By RICHARD SHAWGeneral manager
While most people dwell on day trips to rock art sites and red rock canyons when they travel around the Castle Country area, sometimes they forget about the great mountain scenery that is nearby. And on a hot summer day some of these areas can give some cool relief.
Reservation Ridge, while located in Duchesne County, is close enough and has a wide area of view over both Carbon and in the distance Emery County. But this is not a Wasatch Plateau Energy Loop drive; it is a pure dirt road with some rough spots over which regular cars shouldn't proceed.
The road across Reservation Ridge can be accessed one of two ways from Carbon County. One way is to travel up Willow Creek Canyon on Highway 191, through the Emma Park/Whitmore Park area, across the county line and up toward the Indian Canyon summit. The turnoff is a short distance before the summit to the left. It is marked by an old real estate sign on a shed. It is about 13 miles from the turnoff in Price Canyon where Highway 191 leaves Highway 6.
Another way to access Reservation Ridge is to turn left from Highway 6 on the Reservation Ridge Road (dirt) that takes off to the right about a half mile south of the vacant service station at Soldier Summit. There is a fork in the road about three-quarters of a mile from the highway, so stay to the right.
Once on the road, when traveling from the Indian Canyon side, follow the main dirt road. Much of the land for the first few miles is private property and is marked as so. This time of year (late June) people are astounded by the wild flowers that exist along the road. This year in particular the Delphiniums make the fields along the road glow blue and purple.
The area is part of the Ashley National Forest so eventually road travelers end up in federal land. One of the first things that appear once out of the private land is the Avintaquin campground which has been closed so far this spring. A spokes person for the Ashley National Forest said on Wednesday that there is no set date for when the campground will open this year. There have been so many fallen trees in the area of the campground, probably due to the heavy snow this past winter, that the forest service has not had time to clean it all up yet or repair damage from them.
Once past the campground, those who take the road will pass through a lot of pine and aspen. The road climbs and climbs and climbs. Sometimes the grade is gentle and other times it is fairly steep. This is a logging area so there are dozens of access roads that take off from the main route as well as a number of forest service roads that are labeled to take the traveler to places like First Canyon and Horse Ridge.
The charm of this drive is the views, the tree enclosed roads and the flowers and more flowers.
For views, as one approaches the half way point between the White River and Indian Canyon, they are more than breath taking. To the north one can see the hills and mountains south of Duchesne and the snow capped Uinta Mountains in the far distance. To the south, the overlook displays Highway 6 and it's meanderings a couple of thousand feet below. Past that one can see the top of the Wasatch Plateau and beyond that Cedar Mountain and other formations in the San Rafael Swell..
The road travels to the point where the vistas are huge and the flowers seem to go on forever. On the top the meadows are filled with wild Forget-me-nots, Phlox and various other flowers. The flora varies because of the altitude (8000-9500 feet).
Taking some of the side roads give a view that is not seen from the main road. A trip toward Horse Ridge reveals much rougher roads, but also trees and flowers in much greater variety and numbers. Throughout the area old corals can be seen where cattlemen once kept there stock.
Wildlife also abounds in the area. A tour of the road can reveal such animals as deer with their young, elk and porcupines, along with other inhabitants of the ridge.
On a cool day in Carbon County it is almost cold near the top of Reservation Ridge. On a warm day in the valley, the top is very pleasant.
The whole circular trip, depending on stops made to catch the views and the condition of the road, can take up to six hours, although it probably could be done in under three or four.
This past winter was a heavy one along the ridge and there is still snow banks along the top. The snow also created a lot of tree falls, some of them across the road. Some of the fallen trees even create arches across the road in places. With the winds from microburst storms that have been in the area lately, it might be a good idea for travelers to take a good saw and tow chain along with the picnic basket in case one of those leaning pines or aspens happens to cross the path of travel.
It's a place not many people go, and it can also give Carbon County residents a whole new view of the country from a different perspective.

We have applied a small follow-up update to address a few issues that arose following our Feb 26th update.
Code Updates:
- Fixed the 'Air Control' Start-a-Match option.
- Fixed the Freeze Tag 'Round Delay 0' Start-a-Match option.
- Fixed the 'Teams are tied at 0' team score message.
- Round based games once again will kick players after 180 seconds of inactivity, but the new code will now accumulate time across rounds, but does not count time dead/froze/paused against them.
- Addressed an issue that would perpetuate telefrags in some round based gametypes, when a map had too few spawn points available.

Yes! In Odessa, Texas at Alliance Hospital, there is a heart bypass procedure unique to all in the United States!
In the first two years after its grand opening in June 2003, Alliance Hospital had already performed the largest volume of robotic cardiac surgical procedures done in a single institution to date.
A group of 11 physicians established Alliance Hospital with the primary purpose of establishing a center of medical excellence.
Can you imagine a heart bypass operation where no human hands ever touch the heart and the chest is never opened as in conventional heart surgery?
The closed-chest, minimally invasive procedure utilizes four fingertip-size incisions on the chest where special robotic instruments are inserted and manipulated remotely by a cardiac surgeon sitting away from the patient. The operation is performed on a beating heart.
The cardiac surgeon sits at a remote console and harvests arteries that run along the inside of the chest to use as grafts for the heart bypass surgery. Most of the time this means no leg wounds!
Because of this approach, most patients are out of the hospital in 24 to 48 hours. They are back to their normal lifestyle without the misery of healing a split sternum and recovery from a stopped heart or heart-lung machine.
Alliance Hospital does heart, orthopedic, vascular, urological, general and specialty surgeries. Interestingly, the insurance companies and Medicare pay on the same basis as for conventional operations.
Suresh Gadasalli, M.D., F.A.C.C., whom I consider highly professional and who devotes time and attention to each patient, treated me.
Sudhir Srivastava, M.D., is a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. He has performed approximately more than 550 robotic assisted surgeries with no heart attacks, strokes or deaths.
Alliance Hospital has been rated number one in the Permian Basin area for overall cardiac care according to a study recently released by HealthGrades®, the nation's leading provider of independent hospital ratings. The study ranked Alliance Hospital among the best hospitals in Texas for cardiology, and it received five-star ratings for the treatment of heart attack and heart failure.
For more information, contact Alliance Hospital in Odessa, Texas. Tell this great health news to everyone you care about!

