the election season for Democrats and Utahns next year Cloud from Elsinore to Axtell is a possibility says group fighting proposed Siguard power plant by Jim Olsen Nearly 50 people gathered at the Sevier County Courthouse on Wednesday September 16 some blandishing signs of protest to discuss the proposed power plant for the Siguard area "If this power plant comes to pass then there will be an inv from Elsinore to Axtell" said Aurora resident Scott Chamberlain The gathering was a step to unify many smaller groups and to organize under one banner with a group of leaders "We are already getting information from the Environmental Protection Agency because someone has called us the Sevier Citizens for Clean Air" said Chamberlain In addition to Chamberlain Jim Kennon a Koosharem resident also took the lead of the meeting It was determined that those who opposed the power plant would need to organize raise money and find some individu als willing to serve as a governing board "We need to get organized There will be tough times ahead As far as I can see there are already bad things happening" said Kennon Perhaps the most striking information given to those in attendance was the air flow charts provided from the NECO tower located just outside of Siguard NEVCO is the consortium that is proposing the small plant "The flow charts show that the prevailing winds will send any emissions from Richfield to Salina and this is at 350 feet The proposed stack is 450 feet tall" said Chamberlain He had several graphs showing that the winds would create quite a cloud over the north Sevier val- Siguard and too close to the highway" Kennon sited the lack of water as a major concern He also was concerned about the pollution "I also want to know just how this decision process was handled I have written letters to Malcolm Nash Sevier County Economic Director and want to know just who is on the committee making the decisions for us" he said Chamberlain said that the need for public debate was also very important He said that those who were in favor of the power plant needed to voice their opinion and that only through dialogue could the best solution be found " What we need now are more mouths to spread this information It was noted that so far there is no answer to other issues such some of you are concerned about coal power but I as noise traffic possible jobs am more concerned about the gained or lost and a myriad of placement of the plant" said other concerns that were voiced Chamberlain "It is too close to from the audience Those details have not yet been released ley "I know New Offices The Gunnison Valley Hospital completed construction doctors offices on the corner of Center Street and 00 East The offices will house Dr John and Christine Jackson on
