Haven see off the Zebras
Published at 12:04, Thursday, 29 November 2012
WORKINGTON'S descent from play-off contenders to mid-table strugglers continued with a fourth straight defeat in North Lancs Cumbria, writes John Walsh.
The Zebras went down 15 -12 to Whitehaven at The Ellis and it doesn't get any easier as they visit leaders Wigton on Saturday.
After only four minutes some fine Whitehaven scrimmaging resulted in the ball going out to Luke Scott, who stormed away into the corner for an unconverted try.
This woke up the home side and on 13 minutes they scored their own unconverted try as Dion Seath broke clear and laid the ball off to Connor White. He made no mistake in crossing for the score.
Whitehaven were now back-pedalling as Workington continued to bombard their 22, especially with White and Seath covering every blade of the pitch. On 23 minutes they took the lead when a series of intense scrums culminated with David Bowe scrambling over the line for a hard-earned try, which Mike Fearon smoothly converted.
Both sides had try scoring opportunities during the remainder of the first half, but a combination of poor handling and clumsy knock-ons meant that none were taken.
A penalty eight minutes into the second half by replacement Stephen McCourt reduced the deficit and suddenly Whitehaven began to step up a gear as they probed their hosts' rearguard at every turn.
However, within five minutes they found themselves 13 men down as first McCourt (high tackle) and then Callum Rowlandson (obstruction) incurred the referee's wrath and were sin binned.
This gave Zebras the chance to regain the advantage, but amazingly, they could not find a way past the visitors' resolute defence and they began to get irritated and anxious in equal measure.
With McCourt and Rowlandson back on, Whitehaven looked the team most likely to score and two minutes from time, did just that when centre Craig Hodgson sprinted down the middle and though brought down, managed to get the ball away to McCourt. He hacked-on and the ball was picked up by Scott, who sauntered in unchallenged to score what turned out to be the winning try. McCourt ensured victory with his conversion.
Hodgson impressed throughout for Whitehaven while McCourt's tactical kicking in the second-half was impeccable. Flanker Mark Lancaster was the pick of the forwards.
Egremont stay rooted to the foot of the table after a 52-6 defeat at Eccles.
The club is looking for a new coach as well, as Rodger Temple has stepped down, although not because of the string of results. It is something that has been in the pipeline for three months.
Eccles led 19-6 at half-time as Egremont held their own against a much bigger pack. The home side scored three tries, two of which were converted, while Liam Nicholls replied with two penalties for the visitors.
In the second-half, however, Egremont tired and Eccles used their strength and power to pull well clear, scoring five more tries and converting four of them.
St Benedict's put up a gutsy effort at second-placed Aldwinians before they went down 15-3.
Player coach Ian Maguire described it as the best display by Benny's on their travels at this level.
They had travelled to Droylsden without nine regular first-teamers and a number of players being thrown in with just limited second team experience.
They had to play with 14 men for the last 45 minutes after Maguire was sent-off, retaliating to an elbow in the face.
They had taken the lead with a penalty from Jamie Doran and although Aldwinians levelled with a penalty of their own, it was Benny's who dominated the game.
Ryan Fisher and Daniel Appleton were both held-up near the home line while Kyle Hiddlestone put-in Russ Anderson but he was knocked into touch close to the corner flag.
Turning point came late in the half when Gavin Maudling was sin-binned and soon afterwards Maguire was shown a straight red. From that play Aldwinians scored an unconverted try to lead 8-3 at the break.
It looked menacing when they added another unconverted try soon after the restart but then Benny's knuckled down to defend superbly. The back row of Steve Nelson, Gavin Maudling and Gordon Maudling tackled everything that moved.
In fact they finished strongly and were close to grabbing what would have been a deserved bonus point. Doran broke away but Aldwinians just got back to nail him three yards short of the line.

Emmy Rossum attended the New York City screening of the new Disney movie Oz the Great and Powerful, starring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams. The Shameless actress looked ready for spring in a floral fifties-inspired dress by Oscar de la Renta. Rossum, who has a new album coming out this year (who could forget her moving performance as Christine in the hit musical movie The Phantom of the Opera), looked delightfully sweet in the short sleeve frock, which she paired with two toned green pumps.

