Show Program to aid Spring City to study hydro-powplant children with abuse problems by Betty Robbins SPRING CIT- Y- A proposal to study the feasibility of constructing a hydro-electri- c power plant by the city was presented to the council Wednesday night by Alden Robinson of Sunrise Engineering Inc. The proposed study would be a joint effort between the firms of Larry Perkins and Robinson. Preliminary studies by Perkins citing the potential of relocating, enlarging and generating hydro electric power on the culinary system along with a study by Robinson on the potential of using the existing irrigation system, had been used to obtain a $15,000 matching grant from the Western Area Power Administration. The grant is to be used to make a detailed study of the feasibility of constructing a new hydro electric power plant. Robinson said that the city uses aout 3.4 million kilo watt hours of power a year. The city produces about 1.2 million of these with the existing power plant. The Coloardo River Storage Project and Hunter II power that the city owns supplies 2.2 million KWH. He went on to say that the existing power plants life is used up and that there is the possibility of damage to the plant in the event of a natural disaster such as a flood or land slide. Several reasons were brought to the attention of the council as to why they should consider a new plant. Among these being that there are several areas available to the shown in all North Sanpete elementary schools and the Head Start according to Kay Jensen Public Health Nurse. Designed for elementary-agel, d children, kindergarten through sixth grade, the program is also adaptable for older or younger aged children and is recommended by the Utah State Boards and North Sanpete Board of Education, and the Association. Utah Parent-Teache- r A voluntary elected program that must have the active support of concerned adults, material is presented on video tape and in information brochures in a calm, nonthreatening way, Mrs. Jensen said. Parents whose children have seen the presentation are encouraged to talk with their children about the safety rules presented and tailor them to their familys personal schedules and needs. Mrs. Jensen said several referrals have already been made as a result of the program. She expressed gratitude to the parents, volunteers, teachers and others who helped with the program and to Mindy Mellor, Lorie Jenkins, Roxann Miller, Michelle Estey and Sherrie Christensen who Justin Stanley Hardy, son of Stanley and Lana Hardy, Warm Springs, Nv., celebrated his first birthday March 14.

Figures reveal one out of four females is assaulted before reaching the age of 18 and boys are also victims of sexual abuse.

Robinson stated that from an engineering point of view Spring City has an opportunity to use grant funds to study and to plan to bring revenue to the community. He said c that a power plant could have far reaching effects on the community. He said that the engineers proposal would include project costs, energy output, cost effectiveness study, financial planning and return on the investment. If at anytime the feasibility of the project did not show potential, he said that the study would be discontinued. The council asked for a detail of the planned study to be submitted at the May 7, council meeting. The detail of the study will need to have a breakdown of the costs of the study along with a detailed outline of the proposed study. . Larry, Perkins then reported on the water project and said that Phase II of the project was completed with the exception of some cleanup mid-size- on landing on its wheels in the pit.
