Hundreds of other EKS events were held all across the world. Shriver started an in-clusive sports camp in the early 1960s that blossomed into a worldwide movement in over 170 countries. This year marked the first annual EKS Day named in her hon or, which will be held every fourth Saturday in Septem-ber. At the Pleasant Grove Recreation Center, at seven in the morning, volunteers came pouring in from all across the state to help run. the Special Olympics Basketball State Qualifiers. Athletes from all ages with unique dis-abilities came to compete and have fun. They played in two different divisions on half-cour- ts from eight in the morning until one in the af-ternoon in front of hundreds of fans loudly cheering them on. The pinnacle of this event was the awards cer-emony where all the smiling athletes anxiously awaited volunteers to hand them their ribbons and place their med-als around their neck. This was truly a beautiful sight full of smiles, laughter, and tears. This moving scene was made possible by Pleas-ant Grove City, the Special Olympics Utah Organization, hundreds of volunteers, and the athletes who created an unforgettable scene for ev-eryone involved in this first EKS Day.

The plant, pipeline, res-ervoir and penstock was fin-ished by 1907 and as Eva Warburton Proctor noted in her history, Pleasant Grove now had their own Greek Temple and a beacon on the hill. It is unknown why the plant had the Greek-styl- e col-umns, but it certainly added charm to the otherwise con-spicuous building. At the time of construc-tion, steel manufacturers in America were unable to sup-ply Telluride with the need- -' ed pipe and so a specially constructed steel pipe was shipped from Germany to Galveston, Texas, then by rail to Utah. The five foot circumfer-ence feeder pipe connecting Battle Creek Spring to the res-ervoir was made of wooden tongue and groove slats held together with steel rings placed short distances apart. After the plant was in use, Ed Warburton could be seen walking along the pipe with his bag of oakum fiber used to mend the leaks. The wooden pipeline brought water from Blue Creek and Battle Creek Springs to the reservoir behind Little Mountain, then the steel pen-stock pipe conducted the water downhill to the hydroelectric plant. The pipeline wound two and one-ha- lf miles around the hills and "hollers" between the top of the mountain to Blue Creek and one mile to Battle Creek then into the block-lon- g 75 foot deep reservoir. Five weir boxes were built, one on each spring and three at the top of the mountain to facili-tate measuring the flow of wa-ter. The boxes were built of one and one-ha- lf inch planks, measured ten feet high and six feet across and were rein-forced with steel bolts. War-burton would measure the wa-ter each day so each box would hold the same amount at both springs. Beginning in 1907, War-burton regulated the water levels and amount of water go ing down the penstock manu-ally. During the Spring, runoff and snow slides could cause a great deal of damage and so the boxes were watched espe-cially close during these times. He would also check the reservoir during the winter months and fix any problems or leaks. His full-tim- e care-taker job ended in 1917 when an automatic float device was perfected. Nunn sold his Telluride Power Company in 1912 to the newly formed Utah Power and Light which operated the plant until its closure in 1957. An era had ended and within several years the landmark had been demolished, leaving only a memory for the history books. r i , " ,.; V . i " : . ' ( - ' ' - 1 ... , ' ' ; S .' ' |