Long time pastafarian, first time forum user here.
I recently decided that since my high school had a christian club we should also have a pastafarian club. I wrote up an official proposal and gave it to our principal. He said he thought it was stupid and rejected my request. I feel this is an outrage to religious equality and I hope my fellow pastafarians can help me out.
I am going to attach my schools email address as well as phone number anybody who could contact them and express your concern would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

ESPN's College GameDay, which broadcasts from the site of the week's biggest game throughout the season, has made six trips to Eugene since 2007, more than any other college in the country. A search for "Chip Kelly" at any sports website turns up thousands of results just in the past year. There is even a Twitter account, Chipisms, dedicated to republishing his witticisms.
And then there are kids like Adam Bussian.
Bussian is a 16-year-old quarterback at East Chapel Hill High School in North Carolina. The tall sophomore comes from a part of the country that is no slouch when it comes to college sports, and he had never been to Oregon before this fall. Yet he is a huge Ducks fan. His Twitter page is decorated with the yellow University of Oregon "O" logo over a green backdrop. His high-school coach implemented the Oregon "blur" offense three years ago.
"It took some time to get used to, but it was really fun," Bussian says.
Last month, Bussian talked his father into flying the two of them to Oregon to watch the Ducks play Stanford at Autzen Stadium. Although Oregon lost in overtime, 17-14, the visit made an impression on the young player.
"It was amazing, like a trip to the mecca of college football," says Bussian, who slapped an Oregon sticker on the back window of his Jeep Grand Cherokee when he returned home.
Guess where he wants to go to college?
In the 113 years of Oregon football before Kelly became head coach in 2009, the Ducks played in seven major bowl games and had four 10-win seasons. In Kelly's four seasons as head coach, the Ducks have won at least 10 games every year and are headed to their fourth consecutive Bowl Championship Series game. They capped last season with a 45-38 victory over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl—Oregon's first win in the "granddaddy" of bowl games in 95 years.
It's not just winning that has put the Ducks on the map. Kelly's no-huddle, spread-option offense has run roughshod over much of the competition and become one of the most emulated systems in the nation.
This season, all 11 of Oregon's victories have been by double digits. The Ducks' closest margin was a 62-51 win over USC, a game in which Oregon racked up 730 total yards. The points and yardage were each the most the storied Trojans program had ever surrendered.
"It's mind-boggling," said a shell-shocked Monte Kiffin, USC's respected defensive coordinator, after the Nov. 3 game in Los Angeles. "I've never heard of so many yards." Kiffin's reputation never recovered from the defensive debacle. He resigned effective after the season.
Of course, even the most casual fan probably knows Kelly's accomplishments on the field. What they don't know is that Kelly may be one of the biggest paradoxes in college football.
A number of substantial Oregon football boosters, many of whom requested anonymity, expressed a widespread annoyance with Kelly. The coach with the highest winning percentage (45-7, 86.5 percent) among BCS conference coaches is at odds with many of those closest to the Oregon program. Although most would agree Kelly is an extraordinary coach, he doesn't care much for the many other obligations that come with his job.
"Some of the college boosters have gone as far as to say, 'I hope he does leave so we can get somebody who appreciates the fans,'" says Jack Roberts, a former Oregon labor commissioner and Oregon alumnus.
On Jan. 3, Kelly and his Ducks (11-1) will play Kansas State (11-1) in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., a game many assume will be his last at Oregon. A presumed jump to the National Football League would leave Kelly with the legacy of a college coach who rebelled against the way the game is played—both on the field and off.
Kelly, 49, lives in a new house on the remote, northern edge of Eugene. The lawn is immaculately maintained. The hedges are well-trimmed. There are no flower beds. The rock- and wood-sided house looks fresh out of the box.
The home, where Kelly lives alone, has little furniture other than a big-screen TV.
Kelly declined to speak with WW for this story.
The son of a lawyer, Kelly grew up in Manchester, N.H. After earning a bachelor's degree in physical education from the University of New Hampshire, Kelly started his coaching career as an assistant at Columbia University in 1990. He coached defensive backs and special teams, earning an annual salary of $4,000. This season, his base salary is $3.5 million.
After another season coaching defense at Columbia, Kelly spent 14 of the next 15 years coaching at New Hampshire, his alma mater, laying the groundwork for his offense. The football junkie frequently took road trips to speak with coaches across the country, testing theories about how to run the spread offense.
"They were always receptive," Kelly told Sports Illustrated in 2009. "Because no one was ever playing New Hampshire."
In 2006, then-Oregon offensive coordinator Gary Crowton consulted Kelly to learn more about the spread offense, a system the Ducks had recently implemented under coach Mike Bellotti. A year later, Kelly replaced Crowton as Oregon's coordinator.
"Under coach Kelly, everything was so fresh and genius that we had complete confidence in our playbook," former Oregon wide receiver Cameron Colvin told fan site FishDuck.com earlier this year. "It changed everything we did on offense."
Bellotti, who resigned as Oregon's coach after the 2008 season to become athletic director, said Kelly brought a new dimension to the Ducks.
"We had a coaching staff that was pretty good at making adjustments after games," Bellotti, now a college football analyst for ESPN, tells WW. "Chip was able to make them during games."
Kelly's "blur" offense marries the spread option pioneered a decade ago by college coaches Rich Rodriguez and Urban Meyer with a speed and tempo heretofore unseen. The offense spreads the defense all over the field and wears it down with a no-huddle attack. Defenses have little time to line up properly, let alone substitute exhausted players. Several teams have resorted to faking injuries just to slow down the Ducks.
Kelly's offense was so intriguing that it drew the interest of Super Bowl-winning coach Jon Gruden, who was offered the Ducks' offensive coordinator position in 2009 after Kelly was promoted to head coach. Gruden, who was not coaching at the time, opted to become an NFL announcer with ESPN.
"I was so eager to learn it, I almost took the job," Gruden told The New York Times in 2010. "My wife said, 'Are you the craziest human being alive, you want to move to Oregon to learn an offense?'"
But when Oregon brought Kelly to Eugene, the athletic department didn't even consider how he would do at the other part of his job.
The role of college football head coach extends far beyond coaching 85 scholarship athletes. It's about mingling with the boosters. It's about being an ambassador for the school. And it's about money.
Football is the only profitable sport within the Oregon athletic department. The football program generated $20.5 million in the 2011 season. Largely on the back of the team's success, the athletic department took in an additional $30.6 million in gifts and donations.
The Oregon football coach brings money to the athletic department, and his obligations extend far beyond the field.
Rich Brooks, Oregon's head coach from 1977 to 1994, was a legendary schmoozer. As was Brooks' successor, Bellotti.
Kelly—not so much.
"As revolutionary as Chip has been on the field with the no-huddle offense, he's been more revolutionary in how he acts toward social functions," says an Oregon booster who requested anonymity. The source said the relationship between Kelly and boosters is strained.
When Kelly began at Oregon as offensive coordinator, his contract included a $50,000 incentive—a third of his $150,000 base salary—to make specific public appearances, which he dutifully made. His current contract makes no mention of any similarly required appearances.
"He's good at talking to people," says Jack Roberts, "but he's not a glad-handing guy."
Dan Dutton, a booster and former walk-on player at Oregon under Rich Brooks, says: "Fundraising and socializing are not his favorite activities."
One of the longtime traditions of being the Oregon football coach is making a weekly trip to Portland during the season to speak to members of the Oregon Club of Portland at the Multnomah Athletic Club. At the luncheon, members watch Ducks highlights and meet with the head coach.
