PORCHE stands for Primary Outage Call Handling Equipment. Clifford Michaelis, director of Bountiful City Light & Power, said that the system was installed about seven months ago. The system works like a large answering machine when a large power outage occurs. We have one dispatcher, 24 hours a day, who takes calls about power outages and dispatches crews and technicians; said Michaelis. But when it's a large outage, many people call at the same time. PORCHE can answer all of the lines while the dispatcher dispatches crews. The dispatcher can then go to the PORCHE system to find out additional information. Someone might have called about a downed pole that the dispatcher would never have gotten because he was on the line with someone else. With PORCHE he'll get that message faster Public Power Week is a national celebration of the benefits of hometown, electric utilities.

BOUNTIFUL 451-331- 5. BY TOM BUSSELBERG Clipper Staff Writer United Way of Davis County is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Larry Burdett is synonymous with that effort, because he has led the local organization since its inception. In fact, had it not been for a Bountiful Handcart Days Parade, where Burdett shouted greetings as a to bystander Commissioner Stan Smoot, who was riding in the parade, things could have been vastly different. Although he grew up in Bountiful, son of the late Glen and June Burdett, Larry and his bride Sandy had moved to the San Francisco Bay area, where he was working as a Boy Scout executhen-Coun- tive. As luck would have it, Smoot was among those trying to establish a Davis United Way, and the rest is, as they say. history. It has been a rewarding experience; he says with conviction. When I look at that first year, and we raised $34,000, and this past year it was just under $1 million (and just over the million mark the prior year), collectively weve raised $13 million. But he is quick to add that were g more than just a charity He ticked off some of the many efforts first pioneered here by United Way: and the Helpline Information Referral, started in 1976; the Volunteer Center, begun four years ago; completion of three countywide needs assessment surveys; origination of some new agencies such as the Family Connection Center and The Shelter, which assists children and adults in abusive situations, among other facets. TeenLine, a dental health program, Healthy Steps are other programs which United Way fostered through seed money andor other ways. The school district received funds from United Way for the Sex Respect programs materials for the fund-raisin- first year. Davis County United Way has also pioneered the VIP Program for high school students, which grants a letter, just as in athletics, for outstanding volunteer efforts by participating students. - LOGAN The College of Natural Resources at Utah State University has named two local students as scholarship recipients for the school year. Tennille Flint, daughter of Blaine and Carolyn Flint of Kaysville, and Eric Toman, a graduate of Bountiful four-year-o- ld LARRY BURDETT, known as "Mr. United Way" Its gratifying to see things pen to deter problems in teen happreg- nancy, (including) The Shelter. When we see that success, and the volunteer impact to make a difference, Burdett says those are among reasons that he has never gotten bored. This is very rewarding, and theres plenty to do. When you look at the growth, the need, and the lack of services in Davis County, weve had to do something to raise more money, have appealed for greater support of Burdett emphasized. For example, many gifts-in-kin- d, non-prof- it agencies which receive funding support through United Way allocations have received used office furniture and equipment, including computers, through such help. Its a way to recycle and to help offices and programs. I think the volunteerism aspect has been very rewarding to see busy people take on responsibility and be involved from all aspects. he said. 0 High, have been named Quinney Scholars for the College of Natural Resources.

But no matter. When the chips were down, and her mothers life was in danger on the afternoon of Aug. 21, the came through, and is now credited with saving her mother, Jamie, who was suffering from an asthma attack when she called 911 and collapsed, because she couldnt breathe. As recounted by City Manager Jack Bippes and Fire Chief Roger Amy picked up the phone and led rescuers to her apartment, unlocked a security gate so they could gain access, and found a babysitter to tend her and her little brother, Bailey. After her mother went unconscious, Amy took over with information that was vital for emergency medicalfire personnel, the chief said. Firefighters Rod Webb and Jeff Bodily. took the helm at its start 25 years ago. Burdett said. Over the years. United Way's'.' offices have been housed in Farmington, Bountiful, and now on the second floor of the First National Bank Building in downtown Layton, 2 crediting his Scout experience as being very helpful as he moved into United Way. His background growing up was one of community involvement. My father was involved with the old Bountiful Youth Center, with the philosophy of giving back emphasized. Over Burdetts 25 years, many changes have come to the county. When we started, there w as only one hospital, not too many major corporations. There was not much available in that has certainly state services expanded with a district office, growth in city and programs. And, the old. invisible wall or Mason-Dixo- n line at Farmington that divides north and south has deteriorated, although it isnt completely gone, he said. One thing that has impressed me in recent years is the willingness of agencies to collaborate, to discuss, to help solve problems. I'd say there is more of that here than in most areas, for the past four-plu- s years. n The staff has grown to a six, but thanks to a Cornerstone pro-- ' still-lea- gram, corporations are underwriting 100 percent of staff costs, freeing up all contributions to underwrite services. But Burdett not resting on any s laurels. Its imperative that we raise more money, reduce waiting lists, serve more . non-prof- it people. Part of that effort comes ' through trying to alert local residents that they can donate to Davis County agencies of their choice even if theywork outside of the county. v We want to increase the capacity ' to care for one another, not use a Band-Ai- d approach, but help allow 2 be to people productive citizens and 1 workers.

Dispatcher Maggie Ward handled the calls. At Heather Estates there are a lot of apartments, and it can be difficult to figure out w hich is the right one, he said.

Its commendable that a would have the presence of mind to do all of this in such a situation, he added. Her quick thinking helped not only the dispatchers, but also the firefighters. It was a team effort, the chief said. We had her over to the fire station two weeks ago. She is so cute and bashful, but the confidence she had to tell the answers to questions she was asked its just amazing.
