SHROOMFEST … Wrapping up details after an event says as much about an organization's long-term viability as bringing the stars into our eyes. Making sure bills get paid, stained carpets cleaned, money wired overnight to make good somebody's rent – there are myriads of aftershocks to making a big quake. And this year's Telluride Mushroom Festival scored high on the Fungal Richter Scale. Dazzling talks. A half-dozen tracks – from identification and culinary, to entheogenic and medicinal, to cultural and cultivation. Forays into the surrounding San Juan Mountains that brought a host of colorful species to our free display tables in Elks Park. And always the parade, where fungophiles dress up like shrooms and follow the Amanitamobile up & down Colorado Avenue … Lots of folks to thank, of course, starting with Pam & John Lifton-Zoline and the Telluride Institute under the able leadership of Dan Collins. Thanks to our many sponsors – Wilkinson Library, Fungi magazine, Telluride Watch, Telluride Alpine Lodging, Alpine Wellness, Shroomery, and MAPS. Thanks to a terrific staff, starting with Kandee DeGraw and moving on down to our first-time volunteers. Kudos to an amazing faculty of 45 mycological experts. Thanks to local friends of the festival from long-time attendees George Greenbank to first-time supporters Congratulations to our 63 scholarship attendees. And our gratitude to all the many town institutions that assisted us, from the Palm Theatre to the Parks and Recreation Dept. of the Town of Telluride … Thank you, Telluride, for another crazy wonderful Shroomfest.
RENDON-JAIN WEDDING … Former Durango mayor, long-time social activist and Rainbow brother Michael Rendon married the love of his life, Minna Jain, up at Berri Park in the mountains above Vallecito Reservoir. It was a wild affair. The theme was gypsy circus garb, and the ceremony was most unconventional (in no small part of my own participation as co-celebrant) … Lightning and thunder ripped the outdoor wedding site a couple hours before showtime. I sat curiously peaceful in my thin nylon tent as fulsome strokes of Thor's rage slammed its fists all around me and a downpour turned the meadow to mud … But, as is often the way with weddings, the clouds cleared, the sun poked through, and Michael and Minna exchanged vows in a burst of sunshine. Such is the Way of the Mountain when dealing with such magical people. All blessings on their union.
Lone Cone in a storm
takes my breath away
and gives it back as break.
As riff. As solo harmony
to my innermost ring.
Hafiz would have us
embrace. Even the
darkness. Rimbaud too.
Which is what mother
mountains do best:
Give dawn witness,
Speak dark truth.

@accfootballnews Notre Dame told ASU to get off their porch and now ASU is text messaging the hell out of them.
ASU AD goes after Notre Dame for possibly dumping Sun Devils
By Zac Ellis
On Tuesday, news broke that Notre Dame was adding Florida State to its upcoming ACC schedule for 2014. The Irish are joining the ACC in every sport except football, but will still play five football games against ACC teams in their inaugural season.
Alongside that news came word that Notre Dame might be dropping Arizona State from its 2014 slate. According to Fox Sports Arizona, neither team has made anything official, so as of now the two programs are still slated to face off in Tempe on Oct. 25, 2014. But Sun Devils athletic director Steve Patterson didn't let that stop him from opening up on Notre Dame's apparent disinterest in keeping his program on its schedule.
In an interview with Phoenix radio station XTRA Sports 910 AM, Patterson went after Notre Dame's manner of handling business:
"The school didn't have the courtesy to have the athletic director (Jack Swarbrick) call the athletic director at ASU to discuss it," Patterson said. "They had their PR guy call (ASU's media relations office) to give us a message Friday afternoon while everybody was out of town at the Final Four. At least in the little Catholic town I grew up in — Beaver Dam, Wis. — the good nuns wouldn't have thought that was a very appropriate way to honor your word."
He continued:
"If you act in a professional way and you want to talk about three years down the line or four years down the line where somebody's got a chance to make an adjustment in their schedule, that's a different thing, but when it's 18 months out, everybody's got their season booked."
The Irish say they are still working out their 2014 schedule. Interestingly, Arizona State and Notre Dame are slated to play this season on Oct. 5 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. If this quarrel continues, that game will take on a whole new storyline. Will it continue, though? At least one college football pundit thinks the Sun Devils should get over the rejection:
So Notre Dame dumped you ASU face the facts there Kate Upton and your not—

MOUNT VERNON — The barrels have disappeared from Coshocton Avenue. Mount Vernon Safety-Service Director Dave Glass, standing in for Mayor Richard Mavis at the mayor's weekly press briefing, said the good weather allowed the contractor to work Friday on striping and signage. Final touches are expected to be completed by the end of today.
"We held off on putting up the new signs until the striping was done. We didn't want to confuse people as there will be some changes," Glass said.
The striping and signs will essentially complete the project, as only some minor things remain to be done.
Rolls Royce
Glass noted that Rolls Royce is completing work on its new building and is also doing some sidewalk and street repairs in the area.
He said the city expects to proceed in the spring with the improvements to the intersection of Sandusky and Chestnut streets to allow easier movement of some of the big items being shipped out of the plant.
Leaf collection
Glass said the city's leaf collection is going well and the city crews have begun their second pass through the city.
"We hope to be finished or close to it by Thanksgiving," he said.

