We have been blessed the past eight years to have been led by Dr. Patricia Ravert, and I wish her the best in her retirement adventures. As I’ve thought about the uncertainty of the world during the COVID-19 pan- SORENSEN SAVANNA demic, I am pleased that among the frontline heroes being recognized are the devoted nurses and nurse practitioners who have risked their health to assist their patients. They have also pleaded with others on social media to stay home and wear masks and have become symbols of strength to those across the nation. RIGHT: MARS MARENO When we hear of family members not being able to be with their loved ones during hospitalization, it is reassuring to know that a nurse was there to hold a hand, facilitate a video chat, or provide compassion as the Savior would. As I learn of alumni caring for patients and families afflicted with the virus, I am so proud of and grateful for our nursing graduates who are exemplifying the Healer in these kinds of ways.

  • Reuse and the Benefit to Community: Kennecott South Zone Superfund Site
    Reuse and the Benefit to Community Kennecott South Zone Introduction Mining has long been a way of life in and around Utah’s Bingham Canyon. Few ore deposits in the world have been more productive than those found at Bingham Canyon Mine. The mine has produced millions of tons of copper and tons of gold and silver. Mining operations also contaminated soil, surface water and groundwater in the surrounding area, referred to by regulators as the Kennecott South Zone (the site). During cleanup discussions, the site’s potentially responsible party, Kennecott Utah Copper, LLC (Kennecott), proposed a course of action that would address contamination while avoiding placing the site on the Superfund program’s National Priorities List (NPL). This approach was the template for the Superfund Alternative Approach, which has since been used at sites across the country. EPA approved the cleanup plan, setting the stage for the site’s cleanup and remarkable redevelopment. Open communication, extensive collaboration and innovative thinking helped contribute to the transformation of this once contaminated, industrial site into a thriving residential area and regional economic hub. Superfund site restoration and reuse can revitalize local economies with jobs, new businesses, tax revenues and local spending. Cleanup may also take place while active land uses remain on site. This case study focuses on the Kennecott South Zone, primarily on operable unit (OU) 7 and an area known as the Daybreak development, which includes and surrounds OU7. Today, OU7 and several other parts of the site support a wide range of commercial, industrial, public service, residential and recreational reuses.
