It has increased our knowledge about ourselves," states Michael Christensen executive execu-tive director of Utah Foundation, a private public policy research agency in issuing its latest report, An Analysis of the Envision mm Duo Clasico concert Sun. at Art Museum Citizens are invited to a concert con-cert on Sunday, October 10, at 5 p.m. at the Springville Museum of Art. Duo Clasico, consisting of Lawrence Green, classical guitar, and Gregory Restad, electric bass, will perform, playing play-ing music of Vivaldi, de Flala, Piazzolla, Webber and others. Admission is free. Duo Clasico is an exciting, newly formed group with the intent of providing a non-traditional chamber music combination combina-tion featuring classical guitar and electric bass. Unlike traditional instruments, such as flute or violin, the electric bass actually enhances the lyrical qualities of the classical guitar.

According to the report, the development of this wealth of information has accomplished at least three things. "First, it has enhanced the quality of discussion discus-sion about our growth challenges.

Third, it has focused public discussion on what Utah Foundation Founda-tion thinks is one of the major issue facing the state." Christensen Christen-sen said that, "since 1991, Utah Foundation has been writing about " the challenges of rapid urban growth and its consequences. consequenc-es. However, it took Envision Utah and its process to awaken the state and to get people involved." in-volved." The report points out that Envision Utah is the result of efforts by many citizens who wanted to address the significant increase in the state's urban population during the last several years and the growth that will occur in the future. The report states, "It took 70 years from statehood for Utah to reach a population of one million. It took 30 years thereafter for the state to reach a population of two million. If current trends continue, contin-ue, it will be only 15 years from now when Utah will have a population popu-lation of three million." Even more important than the state's fast-growing population, is where the growth is occurring. The report explains that, "Between "Be-tween 1970 and 1998, 75 percent of the state's entire population growth occurred in Utah's four most populous counties: Salt Lake, Utah, Davis and Weber." These four counties are referred to as the Wasatch Front. Since 1980, other counties adjacent to the four most urban counties have shown impressive growth such as Box Elder, Summit, Sum-mit, Tooele, Wasatch, Morgan and Juab counties. These counties are often referred to as the Wasatch Was-atch Back. "These ten counties," the report points out "currently account for 82 percent of the state's entire population and will be the place where the vast majority ma-jority of the state's future growth will occur."

The report suggests that there are "five significant issues that Envision Utah must face: 1) addressing regional problems effectively in a system of political fragmentation; 2) obtaining some evidence of v public feelings from scientific polling; 3) getting local government govern-ment support and cooperation; 4) developing a regulatory and development inventory; 5) promoting pro-moting policy alternatives which will preserve Utah's quality of life." Concerning the first of these five issues, the report advises that, "air pollution, transportation, transporta-tion, congestion, housing and crime are issues that have no political boundaries. Yet addressing address-ing these regional issues becomes very difficult under our decentralized decentral-ized system of government." This challenge leads to the second major issuethe need to get local government support and cooperation. The report argues that, "Many of the problems of urban growth are not solvable without local government participation. partici-pation.