Hamilton gave up her privacy on Thursday when she entered the secure property in London for the programme, alongside other famous faces including former The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
Following the show's launch, the property was divided in two, and Hamilton was among the contestants confined to a dank basement with no windows and no running water - but she was chastised by TV bosses for likening the house to a Nazi concentration camp.
She was put up for eviction by her fellow contestants on Sunday, and Hamilton threatened to pack her bags and quit the series during a rant to cameras in the Diary Room.
The star raged: "Can you bring my suitcases up please? I'm leaving. You've completely broken me. This was a chance for me to get my life back on track... and you've sabotaged me the whole way along.
"I just feel totally broken, I want to go home. I was really into helping you make this a great show but you've just sabotaged me, because you've completely taken away my dignity and my trust. You've broken me. Congratulations."
Hamilton eventually decided to remain in the house, and declared: "I'm staying but I won't be close to the women in the house."
Hamilton, Pratt and Montag, as well as jockey Frankie Dettori, are nominated for the first eviction, which will take place on Wednesday.

The Dayton House is a series of hotels and efficiencies on beach row in Myrtle Beach. The location was perfect for our soccer tryouts for the Myrtle Mutiny Soccer Team. The beach front area with tables, chairs and umbrellas is lovely with wandering pathways between the hotels. The series of pools and jacuzzis are great. The rooms are clean and well maintained, the kitchenette is great for all your snacks and food. They had a coffee maker, toaster, microwave, full size refrigerator, stove with oven, some pots and pans and dishes ( although our room did not have silverware ) The free parking is under the hotel or across the street. I am sure it may get hard to find parking in the summer months. Overall, this resort provided more value for the cost. It is worth paying for the semi ocean view. From your balcony you have a great view of the ocean. For the lower price you could end up across the street. We would definitely use this resort again!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- At the Dayton House Resort, a Myrtle Beach Hotel, we strive to provide our guests a relaxed, uncrowded, family atmosphere. We have over an acre of oceanfront lawn filled with yellow umbrella covered personal picnic tables. Each table has four chairs and two lounges, creating a wonderful beach front setting for our couples and families. Add to this another acre of oceanfront pools and decks, including Myrtle Beach's first walk-in, overflow swimming pool, an indoor pool, an indoor-outdoor pool, three indoor and outdoor hot tubs, a kiddie pool and a lazy river, and you will understand why guest have been returning to the Dayton House for over forty years. ... more less

Cozy and comfortable haven!
We have had a most relaxing week here. Superb sunny weather everyday. And such a wonderful environment. The cabin has been a cozy and comfortable haven for us all. Thank you. It was so worth the trip over from Australia!
Wonderful House and Great Location
This was a great house, great location, and great price. This house was big enough to hold 11 of us on our family vacation (4 adults and 7 kids) very comfortably. The location was great, only a few minutes drive to the lake and the market. The house was filled with kitchen cooking supplies, comfy couches, and comfy beds (very comfy beds). The sauna and hot tub were also an amazing ammenity that made our trip even more relaxing. I will definitely be recommending this rental house to my friends and family.
Adorable South Lake Tahoe Chalet
We rented this 2 bedroom w/loft for Memorial Day weekend 2014 and we had an amazing time! The chalet was just enough space for us, and we were able to include our pups, as well. The location is perfect, only minutes away from many restaurants and heavenly resort. The community also offers a pool, which our friends took advantage of. The large deck is great to relax and have a BBQ. The accommodations were top notch and we couldn't have had a better time. Thank you again, Carina!

Disclosed is a cap plug for a balloon which includes a body mounted on a mouth portion of a balloon, an attachment connected to the body through a detachable connecting means and a yarn for connecting the body and the attachment. The connecting means has four outwardly directed engaging pawls provided on the body and an engaging groove provided in the attachment and engageable with the engaging pawls. The desired connection is achieved by moving each of the engaging pawls into the corresponding engaging groove, and relatively rotating the attachment and the body to bring the engaging pawl into firm engagement with the engaging groove. The engagement between the body and the attachment is released by rotation thereof in a direction opposite to that when they are connected.