For years, Brooks and then Bellotti made the trek up Interstate 5 every Thursday. The three-hour round trip ate up valuable time in the hectic schedule of a major-college coach. But maintaining a relationship with donors was important.
"I enjoyed selling the program," Bellotti says. "Thankfully, I had a driver take me so I could watch film in the back of the van."
"Mike and Rich used to come every week," Dutton says.
Kelly? Since he's been head coach, he phones it in, appearing on a projector screen and videoconferencing with every Oregon Club across the state simultaneously.
"People prefer to see [the Oregon coach] in person," says Brian Vik, a 30-year Ducks season-ticket holder and member of the Oregon Club. "It comes back to the human element. They got used to something: access to the coach. It changed."
Every June, the Oregon Club hosts a fundraising golf tournament at the Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club in rural Washington County. Boosters gather to play a round while mingling with coaches.
Bellotti was the main attraction when he was coach, although he wasn't much of a golfer. He sometimes found himself playing once or twice a week in May and June, he says, "usually at some fundraiser."
Brooks was the same way. The two never missed the Pumpkin Ridge tournament and fundraiser.
Kelly skipped the golf tournament in 2011, sending assistant coaches instead.
When he did come to the tournament this year, according to several boosters, he didn't mingle and partnered with a small, select group.
"He can walk the course, but golf is definitely not his game." says Don Ossey, who runs the golf tournament. "Football is his passion."
As an Oregon undergrad in 2007, I attended spring practices on April afternoons and wrote the occasional practice report on Ducks-related message boards. It was a time to gauge talent and see which players could fill the roles of departed stars. It was a means for fans to connect with Oregon football in the offseason.
But, starting with Oregon's preparation for the BCS national championship against Auburn in the 2010 season, Kelly closed practices to all but players, coaches and a small group of approved visitors. Spring practice was closed for the first time this year.
Not even Oregon super booster and Nike co-founder Phil Knight can get into practices.
Before the Kelly era, big donors got all-access passes, which gave them the right to walk the sidelines during games, hang out in the locker room and press box, and attend postgame press conferences.
Now, all-access passes are severely limited. Only Knight, former athletic director Pat Kilkenny and a handful of others receive them. Longtime Ducks fans who once hung out on the sidelines when Bellotti was head coach are now relegated to the coaches' upper-deck suite at Autzen Stadium.
(This year, a rule instituted by the Pacific-12 Conference limits the number of non-football personnel allowed on the sidelines during games to 60 per home team.)
And the media? Kelly treats the press like a malignant tumor. He is only available for interviews after practice and after games. He is available to the media whenever he is contractually obligated. But his appearances in these situations are often curt, crisp and threaded with the irritation of a man who views this part of the job as utterly trifling.
"If you approached Bellotti with a frivolous question, he would still go out of his way to try to give you something to work with," says Rob Moseley, who covers Oregon football for The Register-Guard of Eugene. "Chip will not."
A press conference Dec. 7 after Oregon's first practice for the Fiesta Bowl was typical. Wearing his trademark white visor and black-and-green Oregon polo shirt, Kelly fielded questions in his usual rapid-fire manner. He spoke as fast as possible while saying little to the assembled gaggle of reporters.
After he was asked how many NFL teams had contacted him, Kelly snapped, "Not gonna talk about that, and the answer is zero."
When asked a repetitive question, he replied, "Already talked about that, big boy."
The interview was over in nine minutes.
As distant as he is to boosters and as brusque as he is with the media, Kelly is a different person to his players, who laud his ability to communicate complex concepts and schemes. And his relationships with the players goes beyond Xs and Os.
Dennis Dixon was an underachieving quarterback when Kelly was hired as Oregon's offensive coordinator in 2007. He spent that summer before his senior season playing baseball in the Atlanta Braves' farm system, trying to get his mind off football. The decision to play baseball was criticized by the press, fans and even his own coach—Bellotti. But not by his new quarterbacks coach.
Kelly showed up unannounced to one of Dixon's games in Orlando, Fla., just to cheer him on.
"It was a big moment for me," recalls Dixon, now a practice-squad quarterback with the NFL Baltimore Ravens. "I'd never had anyone show that kind of support for me up to that point."
Under Kelly's tutelege, Dixon went on to have an exemplary season for the Ducks until a knee injury ended his run at the Heisman Trophy.
That level of emotional support to his players extends back to the early days of Kelly's coaching career.
Justin Fossbender's grandfather died when he played for Kelly at Columbia. It was the first meaningful death in the young wide receiver's life. Fossbender walked into Kelly's office—even though Kelly was not his position coach—and started crying. Kelly took the grieving player out to get burgers.
"Whatever he was doing, he dropped it if you needed him," Fossbender says.
Whatever happens Jan. 3 in the Fiesta Bowl, the odds are that Kelly will be headed to the NFL. And in some respects, it could be a better place for him.
NFL coaches don't have to play golf with boosters. Or drive to the airport after practice to fly out and eat dinner with a recruit's family. Or worry about the fallout from a lengthy NCAA investigation (which is currently hanging over the Oregon program).
Football coaches only have to worry about coaching football in the NFL.
The team at the next level that most resembles Kelly's style of play is the division-leading New England Patriots, whose coaches met with Kelly in the offseason to learn the secrets of his uptempo offense. New England now leads the NFL in yards per game and plays per game.
And, oddly enough, the longtime coach of the Patriots, Bill Belichick, is somewhat of a doppelgänger for Kelly.
Belichick has prowled the sidelines in a beat-up gray hoodie for the past 13 years with the Patriots, a permanent scowl fixed on his face. He doesn't release injury reports beyond what is required. He is not popular with the Boston-area media.
"He's uncooperative and downright rude unless he's talking about the history of the NFL and football," Joe Sullivan, assistant managing sports editor for The Boston Globe, wrote WW in an email.
For now, Kelly is focused on preparing his team to take on Kansas State. This game looked like the probable national championship matchup midway through the season. Now it looks like Kelly's final hurrah at Oregon.
Boosters may bitch about not getting to play golf with Kelly. The press may take umbrage with the limited access he gives them. In the decades before Kelly arrived, Bellotti and Brooks created expectations for the head football coach at Oregon.
Chip Kelly didn't become the most talked-about coach in the country by doing what was expected.
Coaching With Benefits
Chip Kelly's base salary for this season is $3.5 million, with his contract topping out at $4 million in 2015. The contract offers Kelly a number of performance incentives for such accomplishments as winning the Pac-12 title, playing in the BCS Championship Game, and winning 12 regular-season games. Kelly earned a $50,000 bonus for leading the Ducks to the Fiesta Bowl. Oregon's overtime loss to Stanford on Nov. 17 cost the coach at least $200,000.
Kelly also stands to earn up to an additional $100,000 if a certain percentage of his seniors graduate, up to an additional $100,000 if his players achieve a certain grade-point average and up to an additional $100,000 if his players make other academic progress. In addition, his contract calls for the university to provide him with:
- Two automobiles. (Kelly will receive a $500 stipend per month per car if the university is unable to attain one or both of them.)
- A membership at the Eugene Country Club.
- 12 season tickets to football games along with two tickets to every home game for each of the university's other varsity teams.
- Travel expenses for a guest of Kelly's to attend all regular-season away games and a postseason bowl should the team qualify.
- A skybox suite at every home game to be filled with guests of Kelly's choosing.
Kelly's contract was negotiated by his agent, David Dunn. Dunn is the founder of Athletes First, an Irvine, Calif., agency that represents a number of NFL players and college and professional coaches, including San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh.