01/04/2012 - Outi Tervo was on the bow, crouching from the knifing wind, with another scientist, Kristin Westdal. A hydrophone 30 feet under water connected to headphones beneath Tervo's fur-trimmed parka. The motors were still, the frigid water quiet but for the snaps and whistles of the drifting sea ice and the eerie chatter of bearded seals. For six days they had heard nothing else but silence.Then . . . a low moan.Tervo was not sure. "I didn't know if I was just wishing I heard it. Kristin was staring into my eyes. She could see I was excited. I gave her the headphones, and I could see her eyes light up. "A bowhead whale, the subject of biologist Tervo's long fascination, had quietly left Greenland's Disko Bay, headed for the entrance to the famed Northwest Passage, a stop on its grand, looping migration. Somewhere beneath the Arctic Endeavour, the whale broke its mute sojourn, perhaps calling to the herd slipping toward the polar ice pack, or perhaps gauging the ice from the echoes."The whales sing all the time when they arrive in Disko Bay in early January, and then by late May it's complete silence until they leave. Nobody has had the chance to follow them to see if they say anything on their migration," said Tervo, a Finnish scientist aboard the Pew research vessel.The 45-foot Arctic Endeavour prowled Greenland's western coast for four weeks last June to expand scientific knowledge of migrating whales and the legendary narwhal, and to make a point about how much is not yet known."There's an incredible marine migration that goes through that area," said Christopher Debicki, who headed the expedition for the Pew Environment Group. "We have been talking about it for years, but we wanted to study it. There are a lot of mysteries about that migration."Pew's interest in the Arctic North is prompted by what it sees as a fleeting opportunity—and a growing threat. The opportunity is to put science-based rules in place before man's footprint on the remote region grows greater."Pew's Oceans North campaign is about trying to get out ahead of the curve for a new frontier," said Steve Ganey, a senior officer in the environment group. "We want to make sure that before we do anything, we look at it and make sure we do it right."The threat comes from a meltdown induced by climate change, and from the fishermen, vessel captains and oil drillers who are watching the growing open Arctic sea, preparing to move in.The Arctic is feeling the effects of climate change twice as quickly as more temperate zones. Already, average temperatures have risen 2 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit in the Arctic over the past decade, with upper predictions of a 13-degree rise this century. The polar ice cap, once a massive and indomitable helmet atop the earth, is becoming the planet's beanie, skirted by ships in open water. The average ice cap shrank by one-third in the past decade compared with the previous two; last summer it was the second-smallest on record, only slightly larger than in 2007.Polar bears and seals, which thrive on the confluence of ocean and ice, are seeing their hunting and birthing areas melt away. Inuit and other northern indigenous peoples can no longer trust the frozen paths they have used for thousands of years. The underpinnings of the marine ecosystem—from plankton to forage fish to predators—are shifting along with the melting of the ice into new relationships and patterns that both Arctic residents and scientists are struggling to understand."There's no question that my grandkids and my son and daughter will be in a very different world," said Edward Saggan Itta, 66, a hunter and former mayor of Alaska's North Slope Borough, a community that includes 2,600 Inupiat Eskimos. Last spring, Itta and his son crossed miles of rough ice to a narrow open channel created by the thaw. They harpooned a huge bowhead whale slipping through the channel on its migratory trek, one of four whales taken that season by the community for subsistence.Because of the changing climate, the whales now come two or three weeks earlier than in years past, making the spring whale hunt difficult and dangerous, Itta said."We're reluctant to go out so early in the year. It's still dark, and the temperatures are below freezing," he explained. "The ice is very rough, and very thin, and it's harder to keep the whaling crews safe."The frozen mysteries of the polar region captivated—and often captured—explorers just a century ago. Men like Amundsen, Henson, Byrd and Franklin sought fame by daring the ice pack. Many perished, their vessels caught and crushed in the Arctic's grip.Now, holiday cruise ships bearing tourists nose tentatively through Canada's Northwest Passage. On the other side of the North Pole, tankers plow through 2,000 miles of open water past the northernmost tip of Russia. Drillers prepare to plunge through the cold waters to tap oil and gas. And scientists keep advancing their estimates of when summers will find the Arctic Ocean ice-free: perhaps in 90 years, they used to say, then 40; now it seems likely within one or two decades."When I was working out of Barrow, the whole thing was totally ice covered," Vera Alexander, who spent 50 years studying Arctic oceanography at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, recalled of her work on the northernmost U.S. settlement. "Now, in the summer, there's not an ounce of ice to be seen.""The ice is melting. We are going to have a new ocean," Ganey said. "And there's going to be tremendous interest in oil and gas, in new shipping routes, in industrial fishing."A range of Arctic countries, international organizations, local communities and environmental groups fret about how to avoid a free-for-all in the coming rush for resources."We identified a bottom-up approach," said Ganey, "one that has pragmatic policies, one that people can agree to in the areas that are going to be affected first."As part of that strategy, Pew tapped Scott Highleyman, a lawyer who had worked on conservation throughout Alaska for 13 years. Starting in 2008, Highleyman spent nine months traveling around the northern Inuit communities of Canada, talking to the people who stood most to lose—or gain—from changes in the Arctic. "The number one rule is that you don't come up North with preconceived ideas. You are looking for northern conservation solutions to northern problems," Highleyman said. "There are lots of north-south tensions around these issues," he noted. "But you start talking about habitat for the marine life that communities still rely upon, and you find very quickly you have common ground."As ice floes that block fishermen disappear, commercial fishing is likely to follow. But incomplete scientific information about the marine ecosystem could mean problems in ensuring new fisheries are sustainable. Inuit communities want to safeguard important fish stocks like Arctic cod that are key in the region's food chain."A fleet of 30 factory trawlers is not going to show up in the Beaufort Sea tomorrow," Highleyman said. "But five boats could show up in the hotspots and wipe out the fish that sustain beluga whales. Those hotspots are incredibly important. And we don't really understand how they work. There is a huge population of Arctic cod, for example, and we don't really know where they go in winter."Pew started work in December 2008 under the direction of Marilyn Heiman, who oversees the institution's U.S. Arctic program. By November 2009, with the support of conservationists, Alaska's commercial fishing industry and Arctic communities, the United States adopted a fisheries management plan to prevent the start of commercial fisheries in the 212,000 square miles of U.S. Arctic waters until scientific data could ensure the ecosystem could sustain them.Similar steps are being considered in neighboring Canadian waters, where the government has agreed to start working with Inuvialuit organizations on when and how commercial fishing in the Canadian portion of the Beaufort Sea should be considered. Pew's Oceans North Canada campaign has supported background science and technical papers to aid in the discussion.To the east across the top of North America, Pew is helping to support creation of a large marine protected area in Lancaster Sound. Portal to Canada's Northwest Passage, Lancaster Sound is a major migratory pathway for 85 percent of the world's narwhal, whose spear-like tooth made them the unicorns of the sea, as well as bowhead whales. In addition to scientific research, Pew is working with native Inuit to chronicle their time-tested knowledge of the region. Recently, the Canadian government renewed its pledge to create a