Dorit put hurricanereliefon back burner tahns should take great pride in their state's (_) participation in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. Along with the outpouring of donations from individual citizens, the state hosted and helped to relocate almost 600 evacuees. During its month-long existence, the state-run Camp Williams evacuee center immediately became known as one of the friendliest, most generous of its kind in the country. It is especially gratifying to learn that one of those running the show at Camp Williams is a Park City resident. (Please see story about Renee Creer on page Al.) In fact, those who staffed the center did their jobs so well, they were able to shut it down this week. Many of the evacuees left to live with family members outside of their own damaged towns. Others, though, decided to stay in Utah and, in the coming months, hope to open businesses and buy homes of their own. But Camp Williams' success story doesn't mean the need for continued relief is gone. Residents of Louisiana and Mississippi whose properties were destroyed by Katrina are still a long way from going home or from reestablishing their businesses and personal lives. And we haven't even begun to address the needs of those still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Rita that blew through Texas and western Louisiana less than a month after Katrina. Unfortunately, they missed out on that first great wave of sympathy and generosity following Katrina. Hurricane news is gradually slipping off the front page of most newspapers and is losing its prime-time grip on broadcast news. But it is important that our commitment to helping the victims doesn't fall by the wayside. The Red Cross is asking donors to repeat their previous donations - they estimate needed at least another $1 billion, in addition to the $1 billion raised so far, will be needed to feed, house and provide emergency medical care to those displaced by the two storms. Many Parkites were inspired by the stories of regular citizens from across the country who felt compelled and found creative ways to help Gulf Coast residents get back on their feet. Some dropped everything to rescue flood victims, feed rescue workers, organize fundraisers and find homes for abandoned animals. Now it is someone else's turn to pitch in. The full extent of the hurricane destruction is still being assessed but it is clear that our country has not experienced a natural disaster of this magnitude for decades. The nation's, and our own community's, immediate outpouring of support was impressive, but much more help is needed. While it is appropriate to turn our attention to other news arenas, like the war in Iraq, it is equally important to continue donating time and money to the hurricane relief effort.

Editor: The Peoples' Health Clinic would like to publicly acknowledge the work of Dr. Allen Davies at the clinic for the past nine months in the role of our medical director. Dr. Davies undertook this role on a voluntary basis at no cost to PHC. His work with our patients, volunteers and staff was an invaluable contribution to our efforts of working with the uninsured of the community. It is this type of selfless service that has enabled the clinic to expand its services and help make health care available to all. Dr. Davies' efforts exemplify the very best of our medical community and we thank him for his willing and tireless contribution to PHC, our volunteers and patients. Thank you, Allen!

Intelligent Design is not simply about the complexity of life as Trail suggests, but about the irreducible complexity that biochemists have found at the molecular level. Behes book, "Darwin's Black Box" lays it out in as close to layman's terms as you can get. And to say that there is a "near-universal agreement among biologists" supporting Darwin's claims is just plain false. The recently deceased Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard, arguably the foremost evolutionist in the world, rejected Darwinism because of the utter lack of evidence for it in the fossil record, and a large number of biologists agree with him. Gould said that Darwin's natural selection "as a general proposition, is effectively dead, despite it s persistence as textbook orthodoxy." An ancient camel's tooth is simply not evidence of evolution it's evidence that a camel is dead. Trail refuses to acknowledge or understand new discoveries in molecular biology, and instead clings to an old school of thought that can't be supported by the evidence, only because it agrees with his belief in atheism. It was just wonderful to get a chance to get to know these people. I would like to thank everyone at the University of Utah who worked to put this Web site together. It's great!