Windshield Doctor
Hi my name is Matt Thomas. I started my windshield doctor business back in 1979 while attending the University of Utah, and I never quit doing it. I am a lifelong resident of Bountiful and have always loved serving my friends, family, and neighbors in the South Davis area. We have hand-selected employees that have been with us for over a decade. They are all professionals and we make service and quality our priority. As always we come to you at no extra cost. We deal with all insurance companies, and we do all the paperwork. If you do not have insurance we make our prices as inexpensive as possible without cutting quality. Please give us a call today. Let us show you what a quality job we can do. Call me, Matt or any of my staff at (801)296-8800 or (801)580-3750. body {background-color: midnightblue}
I am the service manager at Land Rover and Bentley in Centerville. These high tech vehicles are as sophisticated and difficult to work on as any vehicle in the industry if you're not well trained. We opened here in 1998 and Matt Thomas and his staff have always been our auto glass specialists. We have used Windshield Doctor hundreds of times, always with great results.
-Torston Klunker
I am a Farmer's Insurance agent. I have been referring my insured to Windshield Doctor for over 15 years now. Matt is always quick to thank me but like I always tell him, his thanks to me are happy customers that I do not hear from after the job has been completed. Believe me, if my insured are not happy I hear about it. Windshield Doctor never lets me down.
-Scott Prince
I own Harrison Imports in Bountiful and Sandy. We specialize in selling and servicing mostly high end well taken care of automobiles. I have known and used Matt at Windshield Doctor for over 15 years. I have always been impressed with the quality of their work so when I opened my own store in 2007 Windshield Doctor was the company I chose to do all of my rock chips and glass replacements. There is definitely no one else I would trust to work on these types of automobiles.