national marine conservation area in Lancaster Sound that would bar any offshore oil and gas development. In the meantime, the government promised not to allow any offshore oil and gas leasing or seismic testing."Industry says it can be done safely. All we are asking is that they show us before they drill," said Trevor Taylor, Oceans North Canada's policy director in Ottawa, and a shrimp- and crab-boat captain before he served in Newfoundland's provincial legislature.Canada's National Energy Board is reviewing drilling in its Arctic waters. Pew's Oceans North Canada campaign released a report in September calling for stronger environmental regulations on drilling and greater planning for spill clean-up, and urging that the communities of the North get a proportional share of the royalties."We know inevitably you will have some problem. You will have a spill," Taylor said. "The people who bear the brunt of any disaster—the marine mammal loss, the fisheries loss—would be the people of the Arctic."Even before the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010, Pew had urged a time-out on oil and gas activity in the U.S. Beaufort and Chukchi seas until there was adequate spill response in place and a science-based plan that protected wildlife and indigenous communities. In March 2010, the Obama administration canceled four new drilling-lease sales in the Arctic and withdrew 33 million acres off southwest Alaska, which includes Bristol Bay, from oil and gas leasing until 2017.This culturally and ecologically rich region, known as America's fish basket, provides more than 40 percent of the U.S. seafood catch and is home to the largest wild sockeye run in the world. Pew is working with communities and fishermen in the region for a permanent ban on drilling in Bristol Bay.Despite these time-outs, the push for drilling in the U.S. Arctic continues. Oil drilling off Alaska's North Slope already is an incendiary political issue."It is likely there will be drilling," said Heiman, a veteran of conservation efforts in and out of government who helped shape legislation in Alaska after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill."The question is when and where and how fast the administration will let the drilling happen. With high seas, ice, darkness that lasts for two months and sub-zero temperatures, this is probably the most challenging place on the planet to drill for oil, and the most dangerous." To help answer some of these questions, Oceans North U.S. commissioned the most comprehensive analysis to date on oil-spill prevention and response in the U.S. Arctic.The findings of the report made a case for a more cautious approach to oil and gas development. Equipment for oil-spill cleanup is not close by in the Arctic. There are air strips or boat ramps instead of harbors and airports, and flights are often grounded by bad weather. Booms and skimmers do not work in ice, and chemical dispersants are ineffective in cold water."We are not opposed to all drilling in the Arctic Ocean," Heiman said. "But we really need to ensure that spill response and containment equipment have been tested in Arctic conditions and that Arctic-grade prevention and response standards are in place before industry moves forward."Drilling in the Arctic should not be an all-or-nothing decision, said Henry Huntington, Pew's Arctic science director in Eagle River, Alaska."Biology is not uniform. Some places are more important than others, just like on land: You wouldn't want to drill in Yellowstone Park," he said. "There are shallows and depths and upwellings. So it matters where you drill. You decide on the areas where biology is so important that you just ought to stay out of them."In the pristine Arctic waters, oil-well blowouts are not the only nightmare. A passing cargo ship or tanker punctured by ice could cause a disaster in this fragile environment, Heiman said."As the ice melts, the Northwest Passage is going to become a major shipping route," she said. "Responding to an oil spill from a tanker would be virtually impossible there."But the U.S. and Canadian policies sought by Pew are limited, as countries control areas up to 200 miles from their coasts. Drawing a line at those limits from the United States, Russia, Norway, Canada and Greenland leaves an area of international jurisdiction in the central Arctic Ocean about the size of the Mediterranean Sea. No international agreement is in place to regulate commercial fishing in this area. But it has never mattered: The area has been covered in year-round ice for at least 800,000 years. Until now."Using government data, we mapped the extent of summer sea ice in relation to the international waters of the central Arctic Ocean for the first time," Highleyman said. Pew's analysis found that in recent summers, from 14 percent to 40 percent of this area was already open water. "It's now feasible for commercial fishing to move into the central Arctic Ocean. And without a new international agreement, it is perfectly legal for fishing vessels from any country to do so without any rules or information about the ecosystem."Based on the analysis, in 2010 Pew began encouraging Arctic countries to meet and negotiate a simple international agreement to prevent the start of commercial fishing in the international waters of the central Arctic Ocean until the science and management are in place to ensure sustainability. Highleyman is encouraged by the progress: "The United States and Greenland have stated an agreement is needed. We're hopeful that leadership from Russia, Canada and Norway can make the agreement a reality." Although an international agreement is needed to regulate commercial fishing, the fate of much of the continental shelf in the area will be decided under the 1982 Law of the Sea Treaty, signed by 162 countries. Coastal nations such as Russia, Denmark and Canada are hoping to show a tribunal governed by the treaty that their national jurisdiction of continental shelf—including any underlying oil and gas—should be as much as 100 miles beyond each nation's current 200-mile limit. The United States would like to make the same claim but can't because the U.S. Senate has never ratified the treaty. Pew is urging ratification of the agreement to give the United States full membership in the international community deciding the fate of the Arctic.In both the Arctic's national and international waters, Pew advocates science- and community-based solutions to the region's challenges. As Highleyman noted, "We're not trying to stop all development in the North. The North needs an economy. The young people in the North all need jobs."The campaigners worry that attempts to put a process in place may be overwhelmed by the fast pace of climate change.Heiman believes it's an effort worth making."It's about trying to have a bigger vision, and look at a place that has not been destroyed yet, hasn't been lost yet," Heiman said. "We can play a role in trying to maintain some of those incredibly important ecosystems. That is some of the best work we can do.""It is possible to do it right," Highleyman added. "But you can't do it right without the science. We don't have the answers to a lot of the important questions."That was the motivation for the voyage of the Arctic Endeavour, seeking to track bowhead whales and narwhal in their restless trek as they migrate from Greenland to Lancaster Sound and loop back to Hudson Bay.Pew wanted to show the usefulness of a small trawler to scientists, cutting the dependence on big, expensive icebreakers typically used for research. In this quest, fickle ice blocked the planned route: The Arctic Endeavour hit a wall of ice as it tracked the bowhead migration off northwest Greenland. The whales slipped below the frozen wall, undeterred in their journey, able to break through two feet of ice for an occasional breath.Guided by Inuit from a village on the nearby shore, the ship's crew camped out on the moving ice floe for two days. Seals came to meet the visitors, perhaps curious about the humans' fluorescent snowsuits. The sun hovered, always above the horizon. Their guides kept watch for polar bears, agile swimmers who can erupt from the water with alarming speed."It was an incredibly beautiful floe edge, and the bowheads were bumping into it," said Debicki, the expedition leader. "You could look out and see their plumes, their backs, their tails. It was a very, very still day, and the nights were still. The air was full of bowhead exhalations—steam shooting out of their blowholes."It was an absolutely serene place," he added. "There was such calmness. It was the kind of moment that reminds me why I'm doing this work."

