In 1978 Mayor Edison and the City Council of Fillmore initiated an effort for the City to buy into a power plant by making a commitment to share in the project development costs. This decision has been regarded by most people as being very wise and prudent. Since the 1978 beginning, many people have dedicated a lot of time to this project and there have been numerous obstacle! to overcome in bringing this goal to reality. As a means of financing the purchase cost of what is known today as the Hunter II unit in Emery County, the Cities involved in the project formed an association known as Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems in the fall of 1980. At that time Dwight F. Day of Fillmore was elected to the Board of Directors and in 1982 was elected as Vice Chairman of the Board. In talking to Mr. Day, he said, "At times, during my involvement in this project, it seemed that the obstacles were insurmountable, that we would never be able to do the financing for the plant. It has been a long hard struggle, but I believe that this plant will be of great service to the community and those that started the effort should be commended for their foresight." Mr. Day has been involved in this project since he came to Fillmore in August of 1980. According to Carolyn McNeil, CPA and Controller of who was in Fillmore on May 13 to an information meeting, Mr. Day has made a very significant contribution to during his term of office and particularly in the last few weeks. He was chosen as one of three Board members to be a Pricing Committee for the sale of $67 million in bonds that the 21 Cities had to sell to purchase the generating plant. The committee went to Wall Street in New York the week of May 10 for the purpose of pricing and selling these bonds. Just a few weeks prior to this, budgets and rate schebased dules were prepared by on bond rates given by the Bond Underwriter of 14.25. The team was able to negotiate a rate of 12.46 which represents a substantial savings to all of the communities involved. At the Fillmore information meeting. Carolyn said. "Fillmore is fortunate to have Dwight Day. he has made a great contribution to Every commuShe a have should Day. Dwight nity went on to say that anyone who could get interest rates like these should be recognized and suggested that the City have a special recognition day for Mr. A Mc-Nc- il Day. When asked about the savings resulting from the rates, Mr. Day said, "First of all, we were able to reduce the bond issue by $1 million, which saved us $5 million in debt service and then from the rate differential we saved an additional $36 million, for a total of $41 million. In doing some quick calculations from that, the savings translates to $2.1 million for Fillmore over the life of the bonds. For other Millard 743-682- 5 743-680- try-ou- ts v, , , least 50 children.

This dressed organ, the (pictured), and many other interesting artifacts can be seen by paying a visit to the newly remodeled Kanosh DUP building. Kanosh DUP building undergoes extensive remodeling The Sally Kanosh Camp of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers have recently completed the remodeling of their building. The building had been loaned to the DUP since 1952 and was finally deeded to them in 1981 by the Kanosh Ward. The newly redecorated building was built in 1870 and was originally the old tithing office, according to Jean Phillips, Sally Kanosh Camp Captain. She said it had also been used as a meeting house at various times. The property was deeded to the Kanosh Ward in 1900 by O. F. Christensen. The old attic of the DUP building has been refinished and a new staircase leading up to it has been completed. Cleve Christensen drew up the plans for the staircase and Jay Robison did all the carpenter work. A new paint job has revived the basement room which has been decirated to look like an kitchen. The newly finished attic room contains a beautiful old combination desk and bookcase and many other artifacts.

Boys State is a plan for training in the functional aspects of citizenship. It is a program of education sponsored by the American Legion, Department of Utah. Its purpose is to teach the youth of today constructive attitudes toward the American form of government. Boys State attempts to show that our scheme of government has not outworn its usefulness; that all a democracy needs is an intelligent citizenry and a clean, honest and impartial administration responsive to the will of the people. The program originated in Illinois in 1934, has been adopted by the National organization of the American Legion and is now in operation in the 50 states. The 1982 camp will be the 28th session of the American Legion Boys State. Boys State purports "to educate our youth in the duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities of American citizenship. It is wholly a plan for training in the practical aspects of government. It is functional in that applications of the principles of democratic government are made in every possible way. The Constitution and the statutes of the State of Utah are the patterns from which the fundamental law of The American Legion Boys State has been developed. Boys State should be thought of as being a mythical 51st Cool as a cucumber, a truck driver made turkeys out of nearly everyone in Fillmore, including the police, before he finally landed in jail.