This doctor did not come through. I was referred to them by Strong Audi--I have an A4--who uses them for rock chips but not windshield installation. They took 4 hours to install the windshield at my home and within a week the mirror was falling off. I contacted Matt to get it reinstalled and he told me I had a defective mirror and would not come out. Note, Matt had never seen my car and made the diagnosis over the phone. I went to Strong Audi and indeed they said that it was either a defective windshield or installation. Only after Strong Audi contacted Matt would he send his installer out to fix the defective installation. He may be good at fixing chips but the installation of my windshield here was malpractice.
Matt Thomas is THE BEST!!
As one of the largest Farmers Agencies in the state, I have used Matt for over 20 years and have NEVER had an upset customer!! His attention to detail and quality is 2nd to none. Call Matt you wont regret it!
Matt is the BEST!
I have been having Matt do all my glass on a professional and personal level for almost 20 years. He is always there when promised, with the best work and customer service. I recommend him to all my associates who need glass work done.

Now THAT'S a bike lane. Wider than wide.
Just a tad wider than the Copenhagen average of 2.2 m. .-)

Bike Lane
4 comments:
- Philboy said...
Kurt Vonnegut Jr said that science fiction and pornography were similar because they both fantasized about unbelievably friendly worlds. This lane looks like one of those. If we had bike lanes like that here in the desert my wife might start riding with me.

Sometimes, just sometimes, even the Bike Phobic British can get it right. Almost as good as the Danish version, don't you think?
- 20:29
Thats a segregated side path not a true cycletrack. It nice though and possibly very appropriate for the type of road it follows (can't tell).
- 03:13
- Zakkaliciousness said...
Great quote from Vonnegut.
Nice to see a decent British bike path!
In Danish what you're looking at is a 'cykelsti' - we don't get hung up on terminology. It's a bike lane. Whether it's alongside the traffic or winding it's way through the countryside far from any car.
It's a main road in a suburb to Copenhagen, Høje Taastrup.

POTSDAM The Good Times Party Store, 57 Market St., is closing with a going-out-of-business sale ending Saturday.
Owner Nancy A. White said the store barely received enough business to allow her to pay the bills and did not receive enough money to restock its inventory.
Ms. White said most people choose to go to stores that allow one-stop shopping, such as Walmart and Dollar Tree, rather than going to a designated party store.
She said she does not plan to open up a new store in the near future.

Local Government Reform
The future of local government
The reform of local government will see the reduction of 26 councils to 11. The 11 new councils will take over on 1 April 2015.
The new councils will be stronger, more efficient and will deliver more effective services. They will be citizen focused, responding to the needs, aspirations and concerns of their communities. In partnership with others, they will guide the future development of their areas. Read more about the benefits of local government reform here:
Local Government Reform - Back to basics... What are the benefits? (PDF 113kb).
The new council districts are:
Antrim and Newtownabbey District
Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon District
Causeway Coast and Glens District
Lisburn and Castlereagh District
Newry, Mourne and Down District
Legislation has been made to define the boundaries of the 11 new local government districts. It also sets the number, boundaries and names of the wards into which each district will be divided. View maps of the districts, boundaries and wards.
The Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 2014 is also now in place, and introduces the legislative framework for the new councils. Read more about the legislative framework here.
Functions to transfer from central to local government
The package has been agreed by the Executive.
Powers will transfer in planning, roads, urban regeneration, community development, local economic development and local tourism. The transfer will also include spot listing of buildings and greater involvement of local government in local sports decisions.
For a full list of powers to transfer please click the link below:
Powers agreed by the Executive to transfer to local councils in April 2015 (PDF 14.5 kb)
Councils will also have a new statutory duty of Community Planning and the General Power of Competence:
Community planning
This will provide a framework within which Councils, departments, statutory bodies and other relevant agencies and sectors can work together to develop and implement a shared vision for promoting the economic, social and environmental well-being of their area based on effective engagement with the community.
A Community Planning Foundation Programme (PDF 1736kb) has been developed to assist councils prepare for this new duty.
General Power of Competence
This will enable a council, in broad terms, to act with similar freedom to an individual, unless there is a law to prevent it from doing so. It would provide a council with the ability to act in its own interest and to develop innovative approaches to addressing issues in its area.

The family whose cat was mauled to death by hunting dogs will have to wait for longer for justice.
Trial for the two hunters was expected to begin Friday, but has been continued until next month.
The family who lost their beloved pet said all they want is an apology.
"It's hard. I have to block it out and try to move on," said Stacey Fujii, referring to the pictures of what hunting dogs did to the family cat, Sweetie.
Back in July, Sweetie was mauled by two hunting dogs that strayed off the trail and into a home across Kuliouou Park. Sweetie didn't stand a chance.
"We really hope the dog owners assume responsibility for this horrific, horrific incident," said Keoni Vaughn, Operations Director with the Hawaiian Humane Society.
Vaughn was among those in the gallery on Friday for what was to be the start of trial for the dogs owners.
The two men have separate cases, but the judge rescheduled court proceedings for both after granting a request by the attorney for defendant Micah Kaopua to continue the trial because he had just been hired and needed more time to prepare.
Defendant Scott Afong's lawyer said his client would like to settle things between the cat's owner, but outside of court.
"This is an overcharged case. This is a tragedy, but it's not a crime," said Jeff Willard, Afong's lawyer.
Fujii said this isn't about money or having the dogs taken away. She says it's simply about taking responsibility.
"By taking that extra step, hiring an attorney knowing that your dog killed my cat, just means you're not sorry," said Fujii.
The Honolulu City Council has addressed the issue of loose hunting dogs earlier this year, proposing a resolution calling for stricter enforcement of regulations on pig hunters.
The Hawaiian Humane Society supports improved enforcement.
"We definitely would be in favor of strengthening any type of enforcement on hunting with dogs," said Vaughn.
Trial for Scott Afong and Micah Kaopua is set for Dec. 26.

