Each of the candidates underwent an interview with a panel of judges, wrote an essay, performed a talent, modeled an evening gown and answered an impromptu question. The 1993 Homeocming royalty will preside over all Homecoming activities, including an appearance in the parade and at the game . Emily Grover, a recreation education major from Centerville, was one of the ten finalists. Executive Island e Based on the preliminary engineer studies that he has had done for him by A.Z. Richards, Jr., he believes that salinity can be effectively purged form the Bay, creating a fresh water body within a reasonable period of time. Mr Fleek suggests that such a fresh water lake would have value for recreation, aesthetics, wildlife, and industrial use at least. It is now more than ten years since that memorandum was sent and Fleek's dream has still to become a reality. As Fleek points 83 and needs out he is now someone else to take up the banner of a fresh water lake in Farmington Bay. Fleek's plan is not complicated. He would use the entire flow of both the Ogden and the Weber Rivers that now already run into the lake. The flow would be would be brought down by dikes or canals to run into Farmington Bay and would Causeway. 6-- Grover one of Ricks queen finalists Ricks for Reynolds, eventually of the island. lift the surface of Farmington Bay two feet above the main lake. Sewerage that now drains into the bay would be routed south to ' Black Rock so it would stay in the ' Fleek salted water. points heavily out that salt kills bacteria at about 2 percent salinity. Once the 8 is to up percent the salinity danger of all disease is gone, he says. The fresh water would allow for the development of the east side of Antelope Island and the western shore of Farmington Bay. Fleek believes 150 thousand people could be involved in recreational activities at one time without crowding. Fleck did engineering in the service and helped build highways, canals and runways. He describes himself as a man who has lived through three wars and a "Otherwise I've had a he quips. Fleek life," peaceful served in World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam and also fought in the Mexican Revolution. revolution. Cement passageways could be constructed at intervals under the roadbeds so wild animals could reach the fresh water. It could be one of the greatest resorts in the world if they would maintain it, Fleek says. In addition he believes that all the overflow from the Bountiful area could go down through Coggin Drain along with the entire flow of the Jordan River. That water could flow out to the Black Rock area where the high salt content would kill the bacteria. He suggests the. state could add .dikes and locks so boats could get in and out from the fresh water in Farmington Bay to the salt water of the Great Salt Lake. A dike across to the southern tip of Antelope Island would keep contaminated water from flowing back into Farmington Bay. The causeway would protect the fresh water on the north side of Farmington Bay. The Syracuse sewerage plant that dumps into the bay could be made to flow north through Howard Slough. Can it be done? In his book "The Great Great Salt Lake," Peter Czerny makes the comment, "The causeway has an interesting side effect. When it cut Farmington Bay off from the rest of the lake, incoming fresh water pushed some of the salt water through the causeway opening. This made the bay almost a fresh water lake which froze in the winter. Studies showed that the salt water would not mix readily with the fresh water, and although the top of the bay would freeze, a layer of salt water remained below. "In warmer seasons, however, the fresh water was helpful to outboard motorists. After cruising on the Great Salt Lake, they would take a spin in Farmington Bay (close to the causeway where it is deep) then remove the boat from the water practically salt free."

Fleek rememhers when the fish were washed out of Ogden Bay during the floods. "There were channel cat, trout and walleye. The fresh water Farmington Bay could also be stocked with these fish." Then houses could be built along the water's edge and there would be a great tourist attraction. The tourist would need meals and lodging and the area would boom. He also believes a highway and railroad could be built along the CHERIE HUBER Major Glen Fleek, retired, of Layton is a man with an enduring dream and a great love. The dream is one he's been pursuing relentlessly for at least the last 20 years. It's all about his love of the Great Salt Lake area and the possibilities that Fleck sees for the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island and Farmington Bay. Fleek still has a letter from governor Calvin Rampton dated March of 1973 which thanks Fleek for making the governor aware of his ideas regarding the Great Salt Lake. The letter goes on to say that the governor is asking several state agencies to review Fleek's Newcomers' Club sets luncheon plan for Farmington Bay The causeway Czerny was referring to was built in the 1960s and was later washed out by rising waters. Don Johnson's Lake Wasatch was another variation of this idea. "I've done a lot of thinking about this," Fleek says. Now what he needs is someone interested enough to get the project moving. W j It's Major Glen Fleek's dream to turn Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake into a fresh water lake of the south end of the Syracuse-Antelop- e Island Causeway.
