Some of the comments from the kids were that the course was informative informa-tive and helpful. Although the students at the moment weren't using a lot of banking services, the class gave them good information infor-mation so that they would be more aware of how the bank system works and how to manage their finances. One of the major benefits of this mini-banking course is that it is taught by a local bank who is a member of the Utah Bankers Association. The class at SHS was taught by Gary Jensen, the branch manager of Springville First Security Bank. Gary has been involved with banking and finance for over 12 years and has just recently been promoted to his position at the bank. He has lived in Springville for 10 years with his wife and four children. Jensen enjoyed teaching this banking class and feels that it is beneficial for the students to learn the practical application of banking and business before they leave school and hopefully they will be able to avoid some common com-mon mistakes This course is available to any school and can be modified to the different grade levels.

Pumping has been suggested as a solution, but Wheeler thinks pumping is probably not feasible. "First, where are you going to put the water? More importantly, I think it could destroy the aquifer." aqui-fer." Mize said for now, whether or not residents want to drink water is largely a personal decision. No cautions or restrictions on use of the water have been issued. Mize stressed the RDX level is not considered dangerous, and emphasized em-phasized the need for a common sense approach to the problem. Mize thought detection of the substance could prompt health officials to expand water monitoring monitor-ing on a regular basis. Mize said RDX was not detected de-tected in the city water supply after the 1986 rupture of the nitrate pond at Trojan, but it is possible RDX was present but missed at that time due to testing inaccuracies. More frequent testing will give an accurate picture if the RDX level is stable or fluctuating, and could help isolate the source of the problem. Increased testing for RDX or any other substance not currently monitored could be costly. Trojan is currently footing the bill for the tests that found the RDX. State health officials are trying to assess the pathway by which the RDX reached the city wells. RDX is insoluble, and would likely have traveled from its discharge or disposal site into the ground water through fractures in the ground. It could have originated origi-nated from the 1986 rupture or from some other disposal practice or been accidentally or intentionally intention-ally dumped on the ground. "How to pass on the information informa-tion without creating hysteria or appearing evasive is difficult," Mize said. "We hope to put it in perspective so people can decide how they feel about it, like going to the store and reading the labels to decide if you will buy the product or not. " The RDX was discovered just as the city was making preparations prepara-tions to provide municipal water to all those whose wells were rendered unsafe by nitrates. Some private wells are testing significantly signifi-cantly higher for the substance. One tests closer to 20 parts per billion, but that is still within the safe range. The tests are considered consid-ered accurate above 14ppb. But some Mapleton residents are not happy to have any amount of an explosive compound in their water, whether it's stable or not. "Other people don't have to drink it, why should we?" questioned ques-tioned one resident who asked not to be identified. Unlike the nitrate ni-trate contamination which apparently appar-ently continued for several years before well owners became aware of it, the RDX problem was reported immediately to private and public well owners by Trojan representatives. State and city officials began researching the problem at once, even before receiving copies of test documentation documen-tation on Monday. By Monday, state drinking water representatives representa-tives had met at least twice on the problem and expanded testing had begun. Be wiser than other people if you can, but do not tell them so.
