LDS Hospital is joining forces with the National Cancer Institute and researchcenteni across the country in a potentially groundbreaking new study- - the largest and most extensive prostate cancer prevention human clinical trial ever conducted- - to answer that very question. The selenium and vitamin E prevention trial, or SELECT, will determine if those two dietary supplements, which other studies have suggested may protect men against prostate can- ccr, do in fact offer protection against the disease. The clinical trial is the first study designed to look specifically at the effects of vitamin E and selenium, both separately and together, in pre- venting prostate cHnecr. IJ)S Hospital researchers hope to enroll more than 1,000 men from the Intermountain Region into the study, Nationally, more thun 32,400 men will be enrolled at study centers throughout the United States and Canada.

Those who purchased the plote remained the owners, but the county was never given the money they had paid.

Lewis Wright, 6 1, was also given numerous prison sentences which were suspended in lieu of the jail time. Wright was originally charged with over 93 felony fraud counts after an audit showed the former cemetery sexton was keeping most ofthe money he was paid for burial plots in the Rock Point Cemetery when he worked for Uintah County. In a plea bargain agreement late last year Wright pled guilty to ten felony counts for forgeiy, theft and misuse of public money.

The report by Joseph Kieffer detailed problems he found in the computer system beingdeveloped by the department that may force it to be scrapped. Such s move would be a serious blow toefTorta to overhaul the $3 billion trust that manages royalties from Indian lands. Kiefier was appointed by US. District Judge Royce Lam berth to help oversee the changes to the t rust, lie criticized Interior officials, saying they have misled Congress and Lamherth about efforts to change it.

They claim the government mismanaged trust accounts created in 1987 to manage royalties from grazing, logging, miningand oil drilling on Indian land. The Indians say the losses total 610 billion. The government acknowledges mismanagement. Record-keepin- g was shoddy for decades and in some cases money wasstolen, used forother .federal programs or never collected. In late 1999, Lamberth ordered Interior to reconstruct the trust fund accounts, a ruling upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals.

There is no upper age limit for participation in the study. LDS Hospital researchers hope to recruit all of the study participants during the first five years ofthe trial, so that each man can be followed for at least seven years. Men enrolled from the Intermountain Region will be assigned by change to one of four groups. Onegroupwill take 200 microgramsof selenium daily plus an inactive capsule or placebo that looks like vitamin E. Another group will take 400 milligrams of vitamin E daily along with a placebo that looks like selenium. A third group will take both selenium and vitamin E. A final group will be given two placebos. Previous research with vitamin E and selenium- - in studies focused on other kinds of cancer- - suggested that these nutrients prevent prostate cancer," says Dr. Chidester. This study is focused on prostate cancer, and, when the study is finished, we will know without a doubt whether these supplements can prevent the disease.

Prosecutors alleged that Lloyd Nitzen, 40, continued doing appraisals even after he no longer had a license. Nitzen was a state cert:-- J. residential appraiser, but his license renewal was denied in 1999. Despite that, court documents say that he continued to appraise property by forging the name of a licensed documents.

Some people are soliciting fiinds in the name of Cecil Gurr and no one has been asked or authorized to col-- . lect funds of any sort, said Roosevelt Assistant Police Chief J.C. Hansen. We are not in any way, shape or form soliciting fiinds. The only approved donations in the name ofthe slain police chief are e those made to the Roosevelt Childrens Justice Center. The Childrens Justice Center is not actively soliciting any donations, Hansen noted. Unfortunately there is always somebody trying to make a buck off of somebody else. Before you donate to any organization check it out and make sure it is legitimate. Hansen said the area has also been targeted recently by phony contractors see king payment before any work has been done, as well as those soliciting funds for organizations or clubs in the name of someone.

Wildlife Board is honored The seven-membUtah Wildlife Board was honored recently as the 2001 Commission of the Year by the Western Association ofFishand Wild-lif- e Agencies (WAFWA). The WAFWA includes all of the fish and wildlife agencies in the western United States and western Canadian provinces. The Utah Wildlife Board consists of seven citizens appointed by Gov.

The Wildlife Board members who received the honor include Curtis Dastrup, Roosevelt; Dr. Max er Morgan, Price; Collin Allan, Mapleton; Coni. Brooks, Highland; Rick Danvir, formerly of Woodruff, ' Brenda Freeman, North Ogden and Raymond Heaton, Alton. Terms of Allan, Danvir, Dastrup and Heaton expired recently. They have been replaced by Allan Smith, Duchesne; Jim Bowns, Cedar City; Richard Diamond, Ogden and Paul Niemeyer, Annabella. Their work at involving more Utahns in tho state's wildlife management process was amongthe many reasons WAWFApresented the Utah Wildlife Board with the prestigious award.

Research shows that the body is anything but passive while dreaming; tlte brain secretes chemicals, blood pressu re can i ncreasc, the eyes move rapidly, and heart rate increases. All ancient cultures have left evidence of dream records, and most considered dreams to he gifts or prophecy from the gods. All religions and all mythologies have addressed the topic of dreaming. And important decisionsaboutwarand politics, and more than one scientific discovery, have been the result of information received via dreams. There are many beliefs once hold about dreaming that we now know to be false. Dreaming of falling off a cliff and not waking before you hit the ground, wont kill you.
