The future is bright for those Working for wildlife The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is working to ensure the future of elk, other wildlife and their habitat in Utah. Since 1984 the Foundation has funded 160 projects across the state helping to conserve and enhance more than 730,000 acres of wildlife habitat. Examples of the Elk Foundation's Founda-tion's protection roles include assisting public land acquisitions and granting conservation easements. ease-ments. Most recently in Utah, the Foundation helped protect the Peaceful Valley Ranch, located in a vital watershed in East Canyon near Salt Lake City. Hundreds of migratory elk depend on the 7,2000-acre ranch throughout the year. The ranch also contains significant habitat for mule deer, moose, mountain lions, bobcats, song birds, bald eagles, golden eagles, sandhill cranes, blue heron, great horned owls, the American kestrel and numerous other important wildlife wild-life species. Additionally, protection protec-tion of the property will safeguard safe-guard a six-mile portion of the Donner-Reed, the California Overland Stage, and the Pony Express trails, as well as a historic histor-ic farmhouse and a restored Pony Express station. Prescribed bums, noxious weed treatment, elk productivity studies and educational programs are among the conservation projects pro-jects taking place across the state. In 2000, using some matching funds from various natural resource re-source agencies and conservation partners, the Elk Foundation directed $6.9 million to wildlife habitat enhancements in Utah. These . projects included the 1 ,250-acre Cascade SpringsNorth Fork Prescribed Burn to improve forage quality for a variety of wildlife and reduce the risk of severe wildfire from accumulated fuels in the treatment area. The Foundation also contributed to the South Slope (Uinta Mountains) Elk Telemetry Study to collar 100 cow elk to determine migration patterns, distribution and survival rates used to develop appropriate - May 9. 2001 in round two in the AIME, American Ame-rican Invitational Mathematics Examination.

This is an ongoing problem as con men are very suave and canny and are constantly coming up with even more sophisticated schemes. Hopefully, the public is becoming more aware of the fraud market and are educating themselves in ways to avoid being cheated by the telemarketing telemarke-ting swindlers. However, telemarketing tele-marketing fraud seems to be growing and reaping more dishonest dis-honest money each year. Seniors, and especially those who may be alone, are very vulnerable. While the best defense de-fense against fraud is probably to have the ability to say no. or to not listen to the sales pitch, unfortunately un-fortunately many do not follow these rules and many find themselves them-selves victims of what they thought was a sure fire way to financial well being. Following are some more tips from AARP to help you make decisions as to whether a call is legitimate or a fraud. One clue calling for extreme caution is if the caller asks for your social security number, bank account number or other financial information when you aren't buying anything or paying with those accounts. Legitimate companies don't ask for that information unless you are applying apply-ing for credit and they need to check your credit report. They will only ask for financial information infor-mation to bill you or debit your account for purchases you've agreed to make. If the company calls you relentlessly, and especially if the continue to call after you have asked not to be called, you can put them down as con artists. Legitimate companies will take no for an answer and will take you off their calling lists if you ask. Beware also a company that offers to get you a loan, or credit, cred-it, or a credit card, or to repair your bad credit if you pay an upfront up-front fee. Genuine lenders and credit card issuer do not demand payment in advance, and no one can get bad information removed from a credit file if it is accurate. Lastly, watch out if a caller or company offers to jet back money' mon-ey' that you have lost to another fraudulent scheme, "if you pay an up-front fee." Law enforcement agencies don't ask for payment to try to help consumers get their money back, and it is illegal for a company to ask for advance payment for such services. While it is a "buyer beware" market, the better informed we can become, be-come, the less chance that we will be the next victim of telemarketing telema-rketing fraud.

Working as a volunteer at Mountain View Hospital (MVH) in Payson for the past 10 years, her cheery countenance would not alert anyone to the emotional and physical trauma she has been through. No one could guess, Lundell, mother of four, grandmother grand-mother of 16 and great-grandmother to one is a breast cancer survivor. Lundell' s breast cancer story begins in 1999. She faithfully had mammograms annually; performed per-formed seir-breast exams monthly and visited her doctor on a regular regu-lar basis. "Working in a hospital setting always reminds me to take care of myself," said Lundell. "I couldn't forget to have a mammogram mam-mogram if I tried." But in April 1999 after receiving receiv-ing her annual mammogram, her doctor found something abnormal. abnor-mal. After a second mammogram. mammo-gram. Lundell had a needle biopsy, biop-sy, a procedure that identifies cancerous tissue. The results shocked Lundell; she was diagnosed diag-nosed with breast cancer. "I never would have thought I could have breast cancer." Lundell Lun-dell said. "My family had no history of breast cancer." A lumpectomy was performed, which removed the cancerous tissue, and radiation treatments were administered to prevent recurrent cancerous growth. Lundell is a cancer survivor because of early detection. "I credit my recovery to the Mountain Moun-tain View Hospital radiology program," Lundell said. "From the onset of my ordeal, I have felt comforted by the staff at MVH. They check me every six months to make sure everything is okay." A survivor story, like Lundel-l's, Lundel-l's, serves as a reminder to women wom-en that mammograms and early detection are vital to the survival rate of breast cancer victims. "The guidelines provided by the American Cancer Society focus on women's health," said Dr. Stanley Green, a radiologist at MVH. "Women should receive a baseline mammogram at age 35. After age 40. women should have a mammogram every two years, Lifcsaving Lifesaving immunizations for senior citizens aged 65 or older are not limited to flu shots each fall. It is alarming to see how many seniors have gone 20 to 30 years without receiving a Td (Tetanus-Diphtheria) booster immunization which should be received every 10 years. They estimate that about 27 percent of our seniors in Utah County have never received a - pneumonia immunization. Only one pneumonia shot is needed for at least 5 to 10 years, and it effectively prevents most infections caused by streptococcus streptococ-cus pneumonia bacteria. This infection is a very common cause of deadly pneumonia which occurs oc-curs commonly during all seasons of the year. Dr. Joseph Miner, County Public Health Officer, is warning seniors that it is extremely important impor-tant to check to see if they received re-ceived a pneumonia immunization. immuniza-tion. Others should check on their senior family members and friends to make sure they have received the pneumonia vaccine. Medicare will cover the cost of this vaccine which is available at most private medical clinics as well as the Utah County public health clinics.

"Make your monthly self-breast self-breast exams a routine," Green said. "Also be sure to schedule an appointment with your doctor yearly." In order to stress the importance impor-tance of mammograms, Mountain View Hospital in Payson is giving giv-ing a special gift to women who receive or schedule a mammogram mammo-gram during the month of May. "The month of May focuses around the special women in our lives and is a perfect time to stress the importance of breast health," said Green. "If any gift should be given on Mother's Day, it should be one that assists in promoting a long and healthy life.