Lee County Superintendent Joseph Burke had a message for the state government on Tuesday: "Back off."
On Sept. 27, the Lee County School District secured a $17.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, with the money aimed at attracting and retaining talented teachers and principals through bonuses if they boost student performance at "high-need" schools.
But at a briefing meeting Tuesday, some of the board members raised concerns about keeping the teachers already working in the district, as well as new recruits that will be arriving because of the money provided by the Teacher Incentive Fund grant.
"I've talked to several people after we received this grant," Board member Don Armstrong said. "Some of them are very effective teachers. They are frustrated, stressed to the max, and about to give up. So I want to know how we can help them as a board?"
Burke said that much of the teacher frustration is a result of constant change, pressure, and state mandates that are hindering the districts' ability to retain them.
"One of the things we can do is we can tell the state of Florida to back off and stop giving us all these mandates," Burke said.
Terri Kinsey, grant coordinator for Lee County schools, said one of the primary purposes of the TIF grant is to give support to new and existing teachers.
"We've thought long and hard about how to keep great teachers," Kinsey said. "We really wanted to focus on mentoring brand new teachers. That's where they can make the most growth, but it is also where they need the most support."
Kinsey said with money from the grant, mentors and teacher leaders would work with existing staff on professional development, so they can become more effective educators.
Teachers who perform at a high level will be rewarded with bonuses. Performance pay has been proposed all over the country, but some critics argue such reforms lure talented educators and students away to wealthier districts and charter schools.
Lee County is trying to achieve the exact opposite. The district is slated to receive a guaranteed $17.6 million during the next two years, and could be awarded a total of $45.6 million over five years, which the district hopes will help entice and keep the best and brightest educators in Lee County.
The grant money will go directly to 32 Lee schools in "critical need," based on a negative three-year performance (C or D grade) or schools with a high poverty rate in its student population.
Board member Jane Kuckel, wondered if that meant dipping further into reserves following the completion of the grant.
"What happens after five years?" Kuckel asked. "We're already short in our budget $25 million this year. Balancing the budget is a big factor for us."
The idea is to improve the 32 schools so the incentives are not needed indefinitely, Burke said.
Teachers who instruct in high-need subjects — such as math, special education and science — could receive bonus pay of up to $3,000 annually.
"The number of teachers coming out of college that have degrees in math and science are really small," Burke said. "So we have to recruit teachers that are coming from other careers to teach those subjects."

