More than 800 students from the Alpine and Nebo school districts were in attendance at the de Jong Concert Con-cert Hall, when Princess Martha Louise walked across the stage floor and lost her shoe. The children stared in startled silence, but began to giggle as the princess asked, "Where is my Prince Charming? I need him to pick up my shoe." Princess Martha Louise then kept the students enraptured en-raptured as she shared with them her recently published children's book, "Why Kings and Queens Don't Wear Crowns," leaving the students stu-dents with a cliff-hanger ending. Westside second grade students Kenya Rodriguez and Tristan Swenson presented the princess with a small statue stat-ue and thank you card on behalf of all those in attendance.

Huntsman said the State is in a growth mode and cautioned against making policy based on present day standings. "Force yourself to see where we will be in 20 years," he said. "We don't want to be stuck flat-footed." He singled out the Nebo district dis-trict as growing twice as fast as the rest of the State and then ROAIPLIFir(WRJ A0J11W. tBBl W.

Huntsman's views were echoed and confirmed by all of the guest speakers at the meeting. meet-ing. Burtis Bills, Mayor of Payson, gave a brief description descrip-tion of topical events in his city. "It's a pivotal time," he said and spoke of the hi-speed fiber optic op-tic cable connections being made directly to homes in Payson. "These can go as high as 100 megabits," he said. "Home businesses will grow from this." Joe Thomas, mayor of Spanish Span-ish Fork; Gene Mangum, may- of of Springville and Lane Henderson, mayor of Salem spoke briefly of growth in their cities. Governor Huntsman put his finger right on the reason for this growth. "We have in Utah what is " completely in demand," de-mand," he said. "Quality of life." f He pointed out that development develop-ment must not be singly focused fo-cused in one corner of the economy. He also warned that we must retain the best and brightest of our young people. Huntsman counted off several sev-eral of Utah's major companies, compa-nies, several of which had their start and incubation in the State and grew to international dominance. He spoke of Novell, Nov-ell, Convergis, Nu Skin, My-Family.com My-Family.com - and of other firms, such as Nestle Foods and Micron which have major holdings in the State. "Capital is what we're after," Huntsman said "not just jobs. Capital is cowardly; it will go anywhere where it is safe haven. If risky, it will flee." Huntsman said Denver and Phoenix are considered safer and "capital feeds the entrepreneurs entrepre-neurs who feed the jobs". The governor asked rhetorically, rhetori-cally, "What do we do better than anyone else?" and answered, an-swered, "We are a State of entrepreneurs." en-trepreneurs." In the next 20 years, he sees Utah as a major center for bioscience bio-science which, in turn, will spawn a whole new series of businesses. Huntsman envisions greater partnerships between universities universi-ties and the business community- "We have great educators in our State," he said. His observations on the educational edu-cational facilities in Utah were earlier covered, in great detail, by William A. Sederburg, President Pres-ident of UVSC Sederburg spoke of the "vectors "vec-tors of change"; BYUis becoming becom-ing more international with only 10 per cent of its student body coming from Utah County Coun-ty vs. what once was 80 per cent and a shift in the economy with fewer people making a living from farming. "We are responding to public pub-lic demand. We have a different differ-ent type of faculty and student," stu-dent," he said. He traced UVSC growth through various stages to where it is now a Regional State University. Jim Robson, Regional Economist, Econ-omist, Work Force Services, confirmed Sederberg's views. "Education is the most important impor-tant industry in Utah County" he said. "20 per cent of all jobs are related to education." Robson presented a series of charts updating the economy and delineating the US. Annual Annu-al Economic Growth, U.S. Job Creation, U.S. Nonfarm Pay roll Jobs and Unemployment Rate; Monthly U.S. Trade Deficit and Federal Budget. He also distributed a series of charts for the State of Utah showing it is in the center of the fastest growing region in the country with strong job growth, low unemployment, healthy construction values and strong retail sales. The Summit format included several breakout sessions: Transportation Issues; Crucial Conversations; South County Real Estate Outlook, Sales Leakage information; Selling to Government; Boost Your Profits in 2006 and Capitalizing on Utah Tourism. The Transportation Session was presented by Darryl Cook, UTA Board. He outlined all the Funded projects and Unfunded Un-funded Highway and Transit projects with detailed maps to explain each plan. A funding gap of $285 million exists for the unfunded highway projects pro-jects and a gap or $92 for the unfunded transit ones. Given the projected population popula-tion growth, especially in the area on the west side of Utah Lake, these unfunded transportation trans-portation needs present a serious seri-ous problem, Cook says.: On the upside, however, he presented pre-sented innovative money-saving ways to cope with such growth. " Chris Sorenson,jNebo School District Superintendent, outlined out-lined all the plans to contend with growth in the district's student population. A savings of $1, 976,764 will be realized annually by eliminating the middle school model and going back to the junior high school structure. This change in strategy strat-egy will result in $17 million savings in building costs. wye 'erne & Celebs rates -RIj Years c .
