In order to prevent or mitigate exposures, a consultation may lead to specific actions, such as restricting use of or replacing water supplies; intensifying environmental sampling; restricting site access; or removing the contaminated material. In addition, consultations may recommend additional public health actions, such as conducting health surveillance activities to evaluate exposure or trends in adverse health outcomes; conducting biological indicators of exposure studies to assess exposure; and providing health education for health care providers and community members. This concludes the health consultation process for this site, unless additional information is obtained by ATSDR or ATSDR’s Cooperative Agreement Partner which, in the Agency’s opinion, indicates a need to revise or append the conclusions previously issued.

  • Rediscovering Provo's First Tabernacle with Ground
    Rediscovering Provo’s First Tabernacle with Ground-Penetrating Radar John H. McBride, Benjamin C. Pykles, Emily Utt, and R. William Keach II uring the early morning hours of December 17, 2010, fire broke out in Dthe Provo (Utah) Tabernacle, virtually gutting the historic building and leaving only the exterior walls standing in stable condition. On Octo- ber 1, 2011, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that the ruined tabernacle will be restored as the second temple of the Church in Provo (the Provo City Center Temple), giving a second life to the tab- ernacle. However, this building is not the first tabernacle in Provo. Many years before the present tabernacle was constructed, the “Old Tabernacle” (or “Old Meeting House”) stood immediately north of the tabernacle that burned (figures 1 and 2) (in this article, we will refer to the Old Taber- nacle as the first tabernacle and the burned Provo Tabernacle as the second tabernacle). The first tabernacle was razed in 1919. Over time, this building and all associated structures disappeared from the surface of the site, replaced by open landscaping north of the second tabernacle, and the exact location of the old building was forgotten. Prior to the excavation of the first tabernacle site, the roots of a great sycamore tree had spread beneath an area once occupied by the north entrance of the first tabernacle. Underneath the tree’s towering branches, generations of picnickers have unfolded their blankets on the ground, little aware of the rich legacy buried there. Because the area of the first tabernacle will undergo extensive modifica- tion in preparation for the new Provo City Center Temple, it was critical to understand the location and character of the buried nineteenth-century structures in order to provide information that could be used to help plan the development.

  • Gather All Safely in Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’S Conference
    Cosponsored by the Relief Society Gather All Safely In Christ April 30–May 1, 2020 Welcome to BYU Women’s Conference Dear Sisters, Welcome to the 2020 Brigham Young University Women’s Conference. We are delighted to have you here, and we thank you for bringing that special “Women’s Conference” spirit of charity and commitment with you. We are very grateful for the co-sponsorship of this conference by the Relief Society. Their guidance and influence in all of our preparations are unparalleled. Together we hope that you will feel answers to your concerns, comfort for your struggles, and encouragement in your efforts. This year’s theme, Gather All Safely In Christ, comes from President Russell M. Nelson’s emphasis on the gathering of scattered Israel in preparation for the Savior’s Second Coming. He has reached out to all of us, daughters of Heavenly Parents, and asked that we do all in our power to assist in bringing our brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and the blessings of the plan of salvation. In this conference we will explore the many ways we can facilitate this great gathering. We also invite you to respond to our invitation, described on the Women’s Conference website and social media pages, to help illustrate the many ways sisters are contributing to the gathering of Israel. Please share your examples and experiences with us, and we will share them with attendees at Women’s Conference this year. We especially note the second Sister-to-Sister Event on Friday morning as our sister leaders answer questions and concerns from around the world and here at home.

  • Herald Media
    Seeing the Provo City Center Temple through a blogger’s eyes September 28, 2014 9:00 am • Genelle Pugmire DAILY HERALD PROVO -- Provo residents and their cameras have been affixed on the corner of 100 North and University Avenue since the early hours of Dec. 17, 2010, when the Provo Tabernacle was engulfed in flames. The curiosity of what has happened on that corner during the past four years, and the desire to be a part of it, has kept camera shutters clicking, bloggers blogging and hundreds of thousands of readers reading. Google “Provo City Center Temple” and there are pages of media coverage and blog posts on the construction and transition going on at that downtown block -- which The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in October 2011 would undergo a transformation from LDS tabernacle to LDS temple. Julie Markham, a Provo blogger, has been taking weekly photos of the construction site since about the time the building was put on metal piers that looked like stilts. “My first post went up April 5, 2012,” Markham said. “At first I didn’t go very often, but once they put the tabernacle on piers, I started going several times a week. “Sometimes the pictures go up quickly, but usually I spend an hour or two at the site, and then four or five hours working on pictures and putting up the post.” Markham’s blog, newtempleinprovo.blogspot.com, has since received thousands of visits. A bit of history When LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson announced the burned-out tabernacle shell would be restored and become a temple, the building and surrounding grounds attracted fans like a rock star.