MONTROSE – If some sort of financial assistance isn't agreed upon sometime in the near future, the 18-hole Black Canyon Golf Club will close for a brief period this winter and reopen in February as a nine-hole course.
"We are more than willing to consider all options," Montrose Land Company Boardmember Buck Miller said on Tuesday. "The objective has always been to preserve the golf course for Montrose and we want to preserve it as an 18-hole golf course."
For the Montrose Land Company, which owns the front nine holes of the course, and the City of Montrose, which owns the back nine, preserving the 18-hole golf course in its entirety is tougher than ever as the region continues to feel the pinch of a slumping economy, declining golf numbers, competition, and rising costs for infrastructure upgrades and maintenance.
The Montrose Land Company was first formed in 1961 for the purpose of bringing golf to Montrose and opened and operated the Black Canyon Golf Club as a nine-hole golf course until 1986. It was then, at the request of the Montrose Economic Development Corporation, a set of landowners donated land to the City of Montrose. The city accepted the donation and, along with the issuance of $300,000 in general revenue bonds, the course's back nine holes were built. The city leased the back nine holes to the Montrose Land Company and it has operated the full 18-hole golf course since that time.
For awhile, the Black Canyon Golf Club was the only 18-hole golf course in the region but in 1999 the Cobble Creek golf course was built and in 2003 the Bridges golf course opened. The new golf competition in the Uncompahgre Valley reduced the revenue the Black Canyon Golf Club was used to getting.
"The revenue pie got cut into thirds," Miller said, adding that the company notified the city that financial difficulties in running the full 18 holes were being felt.
After several years of negotiations, according to Miller, a financial assistance agreement with the city was reached in September 2008 whereby the city agreed to provide $40,000-$50,0000 in financial assistance each year along with some capital improvement. That financial agreement remained in place until last month when the Montrose Land Company began talks with the city to draft a new financial agreement. But because of the economic crash starting in 2008 and rising infrastructure costs and upgrade needs, the reality for the Montrose Land Company is that $40,000-$50,000 a year was no longer enough.
"We met with the city in July and provided them a rough draft of a proposed new agreement – this was a rough draft and submitted as a starting point – and we asked for up to $100,000 a year but also had an agreement provision that said if the financial fortunes turn around and we don't need the money, we won't ask for it," Miller said. "We also indicated that the pump house on the back nine needs to be replaced.
"They came to us six months ago and said they can't do it on $40,000-$50,000 a year," City Manager Bill Bell said on Monday. "They said the need was $100,000 a year and capital work as the pump house on the back nine was getting pretty old."
After speaking to members of the Montrose City Council, Bell said it was the conclusion that $100,000 a year in financial support is just too much.
"The current city position is we don't feel comfortable providing $100,000 in tax dollars to support it," Bell said.
But Miller said the $100,000 figure was not etched in stone. The rough draft of the proposal, he said, was just that: a rough draft.
"It was a starting point," Miller said. "The $100,000 acknowledges the cost of maintaining the back nine. If the city can provide manpower and assistance to take care of some of those repairs, we can get by with $40,000-$50,000 and we'll try to get some additional support. All along we have contemplated that this would be a process of discussion and negotiation with the city."
Miller was also told that assistance in the form of $40,000 for two years and another $28,000 in pump improvements was also unacceptable for the city.
"On that basis, we made the decision to close the golf course on December first for the winter to preserve funds," Miller said. "When we open up in February, it will operate it as a nine-hole golf course. We will make the appropriate changes to see if we can survive as a nine-hole course."
City Attorney Stephen Alcorn said the city was willing to, and budgeted for, another $40,000 this year but was unwilling to more than double that figure to $100,000.
"We said the city had budgeted $40,000 this year and they told us that it wouldn't do anything for them in the long-term," Alcorn said. "The city wants it to be a successful 18-hole golf course. It's not the city's decision to make it a nine-hole course, it was a decision a private entity made. There are 616 members at the golf course. That means there are 18,400 citizens that aren't members. That has weighed on the city's decision."
What will happen to the land donated to the city for the back nine holes? Alcorn said the land was conveyed to the city for the purposes of a golf course and/or open space. If the land is not used for a golf course the original land owners can ask for it back.
"Of course, we have no control over what those landowners would do," Alcorn said. "They may not be interested in that. I have more questions than I have answers as to what might happen to that land. The city's number one preference is that Black Canyon keeps it and runs it as an 18-hole course."
Bell said city officials are hoping to meet with the original landowners to discuss their options and potentially meeting with golf course members and the public as well.
As for Miller, he remains hopeful that some financial agreement to keep the 18-hole golf course open may still come. He was especially encouraged that a chamber of commerce committee was formed earlier in the week to gather more information and explore options to find a solution to the problem.
"We are more than willing to work with the city on the timing of things and trying to get a partner so they are aware of the issues on the back nine," Miller said. "Right now the golf course is facing difficult times but Montrose is going to grow and as Montrose grows there will be a real need for an 18-hole municipal golf course."

