In 1920, California highway engineers decided State RouteT 4 — which was to link Sacramento with Los Angeles — didn’t need to go through Hanford, then a 23-year-old sheep-ranching railhead. Now known as California Highway 99, it runs 15 miles to the east. Then in 1964, federal highway planners steered Interstate 5 away as well. It’s 30 miles to the west. So all those local shoppers who might otherwise have made the 30- mile trip to Fresno or the 75-mile trek to Bakersfield stayed home.

On Monday morning, Trayci Ozuna sat in the chemotherapy room at St. Luke’s Mountain States Tumor Institute in Twin Falls. Seniors filled the common room, most quietly watching soap operas and game shows with their spouses while hooked up to the fluid-filled bags. Machines beeped and nurses tended to patients, but the room sat mostly silent. But Trayci had company.Her husband, Pete Ozuna, and friends Cora Thompson and help Stacy Allen chatted to help Trayci keep her mind off the chemo drugs dripping into her from her veins. Trayci’s friends and family have adjusted their schedules and, in some cases, rearranged their lives to help the bubbly, lively mother of two. In Tracyi’s case, as in so many others, it’s the person, not the disease, that inspires people to rally around their friends. friends See CANCER, Family Life 3