Lonafarnib for Chronic Hepatitis D
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- Chronic hepatitis D is a severe disease of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus. The hepatitis D virus can only infect a person who also has hepatitis B; therefore, people with delta hepatitis have both hepatitis B and hepatitis D virus infection. Most people with hepatitis D eventually develop cirrhosis, which causes scarring and damage to the liver. There is currently no effective treatment for chronic hepatitis D.
- Lonafarnib is a drug that was originally designed to treat different types of cancer. It may be able to prevent the hepatitis D virus from reproducing itself. However, it has not been tested on people with hepatitis D. Researchers want to study different doses of lonafarnib to see how they affect virus levels and other symptoms of hepatitis D.
- To test the safety and effectiveness of lonafarnib as a treatment for chronic hepatitis D.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have chronic hepatitis D.
- Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests, eye exams, and imaging studies of the liver and gall bladder. A liver biopsy may also be performed.
- Participants will receive either lonafarnib or placebo twice a day for 28 days. For the first 3 days, participants will stay in the hospital to have frequent blood tests. Participants will have four more clinic visits (on days 7, 14, 21, and 28) for blood and urine tests. Eye exams and heart function tests will also be given. Men may be asked to provide sperm samples for further testing.
- After the 28 days of treatment, participants will stop taking the drug or placebo. They will have regular followup visits for up to 6 months after stopping treatment....

Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Treatment of Chronic Delta Hepatitis With Lonafarnib
- The primary endpoint of therapy will be an improvement in quantitative serum HDV RNA levels after 28 days of lonafarnib therapy. [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Several secondary endpoints will be measured, including side effects, ALT levels, and symptoms. [ Time Frame: 7 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

|Primary Completion Date:
|April 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Drug: Lonafarnib
Chronic delta hepatitis is a serious form of chronic liver disease caused by infection with the hepatitis D virus (HDV), a small RNA virus that requires farnesylation of its major structural protein (HDV antigen) for replication. We propose to treat between 12 and 14 patients with chronic delta hepatitis using the farnesyltransferase inhibitor (FTI) lonafarnib for a duration of twenty-eight days. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors have not been used in the therapy of delta hepatitis. Patients with HBsAg and HDV RNA in serum, elevated aminotransferases, or moderate-to-severe chronic hepatitis and HDV antigen on liver biopsy will be enrolled. Before receiving therapy, patients will be monitored for at least three months with regular testing for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and will undergo Clinical Center admission for medical evaluation and percutaneous liver biopsy. Two dosing groups of lonafarnib will be assessed, with a placebo cohort in each group. At each clinic visit, patients will be questioned about side effects and symptoms, undergo focused physical examination, and have blood drawn for complete blood counts, HDV RNA, and routine liver tests (including ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, direct and total bilirubin, and albumin). At two-week intervals, for a period of 28 days, patients will also be tested for HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBV DNA, and prothrombin time. At the end of 28 days of treatment, patients will undergo repeat physical examination, assessment of symptoms (using a symptom scale questionnaire), complete blood counts, routine liver tests, and hepatitis B and D viral markers. The primary therapeutic endpoint will be an improvement in quantitative serum HDV RNA levels after 28 days of lonafarnib therapy. The primary safety endpoint will be the ability to tolerate the drug at the prescribed dose for the 4 week duration. Several secondary endpoints will be measured, including side effects, ALT levels, and symptoms. Therapy will be stopped for intolerance to lonafarnib (which will be carefully defined). This study is designed as a phase 2a study assessing the safety, tolerance and antiviral activity of two dose levels of lonafarnib, a farnesyltransferase inhibitor.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Age 18 years or above, male or female.
- Serum alanine or aspartate aminotransferase activities above the upper limit of normal (ALT > 41 or AST > 31 U/L) on an average of three determinations taken during the previous 6 months. The mean of the three determinations will be defined as baseline levels.
- Presence of anti-HDV in serum.
- Evidence of chronic hepatitis on liver biopsy done within the previous 12 months with a necroinflammatory score in histology activity index of at least 5 (out of a maximum of 18) and at least 1 for hepatic fibrosis (out of a maximum of 6).
- Presence of HDV antigen in liver tissue or HDV RNA in serum.
- Written informed consent.
- Decompensated liver disease, defined by bilirubin > 4mg/dL, albumin < 3.0 gm/dL, prothrombin time > 2 sec prolonged, or history of bleeding esophageal varices, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy. Laboratory abnormalities that are not thought to be due to liver disease may not necessarily require exclusion. Patients with ALT levels greater than 1000 U/L (> 25 times ULN) will not be enrolled but may be followed until three determinations are below this level.
- Pregnancy or inability to practice adequate contraception, in women of childbearing potential or in spouses of such women. Adequate contraception is defined as vasectomy in men, tubal ligation in women, or use of two barrier methods such as condoms and spermicide combination, birth control pills, an intrauterine device, Depo-Provera, or Norplant.
- Significant systemic or major illnesses other than liver disease, including, but not limited to, congestive heart failure, renal failure (eGFR < 50 ml/min), organ transplantation, serious psychiatric disease or depression (only if felt to be at high risk by the NIH psychiatric consultation service), and active coronary artery disease.
- Systemic immunosuppressive therapy within the previous 2 months.
- Evidence of another form of liver disease in addition to viral hepatitis (for example autoimmune liver disease, primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, Wilson disease, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (but not steatosis), hemochromatosis, or alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency).
- Active substance abuse, such as alcohol, inhaled or injection drugs within the previous year.
- Evidence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Evidence of concurrent hepatitis C infection with positive serum HCV RNA.
- Any experimental therapy apart from pegylated interferon within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- Diagnosis of malignancy in the five years prior to the enrollment with exception granted to superficial dermatologic malignancies.
- Evidence of HIV co-infection; HIV (Omega) antibody positivity on serum testing.
- Concurrent usage of statins as these drugs inhibit mevalonate synthesis which reduces protein prenylation.
- Concurrent usage of moderate and strong CYP3A inhibitors and inducers.
- Inability to understand or sign informed consent.
- Any other condition, which in the opinion of the investigators would impede the patient s participation or compliance in the study.

