It was a small community of 500 people, 14 miles south of here. We could see the capitol from there. It stretched from the mountains to the Jordan River. Today, they call it Sandy and it has 80,000 people." Hamsun said. My community was destroyed. It was destroyed by freeways and growth." Building freeways encourages sprawl as speculators, developers and subdividers come in and buy up the farmland," Harrison warned.

Since he had a natural love for animals, and this was a way to reach out into the community, combining the two made lots of sense. And besides, earning an Eagle is a big accomplishment for him.

Jennifer Gilmore showed the audience a certificate her family received from Leavitt last year designating their ranch as a Centennial Farm for having remained in the same family for more than 100 years. It is ironic, she noted, that now the governor wants to run a highway through the ranch, located north of the Salt Lake International Airport. It was around the Christmas holiday when he thought about his community-wid- e project. He and his family noticed an article that reminded them to remember the animals. When I was going to get my cat from the shelter, I just saw all the animals there whining and sad and everything, so we went to talk to the shelter director and asked if we could help." My sister started crying when we left." We go into the pet stores and they're charging $300 and $400 for these dogs, when you can go to the animal shelter and get one that really needs a home," his mother said. Just because his project will come to an end, his outpouring of love for the animals will not. I think I may do it again. "A lot of my friends think its a good project. A lot of people say they hadnt seen anyone do this before and hope it turns into a good project, Jared said. He has plans to carry his work with the animals even further - in a profession.

But having to be at the fair so many djys in a row was difficult. Buckway said that Buffy found an excellent way to deal with the great influx of people walking by his pen. It went perfect. I thought hed get nervous, but when people got to bugging him. he'd get in the middle of the pen, curl up and lake a nap." he said. "Once, he put his head on my lap and went to sleep. People couldn't believe it. Thats pretty impressive for a wild animal weighing more than 800 pounds with horns that span 20 inches across. Buffy has grown almost double since the newspaper first met up with him. In July of last year Buffy weighed 400 pounds. Only 14 months later, he tipped the scales at over 800 pounds. Buffy is getting stronger every day, making Ralph happy that he began training him so early. He is eating 3 to 4 pounds of grain a day. He gains 1 12 to 2 pounds a day. When he first began training Buffy, he focused on simple tricks. But as time goes on, hes learning to do things that Buckway refers to as tricks.

He told of a day when he took Buffy to a movie theater. Buffy put his head right in the ticket window. I told the man I would need two tickets and the man asked me whether the buffjlo was house broken," said Buckway. I said no and that Buffy was going home. Jhe tickets were for later." Buffy has also been seeing more school children this year where he adds more meaning to their Utah history studies. Buffy and Buckway participated in nearly a dozen parades this year from Pleasant View to Layton. I had to keep a planner on him alone just to keep his days straight," said Buckway.
