He told the commission that recently defeated County Loree C. Memmott and Deputy Clerk Katherine Anderson have been doing most of the computer work afterhours at no extra pay. They have been doing the cleanup and the backup work on the computer, and he is "concerned with the handwriting on the wall, meaning that he sees the computers operation passed to his department. Fowkes told the commission that he is not dedicated or grateful enough to do the work afterhours without pay. $4 million goes through here each year, he said, speaking of the computer. He proposed that a separate department be set up, and that the county hire a computer coordinator. He also asked for a decision so that a budget could be planned for that department before the new budget is finalized and ready for the commission to approve. The countys fiscal year begins in January. Fowkes was told that he should prepare a separate budget for the Clerk-Audit- or Bantam Basketball tryouts are Wednesday at armory Tryouts for the Juab Bantam Basketball program will be held at the Nephi National Guard Armory Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 6 p.m. The program is open to kids 1 1 to 13 years of age before Sept. 1.

Hardly anyone familiar with Spanish Fork Canyon would dispute the fact that wind is a frequent occurrence there, but generally it doesnt blow during the period of greatest demand for power. So while directors of the power agency several months ago were discussing the advisability of installing some windmills to learn if generators attached to them could develop enough electricity to make them worthwhile, Grant Whitehead of Springville had an idea. Why not use electricity generated by the windmills to run pumps to lift water to small reservoirs in the lower foothills of the canyon? The water would then be released to make electricity when the demand for power is greatest. Afterward, the water would be stored in holding ponds until the rising evening breeze provided the energy needed to pump it back to the reservoirs. It seemed like a good idea, but the then fledging UMPA simply didnt have the money to finance a pilot project. In looking around for help, the UMPA decided to take the idea to the WAPA in Salt Lake City, who suggested more information on the velocity and frequency of the Spanish Fork Canyon wind should be obtained. LaMar Day, public utilities specialist and conservation officer for the WAPAs Salt Lake City office, went to work. In other states, he found three wind velocity recorders the WAPA could make available to the UMPA for G.