Nothing you have told us tells us WHY the head is stuck, and that is important because it will tell us if you have any chance of removing it without a major excavation job.
I have a snake head trapped at an elbow in a cast iron drain pipe where it is joined by a 2" vertical steel drain pipe/vent. I am advised to have the basement floor jackhammered and the pipe replaced. I propose to cut the steel pipe 6" above the floor, drain the water and take out an 18" section of pipe to get at the snake head and rejoin the steel pipe with hubless connectors. I could really use advice.

My kitchen sink on the ground floor drains into a 2" steel pipe that goes out the roof and joins a cast iron drain pipe at the basement floor. Approximately 34 years ago, I had a rooter guy cleaning out my kitchen drain. He used a snake and could not get it past the elbow of the cast iron pipe at the basement floor level. The snake broke off at the elbow and was never retrieved. The rooter guy put a balloon on the end of a garden hose and lowered it down the vent pipe on the roof until it was below the level of the kitchen sink drain. Then I turned on the water and the pressure blasted the clog free, but the snake head was still at the basement floor level elbow. Every year since then, in the Autumn, I would lower a balloon down the pipe and blast the line clear before Winter came. This year I was busy with other house emergencies and never got around to it. The drain clogged. I hired a plumber (not a rooter guy) to go up and blast it out for me. He insisted on taking a snake up to the roof. I let him go up to find out for himself. He sought the use of my garden hose and balloon to blast the clog out as I originally wanted him to. But, it did not clear the drain. Now, the sink was completely clogged and not just slow. We went to the basement and I showed him the 2" pipe that came from the kitchen sink down along the basement wall and where the cast iron pipe disappears into the basement floor. He said the only solution was to jackhammer the cement floor and replace the cast iron pipe that goes along underneath the basement floor. I thanked him for his services and told him I would have to leave it as it was. He charged me $95 and the sink is still clogged. Now the floor under which the cast iron pipe goes towards the main line is in a fully carpeted, fully furnished den. I propose to saw through the steel pipe far enough above the union with the cast iron pipe that I will be able to fit a no-hub fitting around the pipe at the cut when I have the pipe cleaned out. I would then make another cut 18" higher to remove a section of pipe to allow access to the joint where I believe the snake head is. After the retrieval I would be able to replace the removed section of pipe and fasten it in place with 2 no-hub connectors. What problems do you see with my proposed approach?
What you may find is the cast iron ell has failed and the snake is stuck into the ground. Snakes don't often break in lines that haven't separated.
You can cut the above-ground piping and try to snake from there. Whether you find the snake head or are able to clear the line is not guaranteed.
If you can get access close to the blockage, you will be able to determine more precisely where the stoppage is, which means you could cut a smaller hole in the floor with a concrete saw instead of breaking open a large area to make the repair.
No harm in trying. either way you are going to have to cut that pipe and pair

The only problem is that even then you may not be able to retrieve the head, especially after that much time has passed. Snakes to NOT break off in an elbow, unless there is some very serious problem in the pipe.

I sincerely hope the snake didn't auger into the ground. The idea of sawing the cement really helps. If the cast iron needs to be replaced at least I can dig it out a bit and save a little on the plumber bill. Working with cast iron is totally out of my league.

It is supposed to be, and I am glad you figured it out before you went past your "level of incompetence".

I don't know what happened to the snake; I couldn't find it. Once I cleaned out the gunk by repeatedly pouring in water and vacuuming it out, I found a pile of lead drips blocking the pipe. After removing the stub of steel pipe I found that no oakum had been packed around the pipe before the lead was poured. It appeared the snakes had pushed the lead drips into a pile that finally completely blocked the drain. Looking back I realize that it never ran what could be called really free. After cleaning out all the lead I could reach with coat hanger wire and a long needlenose I replaced the removed steel pipe with PVC with a clean out "Y". It now drains fine. The house was built in 1940. Has anyone ever run into this before?

