Rent Ingborg of Curacao was one of several hundred bystanders attending the ceremonies of the N. Eldon Tanner Building. At the end of the ceremonies the crowd gathered south of the alumni building located on the edge of the upper campus to watch the dynamite blast below at lower campus. N. Eldon Tanner, a member of the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints and the individual the new School of Management building will be named after, pressed the button, detonating the ceremonial blast. A shock wave from the blast and then the loud blast frightened many bystanders and a rock about long struck the woman in the left shoulder knocking her to the ground. The woman was comforted by university officials and bystanders and paramedics later transported her to the Utah Valley Hospital where she was treated and released.

He said that he had felt sand particles Herald Staff Reporter Provo City attorney and commissioner say they'll recommend the city go to court to get a conditional use permit for a solid waste landfill site in Elberta. The Utah County Board of Adjustment denied the permit Friday in the county commission chambers of the Utah County Courthouse after a roomful of Elberta residents protested the proposed site. Some residents accused the city of "buying off" state agencies and some officials of the LDS Church to get approval for various aspects of the landfill project. Provo received permission last month from the Utah State Division of Lands to lease 640 acres of land north of Elberta from the state to use as a new sanitary landfill site. The approval was dependent upon the city's obtaining a conditional use permit from Utah County to allow a landfill in that area. The city's present landfill, located near the golf course, is nearly full, according to Dave Gunn, city sanitation department director. The Elberta site, located 5Vi miles north of Elberta and about four miles from Utah Lake on the west side of Highway 68, is currently zoned mining and grazing. County zoning laws allow landfills as a conditional use. Gunn explained to the board that the city would compact its garbage into bales wrapped with strong steel bands, load them on flatbed trucks, cover the bales with tarps and truck the garbage to the landfill site. He said the city would probably take about four or five loads daily. The bales would be covered in the landfill with two feet of dirt every night, and the site would be surrounded by a high chainlink fence, Gunn assured the A outreach specialist, who is also a ft Revolutionary War l'tah-P- ae 3 ' Zi.

Oaks remarked that there were a lot of doctors around but said it was unfortunate that they were Ph.Ds and not medical doctors. He said. "Ph.Ds are useless in a situation like this." The woman was in pain but conscious and smiled as she talked with Church President Spencer W. Kimball. She told sometone to tell President Tanner not to worry about her because the incident would only help her to remember the important occasion sanitary landfills can be built so that they do not damage the surrounding areas. He said the city was as systematic as it could be in finding the best available site. "We've met every condition," he emphasized. "We've done everything we've been advised to do and we're willing to meet any additional conditions. "This is not a garbage dump; it is a modern sanitary landfill. It will not be unsightly or observable from the road, or cut down on tourist trade." he tried to assure the audience. He said he had been in contact with the Presiding Bishopric's Office (PBO) of the LDS Church in Salt Lake City for the past 10 days. The LDS Church owns stake farms near the proposed landfill site. He said the churdh asked him what the landfill would do to productivity, water, etc. Clarke said he referred all their questions to experts. and it is the "The PBO has no more reservations principal landholder in the area," Clarke said. When Clarke sat down, an Elberta man stood up and said he received a phone call before he came to the meeting which instructed the man to fight the permit because Provo had "bought off" some people in the PBO. "I don't know how you bought off the Department of Transportation and the Highway Department," continued the man, "but you bought them off because that road is closed at least two weeks out of the at times. After the motion was seconded, Dalebout asked for the record that the board say what its conditions are for the city to obtain the conditional use permit. The board refused and passed Jackson's motion unanimously. Both Commissioner Clarke and Provo City Attorney Glenn Ellis said they would recommend to the city commission that it take the matter to court rather than pursue alternate sites. Ellis said he'll recommend the court route because the board was "arbitrary and capricious" in its denial of the permit. ST. PAUL, Minn. (UPI) People who use honey in an effort to cut their consumption of table sugar may be getting more calories instead of fewer. Honey tastes sweeter than an equal measure of sugar, says nutritionist Mary Darling, "but a cup of honey contains more than 1,000 calories compared to 770 in a cup of table sugar. Honey's chief advantage over sugar probably is its flavor, the extension nutritionist says. And, lor some people, it seems to satisfy their craving for sweet more radily than sugar, she says. year."

When the arguing ended, Jackson moved that the conditional use permit be denied.

Elberta residents expressed fear that people would simply dump their garbage along the fence; that well water would be contaminated by runoff water, and that the state highway could not stand the tons of gar- bage to be trucked over it daily. The state highway department checked the highway and said the trucking should not hurt the road according to Deputy Provo City Attorney Richard Dalebout. He said private engineers assured them there would be no contamination from water r?lA IHS' runoff. Gunn said the city had checked out all available alternative sites and was assured by experts this was the best site available. He said the city would have to spend another $10,000 or more to hire the same ex- y&JLV) perts, perform the same tests, etc. to find another site. He said regardless of where they would select a site, the people closest to it would protest. When Dalebout reminded the board that it could only set conditions, it could not deny the permit without sound reasons why Provo could not meet its conditions, board member Richard Jackson accused the city of trying to intimidate the board. "I'm just a simple farmboy," he said. Another Elberta resident said he didn't want people to start saying,"Where's Elberta? Oh that's where Provo dumps their garbage." "We're asking for your sympathy," the man told the board. Dalebout assured the protesters the city would be liable for any damages if it were prove the landfill were responsible.
