Show THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1979 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1979 Coalition Group Mat r'ans to Save Geneva Continued from Page 1 commerce throughout the valley have published a unanimous resolution in support of it. The Orem Chamber alone has enlishted over seventy of its members in the Coalition in its own current membership drive. The steel plants cause will be the subject of a town meeting to be held in American Fork this Wednesday, sponsored by that citys Chamber of Commerce. The Utah Association of Women has also passed a resoution suppor-ting the Coalition. Drucilla Smith, a Provo resident who is on the Associa-tions Board of directors, says they have resolved to do all they can to assure the success of the steel plant here in the valley. Bumper stickers in support of the group are available at the Provo UVIDA office. Counter sign up cards will be placed in stores throughout the valley this week. The Utah County Commissioners has also issued a news release in sup-port of Genevas plant for air quality improvements. The Commission wrote the letter because the EPA claims it has received much mail in support of its $178 million program. Dick Stone, President of the Citizens Coalition, praised the Coun-- . ty Commissioners for their action. He noted that their letter was an ex-cellent one, and said that " it contains all the components we need to cover in our own letter." Mr. Stone also said that he was not surprised by the EPA's claim. He ex-plained, "Those that are against us write letters. Those that are for Geneva think that the cause is so popular that everybody else is going to write." Mr. Stone concluded, "What we all need to do is sit down and write let-ters. We need to fill the EPA office in Denver with them. We also need to write our congressmen and governor." The address of the Denver EPA of-fice is: U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency, Region VIII, Lincoln Street, Denver, Colorado 80295. Its present Director is Roger L. Williams. There are no paid executives in the Coalition, which is strictly a volunteer force. The groups $5 membership fee is used to defray the cost of stamps, envelopes, letter printing and media advertisements to get the facts on the issue to the public. The Citizens Coaliition to Save Geneva will be meeting with Con-gressman Gunn McKay at their in-vitation this Thursday at noon at the Riverside Country Club. The meeting will give the Coalition the chance to recognize the Con-gressman for his recent efforts in Washington in expediting the negotiations between the EPA and U.S. Steel. The Meeting will also give the Coalition chance to acquaint the Congressman first hand with the reason they were organized. "We have two goals," Coalition president Dick Stone explained, "number one, we want the best air we can get in the valley and number two, we want to keep Geneva operating." The Coalition was formed because local citizens feel that if the EPA comes forth with a reasonable answer both goals can be attained. Geneva officials point out that in terms of actual benefits there is very little difference between the 50 million dollar package previously ap-proved by the state and the 178 million dollar package which the EPA is currently holding out for. The meeting with Gunn McKay will give the Coalition a chance to up-date Congressman McKay on their ef-forts locally and to get a report from him on his actions in Washington. Gunn McKays efforts in expediting negotiations are vital because time is essential. According to Federal law the program must be operating by December 31, 1982. Consequently, plant engineers are anxious to get the EPA's approval so they can begin purchasing and installing the needed air control equipment now. Creative Writing Class Beginning October 17th, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. each Wednesday for eight weeks, in the East room of the rec-reation building, a Creative Writing Class for Adults will be held. Mrs. Marcella Walker, the Pleasant Grove representative for the Daily Herald, will be the teacher. Mrs. Walker reports that the purpose of the class will be to help those who have always had an in-terest in writing or lear-ning to write, to put that interest to use. The class will include instruction on writing poetry, shortstories, essays and will help the individual learn how to develop a plot and other good writing techni-ques. The class will also teach the processes of getting your works published and how to sell them. Their will also be an open structure to the class so that those in the class can get help in the areas they have the greatest interest in. Marcella received her bachelors of science degree at BYU in the field of Journalism. She was very active in High School and College newspaper work and school magazine pro-duction. She is ex-perienced in writing for both radio and TV and is currently writing for the daily Herald.

Recreation Class Offered Pleasant Grove Recreation will be offer-ing a class for girls of Junior High age and up who are interested in learning how to be naturally beautiful and poised. According to Kiki Anderson, who will be teaching the class, the lessons will be struc-tured around the needs and desires of the students in the class. Some of the things the girls will learn about will be: How to be naturally attractive through techniques of poise, friendliness and well grooming. How to take care of your skin, makeup art, and manicures. How to model, move gracefully, posing and photography. The class will also touch on feel-ing at ease in public and proper etiquette. Mrs. Kiki Anderson is very qualified to teach all aspects of modeling, and personal improvement. She was once Miss Sweden and went on to become Miss World. She was a profes-sional High Fashion Model in Europe for 17 years, and had the op-portunity to model in Africa, Egypt, Asia and Paris. She worked for Chris-tian Dior in France as a top model. Kiki has also been very involved in television commercial work and was once a talent find for High Fashion Models in Scandinavia who would go on to model in Paris. She has successfully trained countless girls for modeling carreers. It is our good fortune that Mrs. Anderson chose to make her home in Pleasant Grove. She has a lovely family and has been very involved in the Strawberry Days Pageant, and in judg-ing other pageants around the area. In 1975 she was in-vited back to London to be a judge for the Miss World Pageant. The modeling class is expected to be a very popular one, and those who wish to take the class should register as soon as possible at the Recreation Office. The class will remain small so that personal atten-tion may be given. The cost is $5.00 for 8 one hour lessons to be held on Thursday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Dance Studio at the Pleasant Grove High School. If interest is shown for an adult modeling and makeup class to be offered, the recreation department will ar-range for one for winter semester. Those in-terested adults should call the Recreation Of-fice and express their interest. THROTTLE STUCK Mike Roundy's throttle stuck and he flew off the last end of the track.

They all are a part of Round-Abou- t and we'd like to thank each and every one of them. We've had the usual this year and a little of the unusual cars finishing races backwards, or with trunks or hoods open or even on 3 wheels. Some getting stuck in Old Muddy or sliding off the track. Lots of spinouts. A few rollovers. A car ending up on top of one of the big truck tires used as a baracade. Wrist wat ches lost and found on the track, all these things will be remembered in years to come. This weeks winners were: Teen Class Kriss Sweat, Trophy dash, heat and Main.