Austin >Food & Dining > Mesa Hills Cafe
3435 Greystone Dr Ste 112, Austin, TX | Directions 7873130.357152 -97.748458
Daily 10am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Wood Creek
I want to nominate this restaurant for Kitchen Nightmares! – The location is so good and the menu is good--but the food just doesn't do it! We are so bummed because we live on the north side and it would be nice to have food that was good on our side of town! I think what upsets us the most is that the restaurant has such potential--there's no reason they shouldn't be slammed every nite! If the food tasted as good as the menu described it, they would have a wait every nite. Call Gordon Ramsey!
Poor Customer Service – Went to lunch there at around 1:15 PM, after the noon rush. Food was good but small portions. Waite staff didn't give a hoot if you were even there. Our particular waiter was very unattentive during the whole lunch and we had to wait quite some time to get our check. I was there in the 90s and loved the place but now it looks like the place is on the skids.
Is anyone at the wheel anymore? – It pains me to write this, because my wife and I used to come here fairly frequently (even bringing guests), and the food never disappointed. Lately, however, both the food and service have slipped precipitously. A BLT showed up as one pathetic slice apiece of B, L and T, served between two pieces of dry toast. Servers sometimes forget drink orders. The chef and/or manager are not always on premises -- perhaps the owner is paying more attention to the newer eatery Veranda these days? Or are there simply too many items on the menu, and the kitchen staff is losing focus? Mesa Hills needs to get its act together in a serious way, or they'll soon lose whatever customer base they have left. It's a shame, but nobody here seems to care anymore.
How do they keep the doors open? – Our experience was so bad, we couldn't help but laugh. I ordered a couple of different martinis, but the bar was out of at least one ingredient to make the drink. When we tried to order dinner, the waiter told us they were out of all beef and alfredo sauce. I ordered crab stuffed mushrooms, my husband had chicken enchiladas. Mine was very fishy and not edible what so ever. My has husband's was not much better, but the service was so slow, at this point he would have eaten anything. The owner came by and did adjust tab for one entree. We did have a passbook coupon, which gave us a free entree anyway. He didn't seem to care much one way or another if the food was bad. We went to Taco Bell on the way home, which hit the spot.
Slow Slow Slow – Went to dinner on a Monday night around 7:30pm and were one of only 3 tables sitting in the restaurant. The server was great, however the food service is EXTREMELY slow. Starters - a cup of black bean soup and "Shrimp on Ice". It came out 30 minutes later, the soup was lukewarm, and the "Shrimp on Ice" was embarrassing - it consists of small (51-60 count or so) shrimp, peeled, on ice from their ice machine. Some fall down into the water, the presentation is sloppy, and it's simply not worth the $5.99 for a dozen. The only upside is that they probably put 15-18 shrimp on the plate. We both ordered salads, which were ok. However we did ask for a side of ranch dressing, and the waiter said he would check but that they had run out of ranch A FEW DAYS AGO. Sure enough, no ranch.
slow and red – Maybe there were more people than they usually get, but service was slow around 6pm on Sunday night when I went. Maybe a new chef? We waited about 50 minutes for food at which point I was very hungry. Finally food showed up. I ordered steak diane, my boyfriend ordered quail in some sauce. The steak would have been okay if it weren't so red. I ordered medium well and I received medium rare. I think the chef was new (?) because the people sitting next to us also got a rarer steak than they would have liked. I didn't send it back though, because I was afraid I would have to wait another 30 minutes! I ended up giving half my steak to my boyfriend and eating half his quail. I like the place, but the slow service and uncooked meat will probably keep me from going back.
Friendly Tex Mex joint where everyone seems to know each other. – In Short
The classic neighborhood restaurant and bar, Mesa Hills grills up Tex-Mex specialties for a devoted group of regulars who bring a steady stream of newcomers with them. A lot of eating, but even more hanging out is done at this joint. Mesa Hills puts an emphasis on health, with lots of vegetarian choices available along with classic Tex-Mex dishes. And the regulars always have a story to tell.
great food, great variet – I loved the Avocado Supreme, which had chicken salad on pasta. The pasta part was rather confusing, but, I have nothing against it. My motto is Save Room for Dessert.
The dessert I selected was tortilla strips with cinammon and honey. It tasted bitter to me, greasy to another diner.
Where everybody knows you name... – Mesa Hill is a nice little place. Excellent food, wounderful wait staff and the best bar menu. Never to busy and you feel welcome every single time...
Great place to hang out – After getting off a late shift, Mesa Hills caters to people in the food service industry. Sam the manager is great as was as Carlile (sorry for the wrong spelling) the bartender. The food is also very excellent for the price. You pay about $6.95 for a filet mignon. Drinks are also brought to us promptly. Of course this place is not for everyone as you can tell by the comments of the ones that wouldn't mention their screen name. If you are looking for a place to unwind after work, I would highly recommend Mesa Hills Cafe.

This Day Cake Topper Style 63600
This item is available online only. *
This breathtakingly gorgeous cake topper quotes a verse from Shakespeare, "This Day I will marry my friend, the one I laugh with, live for, dream with, love."
This Day Cake Topper Style 63600 7 8
I fell in love! This is such a lovely cake topper. The picture does not do justice to the actual color. It's got a light, very pretty shimmer to the dress of the bride. The rhinestones are well placed, and don't look like cheap dollar store rhinestones. It will give any cake a little extra elegance. February 22, 2014
Gorgeous Topper! I received this topper two days before it was supposed to come in, which was wonderful! I was expecting it to be a lot bigger for some reason and was worried that it wouldn't fit on our cake, but it actually is so precious and delicate! It can definitely fit on our cake instead of just next to it. It is tall though, which will make our small cake look even bigger I feel. The writing is a tiny print, which for me is perfect since I didn't want a bulky written message. It's absolutely darling! November 14, 2013
Gorgeous topper This topper is so beautiful and will last a lifetime even after the wedding. Looks stunning and sleek on top of a wedding cake. Inscribed with a lovely quote that takes a deep meaning to my heart. This is also the most cost efficient that I've found it at! Thank you DavidsBridal for having this available!! August 2, 2013

Great sushi place is hard to find. – Honba sushi is by far the best I've had in the area. I usually get the combination dinner with teriyaki of some sort. The teriyaki is char-grilled and it tastes really good. The salad dressing is great. The sushi, especially the catepillar and rainbow rolls, is fresh and you get a big serving for the price. The service is good, they are friendly people.