said engaging means having a cut guide having a configuration in coincidence with said engaging pawl, and an engaging groove wherein said engaging pawl is within said cut guide, said body is rotated relatively to said attachment whereby said engaging groove engages said engaging pawls to connect said body and said attachment each other; and
a length of thread having a predetermined length one end of which is secured to said body and the other end secured to said attachment.
2. The cap plug as set forth in claim 1, wherein four outwardly directed engaging pawls are provided.
3. The cap plug as set forth in claim 1, wherein said body and said attachment respectively have an annular outer collars which are faced to each other and in contact with each other in the state where they are connected each other in a predetermined relation.
4. The cap plug as set forth in claim 1, wherein said attachment includes a first and a second joint members at an opposed position on the outer peripheral surface thereof, said joint members being engaged with each other in such a manner that they may be separated when being pulled apart.
5. The cap plug as set forth in claim 4, wherein said first joint is in the form of a ring, and said second joint is in the form of a hook engageable with said ring.
6. The cap plug as set forth in claim 5, wherein said ring has a slit for facilitating the disengagement of said hook being engaged with said ring.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a cap plug provided with a check valve, which is mounted on a toy or a balloon for advertisement interiorly sealed with gases such as air, hydrogen or helium, and more particularly to a cap plug having a construction suitable for an automatic supplying machine or a vending machine for balloons.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A conventional cap plug construction of this kind is shown in FIG. 7.
In FIG. 7, a reference numeral 1 designates a rubber balloon body and 2 designates a cap plug. The cap plug 2 is composed of a cylindrical closed-end cap body 3 pressed into a mouth portion of the balloon body 1 through a check valve and vent hole 4, and a hanging and exhibiting guide and grip portion 5 provided integrally with an open leading edge of the body 3 through a connecting member 15 that may be cut off by means of a cutter. An annular rib 6 is formed integrally with the outer periphery on the front end of the body 3. The rib 6 causes the mouth portion of the rubber balloon 1 to be pressed into engagement to prevent the mouth portion from being slipped out.
The guide and grip portion 5 has an annular spool groove 7 formed in the outer periphery in the neighbourhood of the separable connecting member 15 and an annular guide groove 8 formed in the outer periphery at a position adjacent to the spool groove 7.
A length of thread 9 is wound about the spool groove 7 to provide a linkage between the body 3 and the guide and grip portion 5.
In the conventional constrcution of the cap plug as described above, the body 3 is pressed into the mouth portion of the balloon body 1, and the end of the mouth portion is brought into engagement with the annular rib 6 of the body 3. In this state, the guide groove 8 of the guide and grip portion 5 is slidably fitted and held between parallel guide rails 10 (see FIG. 4) provided on the vending machine thereby to hang a plurality of balloons 1 adjacent to each other within the vending machine.
When the balloons are supplied, a gas injecting nozzle is automatically inserted into the body 3 to inject a compressed gas. The gas is then injected into the body 1 through the vent hole 4 of the body 3 whereby the body 1 in inflated to a predetermined volume. When pressure is released, the inner surfaces of the balloon block the vent hole 4 to prevent the gas from being excaped.
Next, the connecting member 15 between the body 1 and the guide and grip portion 5 is automatically cut and separated by a cutter provided on the vending machine to be supplied to an outlet.
In the conventional construction of the cap plug, the body 3 and the guide and grip portion 5 are of an integral construction through the separable connecting member 15. When the balloons are supplied or sold, the connecting member 15 has to be automatically cut otherwise the body 1 cannot be separated from the guide and grip portion 5. This leads to a problem that sales of balloons is merely made by a specific vending machine provided with an automatic cutter, and for example, the balloons cannot be sold in bulk at stores.
This invention has been accomplished in order to solve the problem noted above. An object of the invention is to provide a cap-plug constructin of a balloon which can be easily separated without cutting the cap plug body and the guide and grip portion.
In a cap plug of a balloon according to this invention, a cylindrical closed-end cap-plug body having a vent hole in the peripheral wall and a guide and gripping attachment having a hanging guide groove in the outer periphery are individually formed, a plurality of outwardly directed engaging pawls are integrally formed on the open end edge of said cap plug body, and said attachment includes an annular engaging groove along the inner peripheral surface and a cut guide portion partly connected to the annular engaging groove and from which said pawl is disengaged whereby the cap plug body and the attachment may be connected by means of a length of thread.
According to the present invention, the cap plug body is pressed into the mouth portion of a balloon, the outwardly directed engaging pawl of the attachment is fitted into the annular engaging groove of the cap plug body through the cut guide portion, after which when the attachment is rotated, the engaging pawl is displaced from the cut guide portion and fitted in and engaged with the annular engaging groove.
When the balloons are set in the vending machine in the aforesaid state, the guide groove in the outer periphery of the attachment is slidably fitted in and held by the guide rail of the vending machine.
When the balloons are sold, the gas injecting nozzle is automatically inserted into the cap plug body, and the gas is injected from the nozzle into the balloon to inflate the rubber balloon to a predetermined volume. Then, the balloon is supplied to the outlet of the vending machine.
When a client turns or rotates the attachment to a position where the outwardly directed engaging pawl of the cap plug body registers with the cut guide portion and pulls out the attachment, the cap plug body is separated from the attachment and the balloon rises.
