Huntington Canyon Power Plant Starts to Take Shape Stan Watts Stan Watts Named Honorary Chairman Of June Dairy Month Stan Watts, athletic director and the retired head basketball coach at Brigham Young University, was recently named honorary chairman of the June Dairy Month in Utah. Mr. Watts will represent the Dairy Industry of Utah in the annual affair sponsored by the Utah Dairy Commission. Part of his honorary duties as chairman of the Dairy Month include participation in such familiar event as the annual Dairy Princess Contest, the governors signing of the proclamation declaring June Dairy Month, public service radio and television announcements and other related activities. Watts, who started a legendary coaching career at Millard high school in 1938, joined the BYU coaching staff in 1947, serving as basketball coach, freshman football coach and freshman bas ketball coach. In 1949 he took on the duties of head basketball coach. In the seasons that followed Coach Watts teams won eight conference championships and two NIT titles. His teams participated in four NIT tournaments, seven NCAA playoff tournaments, plus every major holidays tournament in the country.

The steel framework is beginning to rise on the initial unit of Utah Power & Light Companys Huntington Canyon plant the giant steam electric complex in the coal rich Emery county area. This 430,000 kilowatt first unit of the plant with the dam and associated facilities will cost $96 million, up from $1.5 million a year ago due to inflation and environmental protecetion requirements. It is scheduled for completion in 1974. Future plans envision an additional three units and will raise the total plant capacity to some two million kilowatts. Since construction began a year age March, some 33,000 cubic yards of concrete have been poured, principally for the turbine pedestal, two boiler feed pumps and a 600 foot stack foundation. In terms of weigh, two each cubic yard of concrete has weighed betfeen lli and 2 tons per yard. Today, the plant is about 7 per cent complete with the following projects currently under way or completed: the sewage disposal plant to the north of the complex has been completed and has been in service since April; excavation and concrete work for the holding basin is under way. The holding basin provides retention of water from the plant so that it wont be returned to Huntington Creek. The plant has a closed system so that no water is returned to the creek; the coal pulverizers are installed and the coal handling equipment is currently being moved into place. the plants settling basin is being excavated, any residue in the water is precipitated to the bottom of the basin; the turbine pedestal is perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the construction. It supports the tremendous weight of the turbine generation. To prevent vibration, the turbine pedestal is not attached to the rest of the plant but stands separated to eliminate any vibration in the turbine wall. It stands 48 feet high, 35 feet above ground and 13 feet underground. the adminnstration building for the complex is complete but the interior is not yet finished. Last year the utility leveled the plant site and excavated 4or sewer lines, water lines and the other underground piping began construction of the administra Yogurts Ancestry tion building and began construction of the foundation of the turbine pedestal. Currently, there is a work force of some 223 workers at the site and later this summer the utility expects that work force to increase between 350 to 400 men. At peak construction, it expects some 500 men at the site. Availability of coal and water was a prime consideration in locating the UP&L facility at Huntington. The coal is ideal for electric generation because it is low sulfur ash and his a high Btu content. When the initial unit begins generating power in 1974 it will be carried over the 345,-00- 0 volt line completed last year that spans the distance between Salt Lake City and Four Corners area. Alta Chosen as Challenge Ski Camp While other summer ski camps measure fast shrinking summer snow, Challenge Summer Ski Racing Camp reports over 170 inches (USFS, May 23, 1972). Of course this is not surprising. Alta, Utah had over 450 inches of snow during the 1971 season. Almost six feet fell in April. The Challenge Camp, June and June will be staffed by Head Coaches Dick L. former U. S. Team coach, and Olympic medalist Jean Sau-ber- t. Their staff consists of Wally Rothgeb, 1970 U. S. National Team; Beat Von Allmen, former Swiss National Team member; Fritz Siegenthaler, Swiss National Team; Jim Gaddis, two time NCAA Champion and National G.S. Champion; Butch Hoffman, 3-- 13 13-2- 2, Dor-wort- h, a National Veteran G.S. Cham- pion and Andy Schall, former national competitor and International Kneissel Representative. Racers from 29 states are now among the early applicants to the We believe Challenge Camp. that the strong initial response to our camp is owing to the fact that wc run full length downhill training as well as slalom and giant slalom. Combined with our summer snow conditions at Alta, we think that this camp offers as much training as any camps in the nation, said Brad Smith. The Challenge Summer Racing Camp is open to all ages and abilities: International caliber racers, Class A, Veteran, Intermediate, Novice and Tec Wee. There will even be a special, Learn to Race for the begin- - Dates Back Over One Thousand Years Yogurt, its the going thing! Its smooth, light custard texture is a favorite among people of all ages who dip into it for between meal snacks, dessert or noon lunch. Some like it plain, but most pick strawberry, blueberry and raspberry as frontrunners in the flavor pack. Other varieties include orange, peach, apricot, pineapple, prune and spiced apple. Yogurt has quite a heritage. While marketed in this country for less than 30 years, it is really old stuff history-wis- e. Some say back dates yogurts ancestry thousands of years to southeast Europe or Egypt. Others more conservatively say yogurt is only hundreds of years old. Modern-da- y Europeans, who enjoy their work breaks as we do in this country, substitute a cup of yogurt for a cup of coffee. An interesting note is that Europeans prefer fruit to be distributed in the body of the yogurt, while in the United States the most popular fruit yogurts are those with the fruit in the bottom of the cup. Yogurt is a cultured dairy product in the same classification with sour cream, buttermilk and various cheeses. It was first made on the farm by letting milk sour naturally. This method was practiced for many centuries. It was not until the 20th century that cultures for yogurt were isolated and the product was made according to modern day dairy standards. The popular belief that yogurt is a food with unique health properties is long standing. A Russian scientist advocated it for longevity around the turn of the century. He dubbed it the food of long life because he believed when taken regularly, yogurt destroys bacteria that are injurious to health. People eating yogurt were said to have a life span longer than of any other people in the world and retain the qualities of youth. ning or inexperienced ski racer.
