With the Edward Martin Company of approximately 600 persons, the Pucells began the handcart trek from Iowa on July 27, 1856. All went comparatively well with the handcart company until they neared the mountains. Then early snows hit. The freezing temperatures and food shortages resulted in the deaths of many, including Nellie's parents. Nellie's feet were frozen and after Mormon leader Brigham Young sent rescue parties to bring the handcart company to Salt Lake City, both of her legs were amputated just below the knee with a butcher's knife and a carpenter's saw--without the benefit of anesthesia. Nellie and her sister traveled to Cedar City with other members of the handcart hand-cart company. There, she later married William Unthank and, despite her handicap, was able to bear and raise six children. William Unthank's income was limited, so Nellie took in washing and also knitted stockings, stock-ings, carded wool and crocheted table pieces for sale in order to help support the family. She died in Cedar City at the age of 68. Jerry Anderson, the sculptor of the monument which depicts Nellie as a nine-year-old beginning begin-ning the handcart trek in Iowa, has twice won "Best of Show" in sculpture at the prestigious Western Artists of America annual an-nual Exhibition. His works can'be found in many collections, from California to Washington, D.C. Utah Valley Community College Receives NASA Laser Gun Utah Valley Community College Col-lege (UVCC) has received a research re-search grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ad-ministration (NASA). The grant arrives in the form of a Hyper-velocity Hyper-velocity Accelerator and $40,000, which will be used to test the durability of NASA's future space station. "The new space station, that NASA will construct in space sometime in the next decades, will face a new kind of threat That threat is erosion to the station sta-tion by the debris left in space by man himself," said Thomas Lee, project director and instructor of astronomy at UVCC. The Hypervelocity Accelerator Ac-celerator is a laser gun that emits tiny particles instead of light rays. The Accelerator will be used to simulate conditions in space which will allow certain materials to be tested for durability.

Mike after 40 years at Geneva Steel and Lovey after 20 years at Utah receives record amount of property from federal government The Federal Government donated a record amount of federal surplus supplies and equipment to Utah last month, says William Arseneau, Utah Division Director of Surplus Property. Total donations to Utah, based on the original cost to federal agencies, amounted to $3,770,923.63, says Arseneau. Weber County received the most federal surplus property for the month, followed by Utah County? State Agencies and Salt Lake' County, said Arseneau.

"Although the danger from the single impact from a dust particle is minimal it is the cumulative damage to windows, antennae and solar cells over the fifteen-year fifteen-year lifetime of the space station that is the concern to NASA scientists." scien-tists." Lee, a former NASA scientist, studied the threat to spacecraft by impact of natural meteoroids. While at NASA, he developed a laboratory that was able to simulate simu-late the threat of meteors, and where all external surfaces of the Apollo spacecraft especially the space suits, were tested and qualified. "The threat posed by natural meteoroids was overcome, and mankind is now relatively safe from the tiny rocks that are part of the space environment," said Local student makes Dean's List at Westminster Stephanie Odle of Orem, has been placed on the Dean's List for the 1991 spring semester at Westminster College of Salt Lake City, according to Dr. Stephen R.

"The Hypervelocity Accelerator Ac-celerator currently launches particles par-ticles at a velocity of 7 kilometers per second," said Lee. "We have discovered that this is not enough velocity to replicate actual space conditions. A velocity of 11 kilometers per second would more realistically represent true conditions." Lee is currently modifying the launcher to become a Hypervelocity Hyper-velocity Drag Accelerator to allow him greater accuracy in his experiments. ex-periments.
