(Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Work is beginning to demolish structures at the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility, seen here in this 2009 photo. From 1945 to the 1970's munitions and chemicals were "stored" in open trenches. Contaminated metal was stored in barrells in a site on the property. The incinerator in the background was used for over a decade to dispose of the nation's nerve gas stockpile.

Demolition of the former Deseret Chemical Depot is progressing and may even be slightly ahead of schedule, according to an update provided Thursday.

Demolition crews recently tore down a 90-foot tall, 200-foot wide structure used to cool and clean exhaust gases from the furnaces that helped destroy such weapons as mustard gas and nerve agents including sarin, Tabun and VX, according to the written update the projects contractor provided.

The update said the demolition is expected to be completed by the end of August. When work began to destroy buildings in January, it was predicted demolition would take nine months.

The depot once stored the chemical weapons, but the U.S. Army began destroying them in 1996 to comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention. The last mustard gas-filled munition was destroyed at the depot in 2010 and the last bulk mustard gas was destroyed a year later.

The property last year was transferred to the control of the nearby Tooele Army Depot and given the new designation as that depots South Area.

Stately home chapel is transform with new lighting

3:48pm Thursday 20th March 2014 in News

A STATELY home chapel has been transformed following the installation of new environmentally friendly lighting to show off its ornate interior.

The family chapel at Castle Howard, near Malton in North Yorkshire, has been untouched for more than 140 years and features painted frescos depicting designs by Charles Eamer Kempe and stained glass windows by Edward Burne Jones.

The space has gilded and fluted columns and under a high, coffered ceiling based on Holbeins design for the Royal Chapel in St James Palace.

The pre-Raphaelite style Anglican chapel was decorated by Morris & Co, commissioned by Edward Howard, the younger brother of the 8th Earl of Carlisle.

The chapel has also featured as the Marchmain family chapel in both film and television adaptations of Brideshead Revisited.

The Hon Simon Howard said: It has long been an ambition of mine to light the chapel, but it had to be done sympathetically to showcase the magnificent decoration.

It was also important that the lighting was environmentally friendly, as well as economic; I am delighted with the results and the success of the project.

The chapel has always featured in the house tour, but it has been unguided. This year for the first time we are guiding the chapel to share with visitors the intricate detail and amazing stories.

FLESHERTON-

Owen Sound's Hobart Food Equipment plant gave a new commercial dishwasher to Grey Highlands Secondary School over the March Break, school principal Andrea Tang said in a news release Wednesday.

The new dishwasher was installed in the kitchen, which was freshly painted, received new ceiling tiles and a stainless steel backsplash. Staff from Hobart refinished the stainless steel counters and assisted with the technical aspects of the installation, the news release said.

Students in the school's hospitality and tourism program provide food to the school cafeteria and prepare meals for the Grey Highlands Meals on Wheels program.

This hands-on class is a great environment for those students who prefer to learn by doing rather than listening or writing, said Marjorie McIntyre, one of two teachers in the program. It really makes a difference in helping students obtain their diplomas.

Many use this experience to obtain part-time employment and others seek post-secondary training in the food services industry, the release said.

The school approached Hobart about whether it could fix its old Hobart mixer. Staff refurbished the machine and that contact led to the offer of a new machine to replace the washer, which also needed repairs.
