Nine To West County Residents CofC Hears Graphite Talk; Honors Perry by Paula Huff Green Sheet Staff Writer TAYLORSVILLE. Graphite is the material of the future; it might replace aluminum and will make polar orbits of the Earth feasible. Were heading into a new era with graphite composite, Dave i, government manager for Hercules affairs Bacchus Works, told the West Valley Area Chamber of Commerce here Thursday. We will see some real expansion in the next few years,. he said. Right now, Hercules is leading the way in graphite composite. We are the largest manufacturer and supplier of graphite, Nicponski pointed out. Hercules biggest competitor for graphite composite products is Japan. But Japans product lacks quality, Nicponski said. We recently took a group of Japanese people through the graphite production portion of Hercules, he said. After, we had to check the soles of their shoes because they would love to pick some up and take it with them. Its that competitive. - Nine residents of Green Sheet area communities in the west valley area will be among those receiving the highest award given by the Great Salt Lake Boy Scout Council here tonight Gov. Norm Bangerter, a longtime friend of the scouting program, will be the tribute speaker during a 7:30 p m. program at Symphony Hall Presenting the awards will be council president Kevin R Watts and his wife. Serving as emcees will be Mark Van Margaret Smoot. Wagoner ex- tremely secretive about the d ingredients of graphite. But he did say the product starts out as a string and is run through a heating process. It eventually comes out in sheet form, he said. Hercules recently received a contract on the Delta II program, which is a strap-o- n booster rocket. Hercules is also hoping for a contract on the booster rocket for unmanned launch vehicles, which could replace the space shuttle. The space shuttle flight scheduled after the Challenger explosion in January of 1986 was a polar orbit. Hercules was working on a lightweight booster rocket made of graphite, which would make the mission possible. A polar orbit has never been launched because the systems have been too heavy, Nicponski said. Graphite would have reduced the weight of the system and made a polar orbit possible. Nicponski said a polar orbit of the Earth would give satellites a better perspective. There are several defense applications too, he said. Nicponski said Hercules is a leader in the space program, but e construction in the zone could limit the company. If construction continues in the e zone, the cost of liability insurance for Hercules increases. The more homes in the area, the higher the companys liability costs, Nicponski said. Hercules has other plants in Texas and West Virginia that need the work. If liability costs at the West Valley facility get too high, the work will be distributed to other Hercules plants. That will hurt Utahs economy, petroleum-base- Nicponski said. We at Hercules have been concerned about construction in the zone for the last 15 he said. There can be years, grave consequences. To date, we think we have moved in the right direction. But we have to reach a solution - we have to reach it quickly.

Perry is the business license division administrator for West Valley City. She has helped save the city thousands of dollars in tax revenue with her efficiency, commented George Floor, a member of the Chambers board of directors. Joanie makes a sincere effort to help all the people who come to apply for a business license, whether the business is large or small, he said. She will go out of her way to help them get started by doing whatever she can to get information from the state agencies. She will even deliver certificates in person if there is a need. Perry also spearheads the citys program each year and she has a special interest in the homeless. About twice a week, she fills her car with clothing and food to take to the rescue mission. She has become so well known for her trips that people often ask her to take their donations. I have a special interest in the 1,000 homeless people of Salt Lake, she said. Most of them really arent bums. They are people that have lost their homes and jobs. If they can just get into some clean clothes and get a job, then they can have a home again. Perry has been helping people at the rescue mission for two years. Before working in the in business license division, Perry operated a wedding catering business for 16 years. She enjoys both catering and home decorating. When she took the business license position, catering became a part-tim- e job. Perry has two sons, Shawn and Lincoln. The 46 men and women receiving the Silver Beavers were selected for having demonstrated exceptional service to youth, the community and to the scouting program.
