New hangar opens at Hill Museum
SPORTS
By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com HILL AEROSPACE MUSEUM – The new L.S. Skaggs Hangar at the Hill Aerospace Museum just had its first week open to the public, and already guests have been in for a treat. The new space brings with it new aircraft displays of course, but has also allowed for the improvement of existing exhibits as the museum continues to improve and develop. “Each one of the aircraft has their own story,” said Aaron Clark, director of the museum, saying that this new expansion makes it possible not only to display these aircraft but to “expand on airmen’s stories we’ve been unable to tell.” These stories cover the service of men and women in the Armed Forces dating back to the first days of the base and early aviation, and, as Clark explained, it’s not just an impressive assortment of aircraft, “They each have a connection to Utah and to Hill aviation history.” One such example of a strong Utah connection is the upcoming exhibit featuring nose art of the 509th Composite Group, which was activated and trained at Wendover Army Airfield, Utah. Designed and built by industrial and engineering students, and painted by local artists, the gallery is closely connected to Utah aviation history and shows, in living color those paintings created by those men and women decades ago. The new hangar has paved the way for many such improvements, making it possible to move many exterior aircraft indoors to better maintain them, freeing up space around the museum, and creating space for new acquisitions like an F-22 Raptor, recently acquired by the museum after it was damaged by Hurricane Michael. The museum team recovered the F-22, demilitarized it, brought it Please see HANGAR: pg. 5

Remote Operations Center has saved more than half a million dollars by finding and eliminating energy waste By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—Intermountain Health is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its new Remote Operations Center (ROC) that has saved more than a half million dollars through tracking and monitoring energy use at larger facilities, including Intermountain Layton Hospital. Billions of data points are used by the ROC system to track energy use and find inefficiencies in the systems that are not working, an Intermountain Health release said. Inefficiencies can be hard to find in a large facility like a hospital and aren’t always noticed until something breaks down. “To keep a large building comfortable for patients it Please see ROC: pg. 2
THE ROC’S SYSTEM uses billions of data points to track energy use and find inefficiencies in systems not working properly. Intermountain Layton Hospital is one of 18 facilities that ROC is in use.
Bountiful beat Northridge 25-9, 2515, 25-18 on Senior Night April 30. Connor Burleson led with nine kills while Mason Allen, Landon Chism and Aidan Sanford combined for 18 more.
