Health care provider shortages have been predicted for a number of health care professions in Utah by 2020. AHEC is working now to alleviate these shortages in the future. In the last 7 years of operation AHEC has had a positive impact on the future of Utahs health care workforce definition of medically underserved, which means there is a great shortage of primary health care profes-- ' sionals in Utah. In 1995 the state legislature developed Area Health Education Cen-- , ters (AHEC) to help solve this problem. Since then five AHEC regional centers have been established. Three of the centers, located in Salt Lake City, Ogden, and Cedar City, are currently in operation. The other two centers, located in Price and Ephraim, were closed last year due to fuhding cuts by the state leg increasing the number of health care professionals in Utahs underserved areas.

An article about a proposal of expanding the golf course caught our attention. It quoted Brough as saying What we are ready to do this year is install a $400, 000 sprinkler system at the course. We think that the golf course should use the money it brings in to expand and update itself. If there is enough usage of the course to justify an expansion, there should be some money coming in to fund or at least partially fund its own expansion and Juan Diego Saturday, May 10 sprinklers.

In a year where we are already restricted in our watering, should we be looking at building something that is going to take a large amount of surface water? We should wait until we are out of a drought situation and have adequate water storage fa- cilities to accommodate more growth and industrial expansion. We dont have sufficient water now for our lawns and gardens. but we Were not feet like a second look should be made at where the funding for our city is going. We should let the golf course fund its own expansion or at least match city funding and use the funds of our city to help build a better future for our community. anti-gol- f We have a number of non- profit entities that could user that same amount of money and benefit a larger number of people. Our schools are on to another year of cuts in funding. We would like to see our children being taught by certified teachers instead of interns, which the district is being forced to hire for lack of funding. We would also like books updated or supplies provided for the classrooms rather than an additional 9 holes on the golf-cours- This Community Calendar is brought to you by e What about the library?

There is a new addition to the Ionder-osCampground, a pole fence running along the west side of the road. Also running along the road is the biggest pile of dead limbs, stumps and underbrush youll ever see. By the way, this underbrush and trees, while alive, made up the prettiest part of the canyon drive, in my opinion. As you go on up to Bear Scandinavian Festival Annual Scandinavian Festival.

It looks as though a hurricane has gone through the entire campground dead trees are dying everywhere. I know that a lot of the cottonwood trees in the canyon are dead and need to be removed. The key word being "removed." As President Bush said recently. It doesnt take a genius to see why our forests are burning. its all the dead trees and underbrush dying around in the canyon is going to end up looking like the hills west of Nephi after all the fires a desert with a few patches of burned dead trees here and there. This ravaging of our canyon has gone on long enough. Lets get together and put a stop to it before its too late. them fueling the fires. I remember when Dad & Sons Campground was absolutely beaut lful. The weeds were cut every week or so throughout the summer, no dead limbs or stumps saying around, no big unsightly rocks placed in all over. There a was even a sprinkler system and a place to play baseball. It truly was the most beautiful canyon anywhere. Now, thanks to the Forest Service and the wilderness designation, its a disaster area just waiting to be completely burned out. What we need to do is get a few dozen chain saws and several big trucks together, go up the canyon and do the Forest Service's job cut up and haul all dead wood out.
