Swearing in Tim Butikofer - Councilman Wind Power in Eastern Summit County? CHERYL OVARD Bee Editor Coalville, or vicinity nearby, could be the next site for the wind-power set-up in Summit County. It is becoming a popular way of generating economical sources of electricity, and landowners are eager to give it a try in “their” area. The costs are outstanding – even for testing – and the costs of the initial set-up is in the millions, but in the long run, it could be a great way to capture the power from natures own sources – the wind! Summit County is a prime area to test this out, and there are areas coming from canyons and tops of hills which may be “just the spot to put a wind power operations” in. The landowners would also be making a profit off of having one in their field. It makes sense – and Rocky Mountain Power has the financial sources available to find more money for this type of wind-generated electricity. Mayors of Summit County met and discussed this possibility, and there is a need – and a way – now to find the place and the right time to set this up for testing. Money is always a question, but the needs are becoming more evident, according to Tracy Livingston, chief executive officer of Heberbased Wasatch Wind. Go Classifieds!

They sang a rendition of several patriotic songs, including the National Anthem. Their favorite song appeared to be a song entitled “There’s No Place Like Utah”! They sang two songs with them both singing and using signing. They did an outstanding job! The students were also able to tour the Utah State Capitol, and enjoyed many of the same things as the North Summit students did. Their teachers, Linda Hilton, Joe Demers, Terry Black and Nancy Berry, could be seen on the front row really ‘getting into the songs’ with the kids! The Utah State Capitol was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting in 1912, and completed in 1916. In 2004 the reconstruction and renovation began for a complete engineering achievement, putting millions of pounds of concrete under the building and making it earthquake safe. New artwork and fixtures, as well as furnishings, were acquired. New service buildings were constructed, landscape added, and many items were refurbished and kept as they once were. The visitor services offers educational programs, workshops and events through the year, as well as providing customized tours of the art of the Capitol, its architecture, history and how it was reconstructed and renovated. A DVD will soon be available showing how the Capitol was completely taken apart and put back together piece by piece. Check out the website at utahstatecapitol.utah.gov - or call (801) 5381800.