From free flu shots for the community every year, to charity care for those in need, to supporting the education of future nurses and doctors,
BJC HealthCare community benefit programs touch the community one life at a time.
For patients without health insurance who are facing a medical catastrophe, community benefit brings financial relief in the form of free care or reduced bills.
For teen parents who are barely more than children themselves, it brings assistance and a support system determined to "Raise St. Louis" by connecting them to the right resources to help their children get off to a bright start with a lifelong impact.
For women without access to preventive care, community benefit opens the door to life-saving mammography screening that can detect breast cancer while there is still an opportunity for timely treatment.
During 2013, BJC and its member hospitals and health service organizations provided more than $589 million in free or reduced medical care, education of health professionals, medical research funding and community outreach programs.

Okay I admit I am the biggest baby in the world when it comes to dental work. Probably stemming from a bad experience I had years ago when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I needed gum surgery which included pulling a tooth and a bone graft on another. I was scared to death. Dr Cordoba and her staff never made me feel silly. They did an amazing job of comforting my fears but best of all I didn't feel any pain during the procedure. And I'm healing amazingly well- no pain killers needed. I think the best complement I can offer is that I won't be scared at all if I ever have to go back.

Dr. Cordoba did a wonderful job with my gum graft surgery. It healed up wonderfully with no pain killers needed. I need to have another gum graft done, and I'm so thankful, knowing that I will be in good hands with Dr. Cordoba.

