Larry Kennedy Jr., one of the students, pushed to involve students, volunteers and the city in making the old building reusable. Hardwood floors were the roof repaired, the place was painted and the building was put back into use. It is still in use today and re-lai- is heavily booked. Menlove said when Kennedy graduated and left the area, it was decided to keep the Old Gym going. At that time, he said, the Juab Physical Fitness Association was formed. For several years, the group functioned. However, he said, he went to lineman school and could not keep serving. The board, little by little, quit functioning. We need to revitalize the board and, this time, I would like to reorganize and make it a whole county board, said Menlove. His vision, he said, was that the county would appoint a member, and the Area Weather From The Internet four municipalities of East Rocky Ridge, Mona, Nephi and Levan Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of rain and snow mph highs in the upper 30s.

The Old Gym has filled a need but there is a need for more, he said. For example, there is now, in addition to the youth basketball programs which began first, a mens basketball league. The interest is there for an indoor soccer program, a volleyball program, a mens and womens volley ball program, a womens basketball league and for other similar programs. We will meet as a board co-e- d and see what the critical needs are and try to get going toward meeting those needs, said Menlove. 1 Violence Calling for assistance will help the caller find counseling, health clinics, shelters, safe houses, support groups, police, mental health services, human service agencies, legal services, victim assistance groups and more. Domestic violence will not go away without outside help, said Carter. The person who is abused is not to blame and there is hope the violent cycle can be broken.

On Dec. 17, the USA Freedom Corps announced the results of a September survey showing an increase in service nationwide. The survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed that the percentage of Americans who volunteered during 2003 rose from 27.4 percent to 28.8 percent. However, here in Utah, a recent survey conducted by public relations students at Brigham Young University showed that 81 percent of Utahns volunteer. Utah as they consider whether people living beyond the St. George area should be made eligible for financial compensation being paid to those with radiation-relateillnesses caused by atomic testing. Approximately 100 people attended the day of hearings. Steele said the levels of radiation in the soil during the years of testing reached danger levels. At this time, the officially designated affected areas in the State of Utah are: the counties of Beaver, Garfield, Iron, Kane, Millard, Piute, San Juan, Sevier, Washington, and Wayne. It is ridiculous to think that contamination would be confined within imaginary land borders, said d Hovvarth. It is certain that radiation drifted north to Juab County during the 1950s. Royce said she is certain her cancer was caused by fallout from U.S. military nuclear bomb testing in Nevada. I was exposed to radiation from the time I was 3 years old to when I w'as 10 years old. If only we could go back in time to change things, she said. This was such a big mistake. Juab County needs to be part of the compensation plan. One resident of Juab County, Gloria Gustin, is currently involved in fighting cancer. She prepared a letter for the board which was presented in her behalf. I want to thank each of you for coming today and for sharing your stories with us, said committee chairman Dr. Julian Preston, a board member and scientist with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Environmental Carcinogenesis Division. He complimented those bearing testimony on the thoroughness of their presentations and the preparation that they made to make the testimonies easy to understand. of the North American con- tinent. Juab residents who ad- dressed the board on Monday begged the committee to include their type of cancer and their county in the compensation program. Why do w'e have to keep on hurting people in this way? asked Hazel Merrit, who belongs to the Utah Navajo Downwinders As- sociation. Weve lost so many of our people to cancer. Were dealing with a weapon of mass destruction here. This stuff is danger- Were just asking for ous. your help. They do test after test and then tell us we dont qualify (for the program), said Anne Marie Frazier from the Navajo Ration. When we talk about downwind, I think its unjustly labeled to be in just certain areas. The Navajo people w'ere exposed to all kinds of radiation.

Here at the Utah Commission on Volunteers, we are grateful for Gov. Walker and Lt. Gov. McKeachnie for their leaden-hiand vision. We also wi.-- h to commend the unique statewide collaboration of the many organizations that have come together to create tools such as ILivetoGive.org that make service more effective. Nevertheless, while Utah stands as an example of service and volunteerism to the world, there is still so much more that we must do within our borders. Utah has a legacy of sendee, and we should each examine our lives and ensure that we are helping carry on that legacy. Doing so will not only make Utah a better place live in, but it will make each of us a better person to live with. Scott G.
