Show fHE SALT LAKE TIMES FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1973. Construction Plant Formed to Serve Engineering Firms Environmental Trade-off- s Help With Benefits from Project C-- U r.,. -- . v a j. ii When. we talk about our environment, we should talk about trout stream and forested mountain sides, back packing, and hiking. But at the same time, we must talk about the providing of enough water so that our.chil-- dren can continue to . live here in Utah; so Utah farmers can improve more of our arid land, providing more and better food stuffs, and we must talk about such taken for granted subjects as being able to water our lawns. We must talk about Utahs total environment, Lynn Ludlow, the general manager of the Central Utah. Water Conservancy District, authorizing sponsor of the Central Utah Project, told the Kiwanians Thursday. The environmental tradeoffs required by the Central Utah Project have been studied, restudied and studied again. The potential harm to Utahs environment is minimal, even when considered by itself and is really very small when compared to the tremendous benefits which will come to Utah as a result of the Central Utah Project,' said Mr. Ludlow. When we talk of our total environment, of both protecting and enhancing our present environment and of providing for the future that is when we must consider the trade-offJThe fact is that we must give up seven miles of stream to enlarge the storage capacity of Strawberry Reservoir, but for those seven miles of stream we get increased recreational value from the Reservoir itself, and the controlled use of that water down stream during late summer and fall when we need it, rather than the flooding in the spring. This is an example of the trade offs involved, and, again, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages all down the line. Ask any of the fishermen who were on the Strawberry Reservoir last week end, he said. Opponents of the Central Utah Project contend that Utah has plenty cf water. That simply is not true. The fact is that areas of Salt Lake County are today living on borrowed water. Because Utah has experienced its above normal precipitation recently,' this water, which actually belongs to others, has been available to Salt Lake County. But this condition wont last for ever Utah must have the Centra s. r. r; . f : ' Utah Project, he said. The CUP was conceived and is being constructed to meet the present and future water needs, of the state. One portion of the project, the Bonneville unit will make water available to the Wasatch front, where water demands are urgent, he said. Water from the Uinta Mountains, which now flows out of Utah via the Green and Colorado Rivers, will be captured, and stored by the CUP. Through a series of reservoirs, tunnels, aqueducts and exchanges some of this water will be made available to the Wasatch Front. The Bonneville unit water will meet the ' water needs now and for years to come. We do net have the surplus water that environmentalists claim we have. If we weret o use all the surface and sub surface water along the Wasatch front (one of the main alternatives proposed by the Sierra we would dry up the Great Salt Lake including the managed cr unmanaged wildlife sanctuaries. No one is in favor cf drying up the Great Salt Lake and destroying these wildlife sanctuaries. The water experts have chosen the most beneficial water plan with the least damaging, envi- Donald L. Pisciotta, President of Devenco-Uta- h Incorporated, the western division of the New York based Devenco Incorporated family of engineering firms, has announced the formation of a new construction company, Devenco-Uta- h Constructors, Incorporated. The new company is located at 316 West Second South Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101. Its telephone number is (801) 328-341- Devenco-Uta- h j Open Family Room Shelves Easily Built A free standing shelf system for family room or bedroom is easy to construct, and imaginative use of materials gives it individuality. inch Corner posts are western wood, and depending on length desired, two or three pairs of 2x2s can be used for center supports. For a different look, use laminations of six slightly spaced 2x2s for the shelves rather than boards. They can be drilled and dowels inserted for extra hidden support where the center posts are attached. Easily worked western wood takes all finishes well and the shelf systems can be painted or stained to fit any decorating plan. The shelves can be constructed so they are easily taken apart and moved, making them desirable for an apartment as well as a house.

Mountain Bell Lists Opportunity For Employees, Woman Installer If a man answers your call to ters the buzzing, crawling crit- the operator, maybe its because the ladys installing telephones. Mrs. Jann Nelson cf Salt Lake City is the first woman installer working for Mountain Bell in Utah. For the past six months she has been installing phones or changing the location of phones in residences. Her job requires that she use a screwdriver, needlenose pliers and a dozen other tools as delicately as she would a fingernail file. In addition ,when she climbs poles she wears a heavy safety belt and climbing hooks on her feet. Most people are surprised whdn I say Im from the .telephone company. They are not expecting a .woman, she said. Mountain Bell District Manager Earl Wallace said the utility has filed an Affirmative Action Plan which opens all telephone company jobs to all employees, regardless of race, sex, age or national origin. One part of the program is a transfer plan that enables non management employees to transfer to any other job in the company of they can pass the tests or requirements for the job. The effect has een that men have been working as operators while wemen have been working such traditionally male jobs as frame men, installers or combination men. Mrs. Nelson worked as a long distance operator for three years before transferring to installer. I wanted an outdoor job that would allow me to have personal contact with the customers I serve, she said. She has had personal contact with other things to, like the poodle that bit her leg and bees and spiders..

I was pulling drop, wire into a building one day when a voice from behind asked me why I. didn't cut my hair and start . locking like a man. He was very embarrassed when I turned and replied, because Im a woman, Mrs. Nelson laughed. Mountain Bell service Fdreman Merlin McGrey said Mrs. Nelson is going a good job installing telephones. District Manager Hymans said he expcctsmore women to transfer to installed jobs and men to work as operators in the future. The telephone company is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a work force ratio at least on part with minority and women in. the labor market.
