...help others. That it took a tragedy for people to forget themselves and remember family, freedom and God is a sad commentary on Americans. Maybe we have learned something from this. Do I want to return to the selfishness and complacency of a "normal" life? No! MINDY CARLSON Provo, Utah...
...would think that someone like Naldur would be ready to sign up for his game cards, given the toll bronco busting is taking on his body. Last year the school psychologist from Layton, Utah, broke a rib and a leg, ruptured his spleen, separated his shoulder and suffered a concussion. Each time he taped himself up and got back on the horse a few days later. "Every autumn I have a retirement party," Naldur says. "Then in spring the snow melts, the flowers bloom, and I realize nothing's really changed except I'm one year older." His wife Mazie...

That means a lot of big families and a need for new housing. South Jordan grew during the 1990s from 12,000 people...
Kennecott's once dominant local stature has diminished over the years with its shrinking operations, the influx of new-economy folk like computer-chip makers and software firms, and growth in tourism and business services. Tech companies such as Intel and Provo-based Novell draw on Utah's young, educated work force. This creeping diversity isn't only commercial: in August a Hindu temple opened in South Jordan, which is 75% Mormon...