According to another aspect of the invention, the cap plug having the above-described construction further comprises a pair of joints capable of being connected and separated from each other, said joints being provided at positions where the outer peripheral surfaces of the attachment are opposed. Preferably, one joint has a shape of a ring having a slit whereas the other joint has a hook-like shape engageable with the ring. The hook of the cap plug is engaged with the ring of the other plug arranged adjacent thereto whereby two plugs are connected each other with their axes being substantially parallel. A train composed of a plurality of cap plugs thus connected provides excellent advantages when a number of cap plugs are carried. Furthermore, operation becomes easy to set a predetermined number of plugs to a vending machine. The slit formed in the ring facilitates disengagement of the hook from the ring when two plugs connected each other are separated. Thus, by merely applying a strong pull to the plug from the rail of the vending machine, it is poissible to release connection between said plug and a plug adjacent thereto.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cap plug according to the present invention with its body separated from an attachment;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the cap plug shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B) are respectively side views of the cap plug shown in FIG. 1 with the attachment opposed to the body;
FIG. 4 shows a cap plug supported on the rail of a balloon vending machine;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a further cap plug according to the present invention;
FIG. 6 shows two cap plugs shown in FIG. 5, which are connected with each other; and
FIG. 7 is a crosses sectional view showing a conventional cap plug.
One embodiment of the present invention will be described in connection with FIGS. 1 through 3, in which elements of the same as or corresponding to those of prior art are indicated at the same reference numerals, and the same arrangement as that of prior art will not be described.
A cap plug body 1 integrally formed into a closed-end cylindrical configuration from a synthetic resin has in its outer peripheral surface on the open end side an annular outer collar 11 and an annulr rib 6 positioned in the vicinity of the collar 11. The body 3 is further provided with a vent hole 4 in the peripheral wall thereof.
The body 3 is integrally formed in its open edge at the front end thereof with a plurality of, for example, four outwardly directed engaging pawls 12 in a predetermined spaced relation.
A substantially cylindrical attachment serving as a guide and a grip is formed separately from the body 3 from the same synthetic resin as that of the body 3.
The attachment 5 is detachably fitted into and engaged with the body 3. The attachment 5 includes a second outer collar 16 face to the outer collar 11 of the body 3 when the attachment is fitted, an annular spool groove 7 formed on the front portion of the outer collar 16 and a hanging guide groove 8 formed at a position adjacent to the groove 7.
The attachment 5 is formed with an engaging groove 13 along the inner peripheral surface, and a cut guide portion 14 along the groove 13. The pawl 12 is inserted into and removed from the guide 14.
The body 3 and the attachment 5 are cooperated by a length of thread 9, which is wound in the groove 7 of the attachment 5.
The body is pressed into a mouth portion of a rubber balloon 1, and the outwardly directed engaging pawl 2 of the attachment 5 is fitted into the engaging groove 13 of the body 3 through the guide portion 14. Therefter, the attachment 5 is rotated. Then, the pawl 12 is displaced from the guide portion 14 and fitted into and engaged with the groove 13.
In this state, the balloon may be set in a conventional vending machine. In this case, the guide groove 8 in the outer periphery of the attachment 5 is slidably fitted in held by the guide rail 10 of the vending machine (FIG. 4).
When the balloon is sold, a gas injecting nozzle (not shown) is inserted into the body 3 through the attachment 5. The gas is injected from the nozzle into the balloon 1 to inflate the rubber balloon 1 to a predetermined volume. Then the balloon 1 is supplied to the outlet of the vending machine. This operation is automatically made in response to the charging of a coin.
After the balloon with a cap plug has been removed from the vending machine, the client rotates the attachment about one forth (1/4) to a position where the pawl 12 of the body 3 registers with the guide portion 14. When the attachment is pulled out, the body 3 is separated from the attachment 5 to raise the rubber balloon 1. Preferably, it is designed so that the pawl 12 and the groove 13 are detachably pressed and engaged with each other by rotating the attachment 5 relative to the body 3, for example, one forth (1/4) in a one direction, which means is obvious for those skilled in the art.
Where a plurality of cap plugs are set in a row on the guide rail of the vending machine as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the plugs are connected with one another in the form of a train because a transportation and an operation of setting balloons to the vending machine are facilitated. This invention provides a cap plug provided with a means for connection as described above.
Referring to FIG. 5, a cap plug composed of a body 3 and an attachment 5 having substantially the same structure as those shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 further includes a set of joint members 20 and 30 which are integrally formed at a position where outer peripheral edges of an outer collar 16 are opposed. The first joint member 20 is substantially in the form of a rectangular ring, and has an annular discontinuous slit 21 at a portion most away from the outer collar 16. The second joint member 30 is in the form of a hook having a dimension that may be engaged with the first joint member 20. The second joint member 30 engages the first joint member 20 adjacent thereto as shown in FIG. 6 whereby two cap plugs arranged so that axes thereof are substantially in parallel with each other may be connected together. All the adjacent cap plugs are connected in a manner similar to that described above, a train is formed in which a desired number of cap plugs are disposed in a row.
The slit 21 formed in the first joint member 20 is enlarged to the size so that when mutually connected two cap plugs are strongly pulled apart, the first joint 20 is deformed and the second joint 30 may be passed. Thereby the connection between the joint members 20 and 30 is released. Such a pull-apart force required to release the connection has a magnitude imparted by a mechanism wherein the vending machine causes the foremost cap plug to be advanced along the guide rail.

