We finally are spreading that Magna pride. People were working in their yards all over Magna. Many community volunteers worked on project areas or started cleaning up the dump sites. Kennecott supplied trucks driven by volunteer employees from Local 392 of the United Steel Workers.

Papanikolas is chosen as editor Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) is proud to announce a grant award of $6,680 from the Utah Endowment for the Humanities (UEH) for Separate Journeys. Endowment funds will be used to support the creation of a published catalog, a mounted exhibit, and a panel symposium. The catalog and the symposium provide written and spoken analysis, historical perspectives, and first person narrative to more fully explore the issues and ideas of Separate Journeys. is a multiSeparate Journeys faceted project centered around the acculturation of five ethnic groups in Utah Native American, Greek, Jewish, Hispanic, and Japanese. The goal of the enterprise is to broaden and promote the awareness and appreciation of each groups heritage and cultural diversity. RDT is especially please to have Helen Papanikolas, a Greek historian and highly respected scholar, as the catalogs editor. Other principal scholars who will act as catalog consultants and panelists include Kathryn Mackay, history professor, Weber State College; Kazuo Matsubayashi, architecture professor, University of Utah; William Gonzales, professor of Spanish literature. University of Utah; and Robert Goldberg, professor of history, University of Utah. The issues which RDT had to address in its application were those relating to educational programs that promote public exchange of ideas on a wide range of topics and issues. The various humanities disciplines, history, literature, etc. must to be integral to the project. Humanities scholars must be involved and a free 'exchange of ideas between artists, scholars, and audience should be promoted. RDT was one of only a few organizations to be granted the full amount requested on its application. As a result of the corporate merger between PacifiCorp and Utah Power and Light, a number of positions locally at Utah Power and Light have been eliminated and some other positions have been created. The Oquirrh District is now called the, Oquirrh Area and has been expanded west almost to the Nevada border. As a result of this, the position of Harold Bullock, community leader and Oquirrh District Manager, was eliminated. The move by the utility caused some apprehension locally with the imminent possibility that Mr. Bullock might have to move out of the community to fill another position for the company. This week, Mr. Bullock announced that he will be filling a newly created position in the Salt Lake South Region or (SUMET) South Utah Metro Region, where he will be the Regional Sales Manager. The move is a promotion for Mr. Bullock and, more importantly, he will be based out of the 40 East 1st South office and will not have to move out of his Magna home. Harold Bullock has been a key member of numerous Magna organizations and would have been sorely missed. He has had to slow down his community activities, though, until he can gage how much time he will have to devote to his new job. Mr. Bullock previously worked in the sales end of the company about ten years ago with both residential customers and dealers of electrical related equipment. Harold should do well in his new position; as Oquirrh District Manager, Harold has left his mark on Magna and should continue do so. The Utah Power and Light restructuring, which first looked bad for Magna, could be a major plus for the community because in addition to the retention of Mr. Bullock in the area, Magna may also benefit from the expertise and abilities of the new Oquirrh Area Manager, Craig A. Broussard. Starting out as a groundmalt, Mr. Broussard worked his way up as & journeyman lineman, crew supervisor, regional construction manager, Uinta District Manager, and finally Wyoming Regional Manager. He feels this gives him a more realistic view of his employees work. He knows from being out in the field if it is practical to do a job a certain way and how long it should take to do it. Craig is anxious to get involved in the community and is currently visiting with some of the local groups to see where he can best help. He holds a BSBA degree from the University of Phoenix. Currently, Craig and his wife Kelly are looking for a permanent home in the general area. His wife owned two travel agencies in Evanston and is looking for a related opportunity here. Craig is an avid reader, likes to and wants to start mountain biking. He also enjoys traveling. His goal is to become more involved in the community and to provide the highest service at the lowest cost. Craig said that there will be changes in the Oquirrh Area but first he wants to get to know things a little better in the area so those changes will be good ones. We are glad to welcome Craig Broussard to Magna and happy that we dont have to say goodbye to Harold Bullock. fly-fis- h, Free residential disposal at landfill during April Just in time for spring cleaning, the Salt Lake Valley Landfill, 6300 West 1300 South, will be offering free disposal to private citizens disposing trash from their personal residences during April. The average fee for private citizens is usually $2 depending on the size of the vehicle. Summer hours of operation, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, will be in effect from April through September. The landfill is closed on Sunday. Regular disposal fees are traditionally waived during April and October for residents disposing their own trash. Business operators, including rental and income property owners, will be charged at their regular commercial rate. I Daniel L. Bauer, solid waste division director, asks residents expecting to make a trip to the landfill to observe the following suggestions for safety and efficiency: (1) All loads must be covered or contained so that debris does not blow out of the vehicle (uncovered loads will be charged the regular fee; (2) Children and pets must remain in foe vehicle at all times; (3) Smoking is not allowed while at the landfill; and (4) Salvaging others discarded items is not permitted. We are anticipating large numbers of vehicles at foe landfill during April so we want to encourage everyone to be careful and courteous and allow plenty of time for your trip to foe landfill. Your safety is important to us, commented Mr. Bauer. , |
