Even then, buyers often overlooked the accessories accesso-ries that were too strange, too large or too useless. . However, the county auction scene has changed dramatically dramati-cally since joining forces with Provo-based publicsurplus.com last year, said Don Nay, deputy public works director. "We get a broader audience, and it makes the actual process of getting surplus sold a lot easier," he said. Using the online auction Editor: On behalf of Adam and Alissa Ingersoll and the IngersollSquiresBennion families, we want to express our thanks and appreciation to the community at large for the tremendous outpouring of support we experienced at the benefit luau held the evening Stats.

In preparing pre-paring for the annual county auction in past years, four to six workers spent two weeks sorting the giant warehouse of surplus goods. Now, Nay puts each item online himself as it becomes available. "It's a significant cost savings," sav-ings," he said. Utah County is not alone in the online auctioning with publicsurplus.com. The company com-pany has approximately 650 clients in the United States and Canada, said company vice president Eric Heaps. In Utah alone, almost 40 public pub-lic entities use the Web site, including in-cluding the University of Utah, of Nov. 15. We want to especially espe-cially thank those who pitched in and helped so selflessly with their time and resources to make the event a remarkable success. Considerable financial resources re-sources were generously donated do-nated in Adam's behalf to help with the expense of his cancer treatments and medications.

Heaps said Alpine School District was one of the first to use the Web site when it began in 2000, and other state organizations took some time to join in. The problem with being a local company, he said, was gaining credibility in the company's home state. "If you're a local company, you kind of need to go national before you're considered credible cred-ible locally," he said. The company went to Utah County with its business several sever-al times before the county was willing to make the change, Nay said. The county looked at the Web site and others off and on through the years before it was satisfied. While this was the objective, it was more the heart-felt expressions ex-pressions of love, encouragement encourage-ment and the prayers from hundreds of you that mean so much to Adam, Alissa and to our family. Your generosity generos-ity and encouragement have lightened burdens and added to our hope for a successful outcome.

Government programs have very strict requirements, so adjustments are not often made to their procedures. "Anytime you deal with the government, it's difficult," he said. "Government, as opposed to the private sector, is slow to change." Heaps said his company has always been comfortable with the public sector, so the Web site is geared solely to those entities.