- Happy Hour 3-closeILoveFoodDined on 11/18/2014The intent for this dinner was for Dine Around Seattle. However, we were seated in the bar and realized that happy hour was 3p - close. We (there were 4 of us) got one of everything off of the happy hour menu and there was not one bad dish. Every plate was season perfectly, presented artistically and we left more than satisfied! Service was great. Ambience was great. We had a great time and have already planned to go back again. Highly Recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/14/2014The food was amazing but we were shocked at the poor level of service we received. No explanation of menu, long wait times between server checking in and taking our order, a major issue with my drink ( served in chipped cracked glass and it took 20 minutes to get it back after I told the waitress) and finally she was more than ready to turn over our table.Special Features:
- mamakDined on 11/8/2014The food is always terrific here and at the Capital Hill location, but East is a bit too noisy for my taste (at least it was on a Saturday night).

- Top-Flight Dining ExperienceMiamidinerDined on 10/13/2014On our last night visiting Seattle we treated good friends to a dinner out. Monsoon East was FANTASTIC! After the noisy group we were seated next to left the noise level actually became quiet in the overall restaurant. The food was exquisitely prepared and presented and was very tasty. We enjoyed everything, but especially the Banana Cake dessert which was truly to die for!

I've gone to Monsoon with people who hadn't been there before and it's always been well received as a really good little local restaurant.Special Features:
- Memorable experience.OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 10/3/2014You know how once in a while you eat something that is so good you remember it for 20 years? The pork shank was that good. Their current menu isn't up to date, but it appeared that the pork was braised and then lightly breaded and then quick fried. The result was a melt in your mouth tender pork with a super crispy skin. The whole shebang was glazed with some sort of tamarind? sauce. The result was magic. The rest of the meal ranged from really good to fantastic as well. Everything is extremely fresh and vibrant. The service was friendly and efficient. All in all, the whole experience was fantastic and I recommend this place to anyone who likes Vietnamese inspired food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food in BellevueOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 9/30/2014I was very pleased to find such great food in Bellevue, being a Seattle snob.

I highly recommend it!Special Features:
- Nice happy hourbobkapDined on 9/12/2014We came by Monsoon for Happy Hour and had lots of different items.

