More than 19 potential sites for the power plant have been investigated during 11 years of surveys in the area, the Project .director explained. The two most feasible sites are Nipple Bench and a site 15 miles north called Fourmile Bench," he continued. "And, although former Secretary of the Interior Rogers ('. B. Morion rejected the Nipple Bench site in 1973, for environ-- . menial reasons', we have and re studied both the Nipple Bench and Fourmile the subsequently proposed Bench sites in this new report." coal-fire- d The report compares such site characteristics as visual impact, air quality impact, biology, cultural resources and energy resources, the Project director said, adding that economic comparisons are made on a differential cost basis.

Mrappi-- ioa large kites sport. peaks This new phenomenon is referred to as hang gliding, sl.v sailing, sky surfing or kite soaring in some circles, and as insanity, suicide and nonsense in some others. I.inn (. Baker. President of the Utah Safety Council offered the following information and observations on this sport: Most of todays soaring kites have a rnniiuuii ancestor, a triangular kite M. designed by Francis Rogallo. TheKogallo kite was conceived as part of a NASA research project to replace parachutes. NASA abandoned the kite herause of its instability. People interested in aerodynamics conceived nuxlifirations. and a serviceable hang glider evolved. In turn, this piotoiy pc glider spawned many other models and variations. - The principle is a simple one. Participants take a running leap into the wind off a cliff, or they are pulled or catapulted into the air, or dropped from a balloon, etc. Soaring into the wind, the kites ran circle, bank, climb and float gently to the ground. . .if everything goes right. However, Baker reminds us, "The air, like the sea, can be cruel and unpredictable. Sudden downdrafts or updrafts or unexpected crosswinds can bring sudden and unavoidable disaster to even the most experienced kite pilots." Because of the inherent dangers of the sport, many originators and early enthusiasts (who are still living) already macho-daredev- following: Utah State University's historical pageant, The West: America's Odyssey, has- - emerged as a foremost tourist attraction and is rapidly becoming one of the West's most popular summer theatrical events, according to the pageant's producer, Dr. Gerald R. Advance ticket reservations for the pageant, which opens July 28 for a week's run in the air conditioned Spectrum at USU, are substantially ahead of last year, Dr. Sherratt reports, and inquiries are already being received for the 1976 Phone here's a new sort sweeping the country That is. if you could call leaping from jaggi-- cliffs and mountain Western pageant at USU draws international interest Sherratt. 722-222- New sport questioned by safety council Bicentennial production. The pageant was first presented in 1973 as part of the school's Festival of the American West. Other features of the festival are a crafts fair, displays of western art, a parade and a chuckwagon suDner.The parade through downtown Logan July 28 at 10 a.m. will kick off the week's events. No motorized vehicles will be permitted in the parade, so the old West flavor will be preserved. Some 500 old photographs, paintings, a mural, a barbed wire collection and related exhibits will be included in Windows West, a free art show in the Spectrum each day from 3 to 7:30 p.m. This year's Great West Fair will feature leather workers, candle, soap, dress, straw hat, clock and quilt makers, wood carvers, china painters, a gunsmith, thinsmith and blacksmith, and several Indian craftsmen, demonstrating their skills and displaying their wares. The fair is open daily from 3 to 8 p.m. The Old West Cookout will provide dinner daily at 6 p.m. prior to each performance of the pageant. - The pageant has particular appeal for foreign tourists whose interest in the American West was spawned by the motion picture industry. Among the organizations with advance reservations for this year's performances is a group of Japanese tourists. Last year patrons were recorded from Canada, Mexico, England, Denmark and Australia. The U. S. Department of Commerce has requested that a publicity packet on the pageant be prepared for distribution to the department's overseas offices. Department spokesmen stressed the interest of foreign tourists in including the production as part of a Bicentennial visit to the United States. Largest of the groups attending the pageant this summer is the International Travel and Trailer Club of America. The club, with members from throughout the United States, will make Logan the home base for a week-lonstay in Utah. Bus loads of patrons are expected from throughout Utah, southern Idaho and Nevada, as well as special travel groups from as far away as California and Michigan. The pageant depicts the settlement of the Old West. Headlining the cat of nearly 200 is TV actor James Drury who starred for nine years as The Virginian." Joining Drury is character actor Chill Wills, who provides the taped narration, singer-acto- r Philip Toubus and Burch Mann's Americana Dance Theatre.

Baker concluded, It's .one of those situations where the National Safety Council's current slogan seems to apply- - "Take Time. . .To Be Safe." have abandoned hang gliding. 1.3x1 year, Swiss hang glider champion Etienne Uilhner announced he was quitting the sport because too many leople were being killed, many of them experts. On the west roast, Jack Haberstroh, who headed the world's school sold his largest hang-glidininterst in the farm "because of the incredible number of people being hurt and killed in hang gliders." After much research, Haberstroh concluded that "the sport is so dangerous, it is in a class by itself." Even among those who praise and promote hang gliding, there are those who have reservations. Will Yolen, President of the International Kite Flyers Association, said, "Kite soaring is unstable and dangerous. Our members want to be the OLDEST kite fliers, not the highest. IJoyd Licher, Executive Director of the Soaring Society of America and President of the IJ. S. Hang Gliding Association, warns Those contemplating entering the activity are urged to go slow, literally and figuratively, and stay no higher than one is willing to fall." Some enthusiasts predict that improved craft will be available in the near Nursing aide class to begin g A class to train nurse aides sponsored by Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center, will start August 4th. It will be held at the Uintah County Court House in Vernal Hours will be 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily with clinical hours to be arranged. The course will require about eight weeks. Instructor Pat Searle, R. N. will cover 100 hours of theory and 100 hours of clinical practice. The clinical practice will be held at Uintah County Hospital and Sunrise Convalescent Center in Vernal Upon conclusion of the course a card of completion confirming the 200 hours will be issued to the student. The card is recognized by institutions employing aides. Many medical facilities now require evidence of completion of such a course when hiring aide personnel. Application forms can be obtained from Pat Searle, or Uintah Basin Area Vocational Center, 6 or As soon as fees are paid, the applicant will be counted as one of the 15 students. low-goin- g 789-328- 722-452- 789-194- Mrs. CsMiie Hxlfats 454-110- 4 Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Stevenson and family of Phoenix, Arizona are here V'l visiting with Mrs. Stevensons mother, Nona Holgale and her brothers and sisters.
