It affects people in all social, economic, racial, religious and ethnic groups whether they are married, divorced, living together or dating. Although anyone can be a victim of domestic violence, women are the most common victims. Domestic violence is an ongoing, and damaging experience. Whenever a woman is in physical danger or controlled by the threat or use of force by a past or present intimate partner, she is a victim of domestic violence. This may frequently include forms of isolation from the outside world resulting in limited personal freedom and accessibility to resources. The risk of escalating violence also increases when women seek supportive networks or leave their abusers. No one asks for or deserves the abuse directed towards them. Women stay in abusive relationships for a variety of reasons including lack of economic resources, fear for the children, lack of awareness of the shelters and programs available, and love for her partner (not the abuse). It may take several violent events before a woman is ready to leave the abuse. With time and support from outside sources concerning domestic violence, the cycle of violence can be stopped. The Victim Advocate Program has been operating since February of 1997. We have assisted 215 clients. The program does not offer psychological counseling or therapy. The roleof the victim advocate is to assist victims of domestic violence through the period of immediate crisis. We arrange for transportation for the victim (and children) if necessary to a shelter, family members or another safe location. We assist victims with the filing of protective orders, and provide emotional support at court proceedings. We also provide victims with knowl Senator Bob Bennett announced (3.6 million grant coming to Utah from the United Statea Department of Transportation (USDOT) for the development of the Wolf Creek Pass Road in Wasatch County and various scenic highway projects including the Nebo edge of available support at court proceedings.

"Payson and Nephi, along with U.S. Forest Service, have been working very hard to develop the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway in recent years , said Bennett. This money will help further those development efforts.' The Wolf Creek Pass Road in Wasatch County will receive $3 million to improve access to range resources, and information on the dynamics of abuse within intimate relationships.

It seems we were wrong Now, barring conclusive evidence that the human remains were intentionally interred, the most serious charge looters of cultural heritage resources on state land may face is misdemeanor vandalism of an archaeological site. The message is that if you dig on state lands, you will likely get away with it, aays Duncan Metcalfe, ari chaeological curator of the Utah Museum of Natural History and a member of the states Native American Remains Committee. The penalties in our state antiquities laws are just not severe enough. We need to kick up the state penalties so they are equal to the punishment for pot hunting on .federal lands. Under the Antiquities Act of 1906 and the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, federal felony, misdemeanor and civil convictions can result in vehicle confiscation, fines to cover site restoration costa and imprisonment. 'Public sentiment is certainly on our aide, said Cuch, a member of the Northern Ute Nation. If the Redds are allowed to get off the hook, it shows what we need to do with our state laws to prevent this from happening again. .
