We didnt know of the April 9 parade (in Magna), said KKAT general manager, Dennis Gwiazdon. We pulled the promotion off the air about the parade as soon as we found out their was a conflict. We want to be on the good side of the parade people of Magna. The KKAT April Fools promotion about the Magna parade apparently began on March 20, when the radio station the event. announced Russians arms control inspectors and numerious floats were to supposedly be included and even entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr., was to be the grand marshal. S. L.

Little Falls Cafe owner Tom Monsarret joked that, Ill close the cafe! if people request the free breakfast.

Our intention is to maintain a sense of humor, said the stations predicted, general Were manager. committed to help the entire area grow. Even with KKATTs apparent desire not to offend anyone, redevelopment association president, J. Howard Stahle , did not see much humor in it. Magna has been the butt of too many jokes for so long ... Gwiazdon then quickly added. We don't single Magna out, because we do it to everyone. He cited KKATs desire to promote the April 9 clean up-fi- x up parade is a gesture of good will.

A series of open houses and displays for various Church departments is scheduled for the week preceeding the General I the Magna Community Council discussed the pros and cons of Hercules and its zone. Besides council members and a Hercules officials, Salt Lake Countys public works department was also represented. Were concerned about the oversaid council pressure zone, president, Laura Jo McDermaid. That concern was noted in question posed to Hercules Jack DeMann, on the subject of location and expansion. Why are you building north? over-pressu- re asked council member LaRee Pehrson, "instead of south? A major DeMann answered Coons Canyon. Our problem production of missile propellant needs to be on not more than a six percent grade. Because we need more level land,, the canyon would cause big problems. Mike Retford, council secretary, wondered What assurances do we have that (would stop Hercules) from expanding into other areas, which would increase the hazard?" The public affairs director observed his company is accountable to the is federal, state, and county government. Hercules has to show the government how much in each building is holding propellant. We are told how big each facility can be and how much propellant can be put in each building. The Department of Defense's rules maintain that each building must be placed so that if one explodes, it will not blow up the others." Conference into historic Magna, which would undoubedly attract attention. The opportunities for making the community attractive are apparently endless. Art work courtesy of Richard Chong and Associates. DeMann said the facilities are so that an explosion constructed would blow the roof off. The energy would go up into the atmosphere." He predicted on a warm and sunny to weather day, according specialists, the explosions force would be directed skyward. An overcast would cause more damage. Another question of Pehrson s was Why the risk here, when Morton Thiokol is 30 miles from human habitation? We are only three miles from Hercules. DeMann stressed weather conditions and not proximity, is the major factor. Weather forecasters are the ones who can discern what might happen better than I. Weather conditions have a great deal to do with how great the hazard would be. An explosion at Hercules would be similar to a 92 mph wind gust, which would happen just once after the disaster. A high wind tends to keep things moving with the force. This would be a one time gust. R.T. (Terry) Holzworth of the countys public works department said the county has already checked into the possible damage of what an explosion might do, besides doing a best-fi- t type of survey. DeMann observed West Valley Citys annexation of Hercules would stop further growth by the aerospace giant in that communty. Homeowners who have built their zone residences in the West to Hercules with annex may Valley, noted the publicist. over-pressu- noted that homeowners insurance rates should It was also not increase, because the boundries of the zone have not changed. Hercules public affairs director said his company has planned to construct an incinerator, which would eliminate 99.9 pecent of any chemical waste put into it. We re doing all we can to meet all applicable rules and regulations. Hercules is looking at all the latest .technology in providing safety and over-pressu- zone over-pressu- re reliability for its employees and the general public." DeMann said both the U.S. Navy and the federal government are Hercules' watching operations closely, to determine how adequate its facilities and operations are for fulfilling space defense contracts. The aerospace giant began its quest in 1983 for gaining defense contracts, at it hoped the Reagan administration would look for a second source in fulfilling it's need. Hercules officials felt the company's future was in space defense technology, which is where the government s sentiments appear to be . After encouraging the National and Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) to look for an alternate defense contract supplier, Hercules pledged million in order to gain noteriety. alternate plan was accepted in Decembeer 1985. but the January 1986 space shuttle disaster put technology on hold. The recent awarding to Hercules of the Delta II and Titan IV contracts illustrated the need for expansion, said DeMann. "Hercules needs to move forth on expansion for new contract opportunities." J. Howard Stahle asked the question of whether Hercules considered themselves part of Magna. The answer was yes they had been here many years, received their mail here and considered this their home base. However they were receiving the feeling from some Magna residents that maybe theyre not wanted. Mr. Stahle stated he hoped that some day they could still be annexed into a new Magna and hopefully Hunter area as well. The $150 Magna tick - off next week April BY DALE J.
