Show “THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS March cont. from page 2 easy, but our loads were lightened by many of our dear friends and neighbors throughout this valley. So many offers of help were made. Some watched my children while others drove me to appointments. Meals were brought in and arms were put around us in love. I especially appreciate those who gave comfort to my children. Love was extended each day by phone calls, notes, and acts of service. Prayers were extended and very much felt. I am here today because of your faith and prayers. When Dr. Sorensen went into my heart to place the device, he was able to look at the actual hole with a special camera. The hole was bigger than they expected. In fact, it was three to four times bigger than what they had expected. Usually, holes they repair are 3 to 4mm. The one I had was 12 mm about a % inch). Why I hadn’t had a major stroke or any other major symptoms was unknown to them. I am healthy and well today. I feel more and more energy each day. I am still experiencing some of the spells, but they should go away with time | attribute my health and well being to my Father in Heaven who heard and answered prayers of so many of you.

The plan focuses on transportation projects in the rural and small urban areas of Utah. It can be reviewed at local libraries throughout the state or online at <www.udot.utah.gov> “Planning for future transportation projects is a comprehensive process that requires the input and perspective of community members, elected officials and public agencies,” said UDOT Planning Director John Thomas. “Utah is experiencing tremendous growth and an increased demand for transportation facilities.” Small urban areas across the state are growing rapidly. The St. George area’s population has increased from approximately 26,000 residents in 1980 to more than 90,000 in 2000. It is expected to grow to more than 218,000 by 2030. Similarly, Cedar City, Heber City, Hurricane, Moab, Tooele, and Vernal all are growing at record rates.

In addition to this plan focusing on rural areas, separate plans have been written for metropolitan areas under the direction of Utah’s four metropolitan planning organizations: Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization, Wasatch Front Regional Council, Mountainland Association of Governments, and Dixie Metropolitan Planning Organization.

They have literally helped reverse population declines for some wildlife species. Perhaps the most noteworthy example is the role that nesting “hack” towers played in the comeback of a falcon populations. Utah was the first state west of the Mississippi River to use hack towers as part of population restoration efforts for peregrines. Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area has seen extensive efforts from sportsmen’s groups and other bird enthusiasts to create nesting opportunities for birds.
