Treatments will include aerial seeding using a mixture of cereal barley and native perennial seed. The seed mixture will be applied on all high severity burn areas in Buckley Draw and the upper Pit Creek areas. Cereal barley is a preferred seed that establishes quickly and provides cover for erosion control. The native perennial pe-rennial seed mixes were developed devel-oped specifically for emergency rehabilitation treatments. The mixes will help restore ecosystem Open house Sat. (Smifiir by Christi C.

The purpose of straw mulch is to provide ground cover destroyed by a fire. Mulching Mulch-ing also reduces the risk for surface erosion and improves seeding success by retaining moisture needed for germination. Wire fencing has been installed in-stalled in the lower portion of Buckley Draw. The fencing was installed to slow a debris flow. The intent of this treatment is to slow rolling rocks before they gain enough momentum to dislodge dis-lodge other materials, and pose a threat to downslope property. A Remote Automatic Weather Station has been installed on top itoS torn down and reconstructed during the past year, with new classrooms and offices built. Stained glass windows in the building, including in the chapel, were removed, restored and replaced. The chapel and cultural hall areas and an area on the south side of the building were kept intact but renovated. Original walls in these three areas were kept in place but reinforced with concrete to make them more durable in the event of an earthquake. ear-thquake. The chapel area has been renovated with attention given to preserving the chapel's historic character. The original light fixtures have been rewired and rehung with additional can lighting light-ing added to enhance the brightness bright-ness of the chapel. Carved wooden wood-en beams arching over the congregation con-gregation area of the chapel were protected during renovation and remain in place. The chapel's wooden benches could not be saved, but the unique design of the ends of the benches has been replicated for the new benches. A unique feature of this church is the four plaster reliefs -located along one side of the chapel. These reliefs, which depict de-pict scenes from the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were originally sculpted by artist Torlief Knaphus and cast in plaster as tests prior to the reliefs being cast in bronze. The bronze castings of ' these reliefs are now located at SPRINGVILLE, UT.H n n n djt of Buckley Mountain. The purpose pur-pose of RAWS is to activate an early warning system that links to the National Weather Service and Provo City Dispatch Center. A RAWS will trigger a flash flood warning of areas at risk when rain gages a record sustained rainfall. The system is designed to alert residents of potential debris flows and flood hazard. Residents near the Springville Fire should continue to work with local, state and federal agencies to protect their property from potential soil movement that will result from heavy, localized rainfall or spring snowmelt next year. Soil movement and a debris flow are possible for several years following a wildland fire that burns as intensely as the church the Hill Cumorah in New York. The plaster castings have been preserved in the Springville chapel but have been colorized by Salt Lake City artist Dale Jolley, who also provided detail work within the recently dedicated Nauvoo, Illinois, temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Latter-day Saints. The color on the paster castings has a light, pastel look and enhances the details and three-dimensional quality of the artwork. The podium area in the chapel has been lowered so the podium level can be reached easily. A handicapped ramp has been added on one side of the podium. In fact, the entire building has been made handicapped-accessible through the renovation. The building's basement housed several classrooms. Although Al-though it still exists, the basement base-ment will now only be used for maintenance purposes. The building's build-ing's furnaces have been moved to the attic. A stage area in the cultural hall has been removed and the cultural hall renovated to house a basketball court. The unique arched style of the cultural hall's ceiling has been preserved. The church will now house the Springville Third and Fourth wards as well as the Spring Creek South Fourth Ward. Sunday Sun-day meeting times will be as follows: Springville Third Ward, 9 a.m. to noon.
