DAY SALUTE TO Honor AMERICA reduce its size The Board of Directors of Intermountain Power Agency (IPA) has voted to continue with the financing and construction of the four unit 3,000 megawatt Intermountain Power Project (IPP) as scheduled. The decision was made Friday, June 11, at a special meeting called to consider studies of various alternatives for the size of the project. The studies were requested by the Coordinating Committee and Board last month when new higher construction cost estimates were presented to the Board by the Project Manager. The studies included continuing the scheduled four 750 megawatt units, but reducing the capital expenditure without damaging the integrity of the project; possible reduction of the plant size to two units; or delay of two of the four units to a later date. Both the cost of construction and financing, and the cost of energy were considered in the studies. In addition, the latest engineering data indicates that each generating unit will be able to operate at a higher capa city than previously estimated which will reduce energy costs further. Reducing the plant size from four to two units appeared to be the most of the alternatives that were studied in terms of the cost of energy even though the initial cost of construction is 47 less, the cost of energy at the completion date would be considerably more. costly Delaying units three and four for three years would result in an increase in the cost of power also. Construction cost and financing costs would also increase due to escalation during the longer project duration. The IPP Coordinating Committee met earlier to consider the alternatives, but failed to recommend any of th alternatives to the Board. Construction at the site has proceeded during these studies and the milestones for commercial major operation by 1986 and completion by 1989 are expected to be met, according to Chairman Nielsen. . . That Congress declares the The Utah Housing Finance Agency announced that it is in the process of completing a bond sale which would make approximately S103 million in mortgage funds available to Utah homebuyers by the end of June. According to Rick Burtenshaw, the Agencys Executive Director, the funds will be used to make a recently developed type of mortgage loan known as a Growth Equity Mortgage (GEM). The monthly payment of a GEM loan begins as a normal 30 year loan. However, at the beginning of the second through the tenth years, the monthly payment increases by three percent of the amount of the previous years payment. The GEM mortgage is unique, because the inBurtenshaw said, crease in the payment is applied to the outstanding principal balance of the loan instead of being used to pay additional interest. This provides the home-ownwith two great advantages. First, the homeowner's equity increases more rapidly and the loan is paid off in 15 years and 9 months, and second, the homeowner pays substantially less in interest over the life of the loan. the to Burtenshaw, According mortGEM the feels that type Agency gage loan is the most advantageous for the homebuyer of all the new kinds of mortgages. The Agency is very excited about the new program, he said. It is anticipated that the funds made available from the upcoming bond sale will provide approximately 2,000 mortgage loans throughout the State and will give a boost to the staggering housing construction industry. The program will utilize about $4.5 million of an appropriation provided by the State Legislature. The appropriation is a loan, said Burtenshaw, "and will be totally repaid to the State. The program should also return more in tax revenues to the State within one year than it cost. Because of a requirement of the State of the appropriation, more than 85 S103 million will be used for homes to be newly constructed, and it is important that builders do not begin construction on any homes until after clearing it with their mortgage lender, according to Burtenshaw. The Utah Housing Finance Agency has been operational since 1977 and has sold nearly $400 million of its bonds and notes to provide funds for more than twenty-on- e days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America, that there be public gatherings and activities at which the people can celebrate and honor their country in an appropriate manner.

Trooper Skinner complimented the Scipio EMTs on the way they assisted the two injured victims at the scene. He said, I was very impressed with their professionalism. He added that UHP Trooper Burtis Quarnberg also assisted the EMTs and helped with traffic control. Deputy Robert Dekker rushed to the scene and aided with traffic control, he said, and that prior to his arrival a number of Scipio residents were at the scene directing traffic. Skinner was assisted in his investigation by UHP Sgt. Lyle Evans. He said both the Fiat and the semi were demolished. The trooper said Miss Frey was very lucky to not have been injured worse than she was as the Fiat was literally torn apart the roof was gone and the front door ripped off. The semi was owned by Champion Building Products of Salt Lake City, he said. - Cast announced for the Chief Kanosh Pageant By Arva Dale Ashman The tryouts for the pageant were a success and we are pleased to announce the cast for this year's pageant: Chief Kanosh, Scott Tarbet; Walkara, Curtis Hare; Arrapene, Mait Hancox; Ancient One, Dean Robison; Woo Wah Goots, Zee Spain; Bear Robe Woman, Ruth Zmitravich.

People are needed w ho w ill volunteer their time and talents to help the Soil Conservation Service and local soil conservation districts get more conservation on the land while keeping federal costs down. In the new volunteer program, authorized by the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981, people could perform a wide range of services on a part-timor basis, such as aiding with field survevs and layout of conservation education conservation practices; programs in schools, churches and clubs; training of high school, vocational and agricultural students for soil and land judging contests; and building e full-tim- e or making use of outdoor learning areas with schools, Scouts and other groups. Volunteers will not be paid, but they will find it is satisfying and interesting work. They would not be considered federal employees, but they will receive legal protection as well as insurance for any injuries. Lack of such protection discouraged volunteer service in the past. The Soil Conservation Service had only a small student volunteer program under the Civil Service Reform Act. work-relate- d Anyone interested in volunteering should contact the local office of the Soil Conservation Service or write to USDA-Soi- l Conservation Service.
