The United States system of Interstate Highways is on the verge of completion. Only a segment of the system remains unfinished in Massachusetts, while in Utah and the rest of the nation initial interstate construction is complete.

Utah Foundation is a private, nonprofit public service agency The grandfather of sidewalk sales in Utah, the annual Bountiful event has been something shoppers could count on since the 1950s.

The foundation states that when the Interstate program got underway in 1957, Utah chose to begin with the most -- traveled urban high segments, which, because of such as overpasses and interchanges, were the most expensive to build. It naturally followed that the last Interstate things Bountiful Sidewalk Sale has something for everyone Remember the BOUNTIFUL when Bountiful's old days good, Sidewalk Sale was a fun community event?

This year the event offers something for everyone. "We'll still have great bargains, but we've " expanded what we usually do, Barton said.

Todd to run for mayor of Centerville Planning Commission Priscilla Todd. 4 her candidacy , Chair today announced lor mayor of Centerville City. The three term chairman of Centerville Citys Planning and Zoning Commission has been active in both community and church affairs. She has served as a member of the Ad Hoc Committee for the new Centerville City Complex, had extensive involvement in PTA, Boy Scouts of America, and church service. Because of her effective community leadership she was invited to address the Governor's Conference on Criminal Justice as well as speak at the State Capitol on Efficient Citizen Involvement. In announcing her candidacy Todd stated, "Centerville City must be more aggressive in seeking business opportunities. If elected, I will immediately form an economic development task force made of Centerville in earliest-constructe- rehabilitation and expansion to meet today's traffic loads. The cost so will be significantly greater than either the last completed rural stretches or the first-bui- lt urban Interstate miles because of 35 years of inflation. The first priority of Utah's highway planners is the "corridor" from north Bountiful in Davis County through Salt Lake City and on 12300 South in Sandy. Estimated cost of this project is a little more than $1 billion. No work on this project will be started until funds are identified. When the corridor project is from Kaysville to completed, Sandy should be a model of of doing state-of-the-- freeway construction. However, highway officials warn that anticipated growth and development will, result in this stretch of freeway being as overcrowded in the year 2010 as it is today. This situation returns attention to the question of supplementing highway facilities in the corridor with rail transport, as it would be impossible to expand highway The opportunity to really reform something only seems to come every couple of decades, according to Utah Issues. Right now, efforts in both Utah and the nation are likely to produce "the plan" to reform health care prior to the elections of 1994. Utah Issues publishes an information newsletter entitled Directions to provide statewide information on low income issues. They presented the following information in their July issue. President Clinton has made health care reform a national priority. Utah's Governor Mike Leavitt has established a Health Care Policy Option Commission commission to focus on three approaches in devising solutions; 1) an approach with the least amount of government involvement; 2) a private that is working under an unusually heavy schedule. Both reform sector are addressing the problems of unfair access, excessive cost and how to best deliver quality care. There will need to be interface when the around major cities. Problems of parking are added to the problems of highway capacity, and most major cities, and most moderate-size- d cities, have adopted some form of rail transport to bring workers living in the suburbs and surrounding areas to and from central cities. in-ci- ty Utah must increase its highway spending in the years immediately ahead if it wants to have the highway and road infrastructure necessary to accommodate one of the fast growing state populations, according to Utah Foundation. A state's infrastructure, one of which is highways, is critical for efficient movement not only of people but of business products. If Utah is to remain an attractive state for its citizenry and companies, proper funding of its highway is essential. national and state plans are ready and ongoing mechanism set up to assure that reforms stay in place. Weekly seven-hou- r meetings of Utah's Commission, chaired by Lt. Governor Olene Walker have been occurring. Testimony has been given on many aspects of the managed single-payerglob- low-inco- more than private sector competition to control costs and monitor quality and access. The upcoming months will be pivotal in the way health care is delivered in Utah and the United States. "Redesigning our health care system will require much from all of us to achieve what is best for all of us. Get involved!" states Utah Issues. SKIN HANGING FROM YOUR ABDOMEN?

The governor has charged the commission to provide every Utahn with access to some form of basic health care in an environment of cost containment. Leavitt asked the more businesses would expand the tax base and alleviate the already heavy tax burden shared by Centerville's citizens." stressed the impossibility of keeping up with motorists' increased demand solely by continuing to build and expand highways, particularly in and -- efforts range from leaving the present system in place to variations of economic approach government as a problem-solvin- g tool; and 3) a substantial government involvement approach.
