Located on Main Street and Fourth South in Nephi is the Old Mill Wheel which commemorates the many flour and elevator companies that thrived during the first years of the settlement. Nephi City had built a beautiful park in which to display this wheel on the original Salt Creek that flows through our village A Legacy' project of the 1996 LTah State Centennial Commission, this park is an outstanding place to display this mill wheel which stood idle after 1949 when the mills ceased to exist. 1055 North 500 West, Provo, was held December 6, 2003. Jon M. Huntsman, founder and principal benefactor of Huntsman Cancer Institute, spoke. This is the second network affiliation HCI has entered into with a community practice. The first linked HCI with St. Johns Medical Center in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in November 2001. According to Stephen Prescott, MD, HCIs executive director, the community network provides cancer pa- tients in smaller communities access to the same cancer-carresources as residents of larger communities. Studies show that cancer patients benefit when their care is close to their home. They e also benefit when they go to a large, experienced cancer center. This partnership will provide both benefits to central Utah patients, Prescott said. HCI and CUMC will compare and share best practices and collaborate in clinical trials. In addition, CUMC will house a branch of the Huntsman Cancer Learning Center, where patients and family d LTtah es, Scott Barlow, CEO for CUMC, said. This affiliation will raise the level of cancer care services to patients in central Utah and will create a collaborative care model for other communities within the Intermountain West. The Cancer Center is part of CUMCs first phase of a $35 million construction project. Two medical oncologists, three radiation oncologists, and a nurse practitioner provide a full range of outpatient cancer care services, including chemotherapy, radiation treattherapy, and follow-ument. CUMC was organized in 1969 and has a core team of 59 physicians representing 14 medical specialties.

Farm Bureau believes the proposed rule will help ranchers be better stewards of the land through: ) An improved assessment and monitoring process that evaluates rangeland health. 1 Utah Farm Bureau, the states largest agriculture organization with over 2 ,500 family members, has argued that balanced administration of the public land resource is important to the economic future of Utah. Livestock production is the foundation of the states agriculture in1 dustry, contributing nearly 80 percent of the SI billion in farm gate sales. This contribution is significant in rural Utah where livestock sales have a ripple effect that is considerably more important to the aggregate economy of the state. Rural businesses rely on the new wealth that is generated by agriculture, timber and mining. This is welcome news to many rural Utah communities that have been suffering from the effects of a prolonged drought, low agricultural prices and the uncertainly of continued access to public lands. The public lands offer a forage resource that is annually renewable and livestock grazing is the best way to harvest it. Grazing provides a benefit from the public lands that benefits all Americans," Parker said. The Utah Farm Bureau Federation applauds the grazing rule changes that will improve BLM relationships with permittees and stew ardship of lands critical to open space, wildlife habitat and quality of life in the rapidly growing American West. In addition, the proposed rules will; Consider and document social, cultural and economic consequences of grazing decisions.