Wayne and Mariam Baker as they are today.
For Wayne Baker, unused stuff has always been a treasure, particularly metal scrap.
"When I was a kid, about 11 years old, I started buying and selling junk," he said in a recent interview. "I knew if I had a dime in my pocket, I could use it to get some kid I knew to scrounge around his dads place and bring me stuff that they thought of as junk, but I could sell for $10."
Born in Afton, Wyo., in 1924, and raised in the heart of the depression, Baker worked his way through those formulative years on farms in the area and by being what we term today as entreupenurial.
He survived his teen years, but in his last year of high school his Model A was run into head on by a drunk driver, which banged he and one of his brothers up pretty bad. This put him in a bad position to finish high school.
"When I got well enough to go back to school the principal told me that I could finish out the year, but that I had missed enough time that I would have to make up what I had lost in time the next year," he said. "That wasn't what I wanted to do at all."
So off to California he went to find work. He found it in the form of Western Union. Then went to work for Kaiser in a shipbuilding facility and finally Pacific Bridge. Here was metal like he had never seen before as the companies were building 4,000 ton ships that would be used to land British soldiers by ramming their bows up onto beaches and then pulling off again to get another load of men.
Then on March 30, 1943 Uncle Sam came calling, drafting him into the U.S. Army Air Corp.
Over the next year his life would be transformed from working in a shipyard to becoming an aircraft mechanic and then transitioning into a flight engineer on B-24 Liberator bombers.
Eventually he was assigned to the Eighth Air Force in England and found himself beginning to fly bombing missions across into continental Europe in May of 1944. By August of that same year he had been on 32 missions and at that point he was done flying into battle.
"At the time the life expectancy for a crew member of a B-24 in missions over Europe to be eight to 12 missions," he said. Obviously, he beat the odds. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross and was soon on his way back to the U.S.
On a furlough and heading home for Wyoming, he stopped in Ogden to visit some relatives. There he met Mariam Meister, who incidentally worked as a mechanics helper at Hill Air Base on B-24's. When he met her she was dirty and greasy, just getting home from work but they went with his cousin and Miriam's sister for watermelon in south Ogden that evening. Baker put his hand on her neck as they were driving and she complained to his cousin that Wayne was "getting fresh" but she never told him to stop either.
He was assigned to duty in Mississippi and then went to Denver where he found himself taking flights he could often catch from his base to Hill to see the girl he had met there.
On August 15, 1945, Baker's birthday, the war ended with VJ day and the military started releasing soldiers from the service. Baker was soon to be released in October so he got a furlough and was married to Mariam just before he was discharged.
For the next 10 years Wayne and Mariam would move around taking jobs in places like Montpelier, Idaho, Monterey and Alameda, Calif., Great Falls, Mont., Denver, Colo., and finally Roy, where he not only worked in construction, but soon found himself and Mariam working once again at Hill Field. They also started the "White Elephant Store" in Sunset, which eventually burned down. They then moved the business to Roy. Soon the store replaced the living they were making at Hill Air Base, but then Wayne got very sick. Miriam ran the store for the last year they had it.
The year of 1956 brought a real change to their lives. While Wayne was recuperating from the illness, the family traveled to Carbon County to visit Mariam's parents who had now lived in Miller Creek for a number of years after leaving Ogden. Mariam's father was always a wheeler dealer and one day he wanted to go to Rains, where the mine had been closed down, and the company was selling off lots of stuff.
Baker went along, not intending to buy anything, but then he saws a pile of metal, mining machines, parts and other items laying there. Knowing the metals business, it rekindled a fire in him that he had when he was a boy. He knew what scrap and equipment could bring, and he asked Phil Rains, the owner how much they would take for the whole lot. He told Baker he could take it all for $150. Baker saw opportunity because he knew he could get at least $1000 for it if he did things right. But he had no money to buy it or to obtain equipment to scrap it or move it. But he made the deal anyway, promising Rains he would pay. He returned to Roy wondering how he could come up with the money to take advantage of the situation and he found the answer in a banker friend he knew who lent him the money to start his new scrap and machine business.
Thus was born Mountain States Machinery that eventually located its headquarters in Carbonville.
"I think I made between $3-4,000 off that pile of metal I bought," said Baker. "With the money we borrowed we bought a truck to haul it and I had my dad's 1940 Chevy truck I converted into a winch truck and we were off."
As he was working around Rains, the owner continued to offer him deals on materials and scrap and he kept taking it. All the time making more and more money, and investing it back into the business.
Within a few years of buying used mine machinery and scrap, Baker had developed a lucrative business. He got to know a lot of people in Carbon County and the family settled in Price and later moved to Carbonville.
Then in almost one fell swoop he found himself getting into the actual coal mining business, and with a famous partner.
"The Lions Mining Company decided to close the Wattis mine," said Baker. "We bought the salvage rights to the equipment in the mine."
Lions was owned by the Browing family of Ogden (Browning Arms Company) and by Mariner Eccles (First Security Bank). They had been losing money every year on the operation and were getting out of the coal business. Just as Mountain States began to salvage the equipment Baker found out that Lions was going to sell the property as well.
"I was concerned about that they might sell the land and that could cause problems for our salvage operations so I asked Grant Folger (Lions manager) about how much they wanted for the property," stated Baker. "He told me they wanted to get rid of it for $1 and acre. There was 2,300 acres so I paid them cash and now I owned a coal mine."
As Baker looked at the operation he realized that the mine could be made profitable if things were done differently.
"I had never been a coal miner or in the business, but I could see that we could improve productivity and make money on the mine," he said. "I began by looking at some geological reports from the 1920's that pointed to a coal seam that ran into the Hiwatha mine. It was on the top of a bluff so we went exploring."
He hired a D-8 Cat to build a very poor road to the top of the bluff, and they dug away enought to reach the seam that was reported in the survey. It was an eight to 10 foot seam.
Meanwhile the owner of one of two of the largest coal mining operations in Carbon County was upset about the sale of the Wattis Mine to Baker. He apparently saw some possible competition he didn't like. With one order he cut Mountain States Machinery business by 50 percent by saying his mines would not buy anything from Baker's company. Baker tried and tried to convince the mining company that he would not be a problem for them, but they refused to give back the business.
Baker then saw he had to do something with what he had, and it was a lot of coal, but he needed a partner to get it going.
It was then that he approached Elbert Loudermilk, whom had done a little business to go in with him on developing the mine.
"See that mesa over there," Baker said as he pointed towards Wattis as he stood in a middle of a construction project near Blue Cut that Loudermilk's company was working on. "That's where it is at. I think it looks really good."
Loudermilk agreed to take a ride with Baker to the site and once they were climbing up the makeshift road Loudermilk kept telling him, "We need to widen this road" and once the reached the top he said, "We need to even this out and create an area where you can work."
Baker kept agreeing with him and kept telling him that why he needed a partner.
"I know, but I don't have the money," said Baker. "That's why I need you."
After examining the coal seam Loudermilk said he would join in provided his brother Hoyle would go along with it.
Hoyle didn't. But by the time that was determined Loudermilk's company had already done a lot of work on preparing the mine, and spent a lot of money. Baker agreed to pay his company for their time.
"I got a bill that was half of what it should have been for what they did," said Baker. "I owe Elbert Loudermilk a lot for helping me get that mine started."
So it was back to lookingfor a partner. Baker had heard that Art Linkletter, the famous television personality, was interested in mineral development. Baker, never a shrinking violet, called Linkletter's geologist who arranged a meeting with Linkletter, as well as Caswell Silver from Sundance Oil and John Taylor, the founder of Farmers Insurance Group. They met in Los Angeles, Calif.
"The discussion was simple," said Baker. "They already knew pretty much everything about me and trusted Cas Silver who had looked into this. They wrote me out checks for the money I asked for and with that we paid Elbert Loudermilk his money."
Thus the Plateau Mine was born.
Over the next few years the mine was to prove very valuable as it turned out much more coal per shift than the average at the time. Labor troubles at one point caused some problems, but Baker got through that by making Plateau and non-union mine. At one point he was even threatened by a man who told him that in the east he would be wearing concrete boots and be in the river.
That man was later proved to be one of the people who went in and shot and killed union leader Joseph Yablonsky and his family in 1969.
"There was a point during that whole thing that we didn't let any of our kids out of our sight without them having a guard with them," said Baker somberly.
When the mine was sold in 1971, the owners got 13 times what they had invested in it when it was purchased by United Nuclear Corporation.
Around the same time Baker sold Mountain States Machinery to George Harmond Sr.
It was time to move and the family moved to the Idaho-Wyoming line not far from where Baker grew up.
In the ensuing years Baker has taken on many other projects and even started a firearms company called Freedom Arms, which to this day make some very high quality firearms. Many national teams use Freedom Arms guns to compete with.
Baker has also developed special target systems for gun ranges.
He also came up with Baker Fence Systems, that are being used in places where heavy snow destroys barbed wire fences each year when traditional methods of attaching the wire to the posts are used. His system prevents damage to the fences.
But his first love, taking scrap and turning the material into something useful still stays with him even at 86 years old. To this day, he still builds and erects steel bridges, mostly on private property, across Idaho and Wyoming. He does it with little help and enjoys it.
Last year his 99 year old brother challenged him to a foot race during a family reunion. They raced and Wayne Baker won the race. His brother said he got a foot out first.
But then that is the way Baker seems to have done everything in his life.
He was always a doer, and often out in front when he was doing it.
(Wayne Baker's life and his accomplishments are detailed in a book called "Above the Clouds: The Story of an American Entrepreneur." It is sold at the CEU Prehistoric Museum, Mrs. Guppy's Fabric Store and other retail outlets in town.)