- Wonderful time at Monsoon EastOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 7/26/2014Took my step-mother out for her 86th birthday. We ordered the nectarine salad (unique and wonderfully tasty), the imperial rolls (perfect as usual), the drunken chicken (cooked just right with a nice touch of a sauce), and the catfish in a clay pot (fairly generous in size and the sauce went perfectly with our brown rice). We finished the evening off with their banana cake, which is served slightly differently than the Capitol Hill location, but wonderful all the same. We consistently have outstanding food and above average service when dining at one of the Monsoons. Monsoon East is an understated gem in old town Bellevue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Bellevue and Seattle locations are beautiful - I have some food sensitivities and the wait staff was so helpful in both locations. Really went the extra mile to make sure everything worked and made substitutions easily. Plus, the food is delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Drive to Capitol HillWhineOJoeDined on 6/21/2014Having been going to the Capitol Hill location for years now I was hopeful that the Bellevue location would be as good or better. Unfortunately, it is not. The staples that were on the menu from the original location, the drunken chicken, steak, empire roles were just as good as Capitol hill. However, there were many notable things not on the menu. Mainly the coconut creme desert and the Monterey squid, their two single best dishes. Finally, the wine list in Capitol hill has always been amazing. The wine list in Bellevue was a massive disappointment. Overpriced burgundies ($110 for an 08 beaune 1 cru?) and not a single french Bordeaux when the '09s and '10s are in their prime.Special Features:
- Slow serviceEyshaVIPDined on 6/21/2014the food was delicious as always, but the service was extremely bad this time around. It took forever for our server to get to us to place our order. Then we watched as tables that were there after us got their food while we waited and waited. Then my friend got her plate, but I had to wait some more. She was half way done with her meal by the time I got mine and that's when we got the appetizer/small plate. We got so tired of waiting that we decided to skip dessert because we knew it was going to be another hour ordeal. I've always been here for happy hour and it has been great. This is the first time that I've been to this restaurant for lunch on a weekend and I have to say the service was disappointing.Special Features:
- Excellent food, decent servicebobkapDined on 6/20/2014We've been to Monsoon on both sides of the lake many times. The food is always top notch. We especially like the claypot catfish (which we almost always have) and this time we also had the lamb loin. Both were excellent.

Thought book was very well written, although it was hard to follow in some places.

MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
Work at the Lafayette Boulevard and Blue & Gray Parkway intersection is a sign that the Virginia Central Railway Trail is close to opening.
For months, trail signs around the intersection have been covered with plastic. Fences at the intersection blocked the paved trail and signs warned pedestrians to not cross the highway.
Now, though, crews are installing signals and other equipment designed to help trail users cross the heavily traveled Blue & Gray Parkway, which some consider a safety hazard.
That work should be wrapped up soon, said Doug Fawcett, Fredericksburg's director of public works.
The official opening of the trail's first two sections is slated for Saturday, Sept. 20, at 10 a.m. A short ceremony will be held at the trail's head on Cobblestone Boulevard.
The first two sections of the trail stretch from the Cobblestone apartments and roughly parallel Lafayette Boulevard, cross the Blue & Gray Parkway and wind through Alum Spring Park to the U.S. 1 bypass.
A third section is still under construction. That work will include a pedestrian crossing on U.S. 1 and the installation of a new stop signal, just south of the Idlewild entrance.
The plan was to have that section open in November, but Fawcett said that might be delayed until the spring.
Safety concerns with both crossings, primarily with the Blue & Gray and Lafayette intersection, have delayed the opening of the $3.1 million trail.
The Blue & Gray intersection is one of the worst for collisions in the city, according to the Fredericksburg Police Department.
Since 2011, the intersection has ranked second or third for the most crashes in the city.
Changes at the heavily used intersection are being made with the hope that the trail crossing will be safe.
Pedestrian signals are being installed on both sides of the Blue & Gray.
A traffic signal also is being installed for the right turn lane from Lafayette to westbound Blue & Gray. Currently there is a yield sign there.
With the signal, no right turns on red will be allowed. There will be a "No Turn on Red" sign that illuminates during red lights, Fawcett said.
Another signal change at the intersection will involve traffic making left turns on to the Blue & Gray from Lafayette.
The light currently has a green arrow that becomes a green ball, meaning turning traffic must yield to oncoming through traffic.
The new signal will switch from the green arrow to a yellow flashing arrow. It still means turning traffic must yield to oncoming through traffic.
Crews also will move the white stop-bar lines for traffic on the eastbound lanes of the Blue & Gray to align with the crosswalk.
Fawcett has said he thinks the changes will make the crossing safe.
But he also has said the city will monitor the intersection after the crossing opens.
"We won't know [how well it works] until it's in operation," he said.
City officials considered building a pedestrian bridge at the intersection, but that option eventually was deemed too complicated and expensive.
Scott Shenk: 540/374-5436
WHAT: A 2.7-mile trail running from Essex Street downtown near Cobblestone Square off Lafayette Boulevard to Idlewild subdivision west of U.S. 1.
COST: $3.1 million.
OPENING: The trail's first two sections are scheduled to open Sept. 20.
SECTION 1: From the Cobblestone apartments to the intersection of Lafayette Boulevard and the Blue & Gray Parkway.
SECTION 2: From that intersection, through Alum Spring Park to U.S. 1, where there will be another highway crossing.
SECTION 3: This unfinished section runs from U.S. 1 to the edge of Idlewild; this area of the trail might not open until the spring.
SECTION 4: This section, which has no funding, would run from the edge of Idlewild to Interstate 95.

