that even he didnt turn to violence, the minister said. The youngsters range in age from 2 to 17 years old. Sometimes if there is only a little milk left at home, an infant or toddler will get it. rather than say, a old, Ms. Van Dijk said, because the mother knows her older child can get a carton of milk through the summer food program.
