Committee has announced approval of two major quality of life construction projects for Hill Air Force Base. The projects were approved by the House Armed services Committee as part of the Fiscal Year 2000 Combined Commissary Surcharge and Nonappropriated Fund Construction Program. Funding for these projects is provided by the profits earned at military exchanges, commissaries and other recreational facilities. BY TOM BUSSEUBERG Clipper Today Sews Editor The projects approved are for an addition to the Officers Club and a new retail shopping center. The total cost of these projects is $12.7 million. I am pleased with the committee's support for these worthwhile projects. This new retail exchange facility and combined dub are directly targeted at improving the quality of life for our military families. When combined with the pay raise and retirement reform package already approved, I hope this Congress has taken an important first step in reversing nearly a decade in declining retention and morale, said Utah Congressman Jim Hansen. These new investments are also an important part of ensuring a strong and vibrant Hill Air Force Base for the future.

Sometimes its surprising to find .those who have received so little are capable of giving so much. Though Sherrie Quilter and her fellows at the Davis County Youth in Custody Center would be first to admit the youth they deal with must ultimately accept responsibility for their actions, they also know many of their Ivefore windin' charges had a pretty tough life e' behind bars. Some have already been involved in serious violent crime, others in gang activities, some in drugs and still others in all three. And, for a few, prison time yet awaits after they turn 18. Yet, to see the pride in their faces in completing the building of a doll house they will donate to the Center for Abused Youth this Christmas or in raising the flood gates on a working replica of Hoover Dam they constructed, one realizes they still have a lot to offer. Many of the kids in the Secure Unit haven't had a in their lives. chance to develop a lot of Quilter commented. But, getting them involved in projects like these helps them give back to the community and, hopefully, develop an interest in something other than getting into trouble. Their works project, the Hoover Dam prois a perfect example. ject. As part of their math classes and under the guidance of teachers Spence Robinson and Mark Mansell, the project was undertaken much like the original, though on a far smaller scale. The students had to draw up the plans, figure out how much concrete they'd need, where to put the diversion tunnels, how to hook up the intake towers and pipe the water through the structure, just like a working dam, explained Robinson. The group is particularly appreciative of the donation d of bags of concrete provided by Home Depot mini-publ- Tcnilics of the Year' to be CBS honored Monday in Layton LAYTON - In connection with the national and state observance of Family Week, Layton City is holding a reception Monday to honor and recognize citizens within the community that are considered outstanding examples of family living.

It took about four weeks to build the dam. including digging out a canyon to mimic the location along the Colorado River and providing a large excavation to stand in for Lake Mead. But, some of the hardest work came m figuring out how their version of Hoover Dam worked. I We wanted to determine how fast water flowed through the dam. how much water it impounded and how fast it would take all that water to empty out through the dam." noted Robinson. So we had to put our math skills to work. After determining it took about 15 seconds to drain a gallon of with water from the reservoir, it was easy for the young men to figure out a rate of four gallons per minute. But, finding out the volume of water in the lake was much more difficult because of its irregular bottom and sides. Still, using string strategically stretched out over its surface and taking careful measurings with a yard stick, they felt they had come out pretty close. "We figured the lake would hold between 240 and 250 gallons of water and, by dividing that by four gallons a minute, estimated it would take around 60 minutes to empty the lake," another youth reported. It actually took 57 minutes. Thats a result any general high school math class would feel good about. involved someway, somehow, that they're notified.