Three Ripon Indians competed in varsity events during Saturday's Sac-Joaquin Section swimming finals at Tokay High in Lodi, but Sierra's Scott Tolman winning a pair of frosh-soph section titles certainly turned some heads as well.
STOCKTON - They aren't as imposing as Allie Walljasper inside the pitching circle. They don't have the stuff to collect strikeouts by the dozens, nor do they have a spot reserved on an NCAA Division I program.
East Union High will have a special guest for its spring sports awards social tonight.
Manteca could potentially be two wins away from a Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV baseball championship after it knocked off Cosumnes Oaks-Elk Grove 5-2 in the opener of Saturday's best-of-three semifinal series at Lodi's Zupo Field.
STOCKTON - Friday night marked the end of an era for Sierra's softball program.
A banner season for local girls soccer culminates today with three Sac-Joaquin Section championship games at two sites.
STOCKTON – The third inning of Friday's elimination game in Sac-Joaquin Section Division V softball action with Hughson is one Ripon would like to forget.
Manteca and Sierra's baseball squads both won opening round games of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV tournament Thursday.
Ripon's Zach Scudder and Corey Winter both qualified for today's Sac-Joaquin Section swimming finals at Tokay High in Lodi.
STOCKTON - It's no big secret that Allie Walljasper has carried the load for Sierra this season.
LODI – Fortunately, for Sierra, its bats were hot early as the Timberwolves withstood five seventh-inning runs by Ceres and defeated the Bulldogs 9-6 in first-round action of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV baseball playoffs at Zupo Field.
STOCKTON – Caleb Rogers laced up his cleats and went to work Thursday during the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division V baseball tournament under near triple-digit temperatures.
Emma Lewis is officially the last girls' varsity swimmer still alive this season.
When she was little, on the cusp of becoming a Division I-caliber player, Isela Rivera's father would keep the budding young striker reaching and wanting and hungry with the Three Bs speech.
ELK GROVE – Katie Lock and Lejla Pepic tallied a goal and an assist apiece during Manteca's 4-1 victory over Cosumnes Oaks in the semifinals of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III tournament Wednesday.
The Manteca and East Union volleyball teams split their first two sets Wednesday before the visiting Lancers atoned for an earlier season sweep and pulled away to win the next two for a 25-21, 24-26, 25-22, 25-17 win in Valley Oak League action at Winter Gymnasium.
East Union co-head coaches Brian Goulart and Dennis Wells figured this was the year that the Lancers' run of championships in the Sierra Invitational would end.
The hardest part of the schedule is over for Ripon's football team.
Manteca and Oakdale entered Wednesday's Valley Oak League soccer contest tied in the standing, and the Mustangs escaped Guss Schmiedt Field with a 5-2 victory and sole possession of second place.
Manteca is on a three-match winning streak after thumping Kimball 8-1 in Tracy on Wednesday.
TRACY - Mahir Pepic and Haley Silva won the varsity boys and girls races without much of a challenge in the second Valley Oak League cluster meet Tuesday at Eagal Lakes.
Rich Posz hoped that his East Union volleyball team's upset of Oakdale last Thursday would have a carry-over effect in Tuesday's duel with first-place Central Catholic.
RIPON - Thomas Sidtikun scored two goals and assisted on a third Tuesday to help keep defending league champion Ripon in first place in the Trans-Valley League with a 3-0 win over Escalon at Stouffer Field.
Brooke Riley looked to be on her way to another outstanding round after a birdie-birdie start in East Union's Valley Oak League match with Sierra on Tuesday.
Elizabeth Tolbert held off East Union's Maddie Yslava to win a hard-earned three-set match and highlighted an 8-1 victory for visiting Manteca on Tuesday.
East Union's game plan was to apply pressure on the Manteca back line from the opening whistle Monday at Guss Schmiedt Field.
With help from East Union, Weston Ranch finds itself comfortably ahead of the pack at the midway point of the Valley Oak League boys soccer season.
Jacqui Uecker collected 12 kills, seven digs, two aces and a block to help Ripon ward off Riverbank 25-12, 10-25, 25-12, 25-16 in a Trans-Valley League volleyball match on Monday.
Manteca kept up a relentless attack from the opening kickoff to the final buzzer Friday and defeated host Lathrop 48-6 in Valley Oak League sophomore action at Bennie Gatto Field.
Manteca swept East Union to open Valley Oak League play.