Michael R. Lynch and David H. Troob Join Clark Art Institute Board of Trustees
For Immediate Release
April 03, 2002
Michael R. Lynch of Lenox and New York, NY, and David H. Troob of Williamstown, New York, NY, and Irvine, CA, have been appointed trustees of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA. Both Lynch and Troob joined the 16-member volunteer board at the trustees' winter meeting in February. The trustees work with the director and staff of the Clark to oversee the advancement of the Institute's dual mission as a public museum and center for research and higher education.
The Clark recently selected Pritzker prize-winning architect Tadao Ando to design its new facility, part of a master plan for the expansion and enhancement of its campus. The Clark's new building, scheduled to break ground in 2004, will be Ando's first museum project set within a rural American landscape. The 85,000 square-foot building will include new gallery space to exhibit more of the Clark's growing collection, particularly American art and decorative arts, as well as improved special exhibition galleries and visitor services such as orientation, shop, and restaurant. The new facility will also support the continued growth of the Institute's seminal research and academic programs, which stand among the foremost in the country, and house the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.
Lynch is a managing director of Goldman, Sachs, & Co. and a member of that firm's Investment Banking Division. He is also a trustee of Rice University in Houston and a member of the board of directors of Good Shepherd Services, a New York based social services agency.

Troob and Company, a New York investment banking limited partnership. Troob's non-profit work includes his membership on the board of directors of the Orange County Performing Arts Center, the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, and on the chief executive roundtable at the University of California, Irvine.

The Clark
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is one of the country's foremost art museums and also a dynamic center for research and higher education in art history and criticism. The Clark's exceptional collections of Old Master, Impressionist, and 19th-century American art on display in the museum's intimate galleries are enhanced by the beauty of its 140-acre setting in the Berkshires. The Clark is also recognized for its special exhibitions, such as the recent Impression: Painting Quickly in France, 1860-1890, which concurrently advance critical thought and generate popular interest in the arts. The Institute is one of only a few art museums in the U.S. that is also a major research and academic center, with an international fellowship program and regular conferences, symposia, and colloquia, and an important art research library. The Clark, together with Williams College, jointly sponsors one of the nation's leading M.A. programs in art history, which has been part of the professional development of a significant number of directors of art museums, curators, and scholars. The Clark's Fellows and conference programs draw university and museum professionals from around the world to pursue research and share new scholarship. The Institute encompasses one of the most comprehensive art history libraries in the world. The Clark also is home to the Williamstown Art Conservation Center, which serves more than 50 institutions in the region and also provides professional training in art conservation.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Whats the GIFT? G stands for gratitude. I stands for inspiration. F stands for family and friends. T stands for triumph. Add them up and they make a gift worth having -- and not just for teens.

You want to accomplish something great. You want to make a real difference in your life and in the lives of others. Secretly you wonder -- arent we here on earth to accomplish something more? You feel shy to talk about these issues, yet you wonder -- are you the only one?
Believe it or not, you are not alone.
How reassuring! When youre not alone, and when you have Roiza Weinreich and a hundred teens just like you helping smooth out the rough spots, you can feel the warm sun over your shoulder and a smile erases the furrows on your brow.
Its great life -- it really is -- as you turn the uplifting, friendly, practical pages of this book. The best part about it is that its co-authors are all ordinary teenagers, like you. They challenged and overcame discouraging situations and attitudes -- and so can you!

Las Vegas Sands brings a touch of Venice to the US and China.
Replete with gondoliers and a replica of the Rialto Bridge, the
company's Venetian Las Vegas Hotel, Resort & Casino offers a
120,000-sq.-ft. casino and a 4,000-suite hotel, as well as a
shopping, dining, and entertainment complex. Through its
majority-owned Sands China subsidiary, the firm operates The
Venetian Macau on the Cotai Strip (the Chinese equivalent of
the Las Vegas Strip), as well as two other properties
in Macao. Properties also include the Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore and the partially-owned Sands Bethlehem in Bethlehem,
Geographic Reach
The company's 70%-owned Sands China subsidiary consist of three
casinos in Macao, the only place in China where casinos are
legal. These properties include the Sands Macau,
the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel Casino, and the Four Seasons
Macau. Elsewhere in Asia, the company's Marina Bay Sands in
Singapore opened in 2010 at a total cost of about $5.5 billion. In
the US, additional Las Vegas properties include The Palazzo Casino
next door to the Venetian, and the nearby Sands Expo Center trade
show and convention center. Another US property is its Sands
Casino Resort Bethlehem in Pennsylvania.
Financial Performance
Consolidated net revenues were $11.13 billion for the fiscal
2012, an increase of $1.72 billion compared to the $9.41 billion
the company claimed in revenues for fiscal 2011. The increase was
driven by $1.05 billion of net revenues at Sands Cotai Central and
increases of $408.2 million and $210.8 million at Four Seasons
Macao and The Venetian Macao, respectively.
Las Vegas Sands is in the middle of a major growth
initiative, with several projects in various stages of development.
The company's $4.1 billion expansion plan for its Macao operations
includes a new resort complex, Sands Cotai
Central, that will house hotels under brands such as Sheraton
and St. Regis. Construction is being completed in phases, with
certain operations to be opening in 2012 and 2013. Driven
by its success in Macao and Singapore, in 2011 Las
Vegas Sands completed a major expansion at its Sands
Casino Resort Bethlehem. Included in the remodel was the addition
of a hotel, retail space, and an entertainment center.
Despite these ambitious expansion plans abroad and at home in
Pennsylvania, the company remains cautious in Las
Vegas. A challenging economic environment caused Las Vegas
Sands in 2009 to halt construction of a high-rise residential
condominium tower located next to The Venetian. The
company has reported that construction will resume
when conditions improve and demand for condos on the Strip
Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and trusts for his
family own about 55% of Las Vegas Sands.