Messy Church
After much planning and anticipation, we opened the doors for our first Messy Church on Saturday 27th September.
We were delighted to welcome around 30 people during the course of the morning. Many new friends were made. The harvest themed crafts were very popular. We made bird feeders, harvest crowns and planted seeds. Our group project was a prayer tree, which has been on display in the Church.
After all the messy fun, we gathered in Church where we were led in song, worship and story. Our story was a modern take on the parable of the sower, and our songs had lots of fruit and vegetables in.
After such a busy morning, we were ready for lunch!
Everyone enjoyed some tasty soup, bread and cheese followed by fruit, jelly and yoghurts. Many had seconds too! Soon after, it was time to say goodbye.
I would like to say an enormous thank you to all that have helped to make our Messy Church happen. Thank you to those who provided refreshments, lunch, and craft. Thank you to all who helped to move furniture, print posters and plan. Thanks to those who helped with singing, music and worship.

On Wednesday 12th at 2pm we will hear about the effect of World War 1 on Crowthorne, the history of the Lychgate and the background to some of the names written there from Sue McIntosh (of the British Legion and Paul Bevan from the Family History Society.
The Diocesan Winter Meeting will be on 11th at Benson, from 10.15, when the speaker will be Maureen Meatcher from the Union of Catholic Mothers. Everyone is welcome to any of our meetings.

We do hope that as many members as possible will be there to welcome our new members and meet Gillian. We also invite the congregation to coffee and cake after the service.

We now have boxes for the shoe box appeal for Operation Christmas Child. They will be in church for the next few Sundays and we will be accepting filled boxes from now until 23rd November.

The Net
St John's Sunday School will be changing it's name to The Net from the January term and over the next few weeks and months we will be doing activities with the children that support this move. After much deliberation the team that run the junior church felt that the term Sunday School did not reflect the fun and excitement of what we get up to with the children so we wanted a more contemporary name that a move away from the word 'school' would bring.

It doesn't appear to be working. Ask the cop who was pulled in Ohio for doing 150-something on his bike if his being aware of a cop nearby was any kind of deterrent for him.
As far as having a cop ticket himself? come on. Yes, some drive like idiots, I've seen it, probably have done it, and still see it. It happens. A lot goes on that they have to rush to where they aren't allowed to use their overhead lightbars/sirens. A lot. And it can be serious.
No doubt, but EVERY time you see a cop driving or parking like a pinhead? Please. I was a CEVO instructor in Illinois. In that state, one is supposed to operate an emergency vehicle in a safe and responsible manner, regardless of responding to a call or not. RESPONSIBILITY. It starts with the people in power. Otherwise, it's just another form of tyranny.
Re: judges? yes. Corrupt judges and politician fines or sentences should be doubled because we entrust them. No favors for them AT ALL.
You ever seen a prosecutor press charges against themselves? Even the ones that KNOWINGLY withheld evidence that would clear somebody? KNOWINGLY sending an innocent person to DEATH ROW constitutes attempted murder.
