When it was announced initiative one had been placed on the 2004 general election ballot, little fanfare resulted. But when Gov. Olene Walker came out against the bill in early October, it stirred the pot enough for the opposition to surface.
"I have been a longtime advocate of open space, conservation, trails and clean air and water," explained Walker in a statement released Oct. 7. "The dream behind initiative one is right, but the implications are wrong."
Walker claimed the initiative would take local funding to address less important issues and the cost of $150 million may be too high.
In recent weeks, politicians running for office have come out against the measure. Organizations like the Utah Taxpayers Association, farm and ranch groups and parties with vested interested have also voiced opposition.
Utah's statewide initiative process is complicated and groups wishing to get measures on a ballot must jump through a lot of hoops. The Utah Code spells out two processes to get an initiative passed into law.
One way is for a group or an individual to gather signatures equal to 5 percent of the voters who cast ballots for the governor in the last general election
In addition, 5 percent of the signatures must come from at least 20 individual counties where ballots were submitted for governor.
If the petition is verified by the lieutenant governor's office, the initiative is submitted to the speaker of the House of Representatives and the president of the Senate not less than 10 days before the beginning of the general session of the Utah Legislature.
Then the two houses can consider the initiative and bring it or an amended version of it into law without the measure going to the people.
However, an initiative can also become law by the direct vote of the people, as is the case with this year's initiative one. In this case a group must gather signatures of 10 percent of the number of votes cast in the last election for governor. They must also get signatures equaling 10 percent of the vote for the governor in the last race from at least 20 counties. In this process the lieutenant governor must declare sufficient signatures by registered voters four months before the next regular general election and then it is placed on the ballot.
In a nutshell that is how the process occurs, although with applications, sponsorship requirements, and other details, the process is more complicated than just getting signatures on a piece of paper.
People sometimes confuse initiatives and referendums. An initiative is a move by the people to bring some measure to the legislature or onto the ballot. A referendum is very different. It is used when a law or measure has been passed by the legislature and it is determined by either the legislature itself or by petition of voters that the support of the electorate needs to be measured on the issue.
Voters who make a decision on initiative one should consider the following items when voting.
By voting for the measure they would authorize the state to borrow up to $150 million from issued bonds. The money for repayment of the bonds would come from a sales tax increase of one-twentieth of one cent. However some money could also come from general state sales tax revenue as well, should the designated amount not pay the bond payments.
The money would be used to preserve or enhance lakes, rivers, and streams and to improve water quality. It would also be used for land issues, such as preserving open space, building parks, trails, preserving historic sites, etc. Some of the money would also be used for wildlife, as well as clean air management.
Money from the bonds would also be used to build local community facilities, such as museums and natural history venues.
The measure specifically points out what money will go to which state agencies, with the Quality Growth Commission (QGC) getting $120 million of the $150 million borrowed. They, in turn, must allocate specific amounts to such agencies as the Division of Wildlife Resources, the Division of State Parks, the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Agriculture and Food. The QGC would also have $57 million to work with for matching monies with applicants for various projects concerning open space and conservation.
Proponents of the measure point out the positive results of such a measure, indicating that water quality will improve by protecting lakes, streams and reservoirs, that family farms and ranches will be preserved, and that wildlife and fisheries will benefit from the expenditures. In addition they also state that parks will be improved and historical and cultural resources can be made better and conserved.
"I think this initiative is a good move," stated Democrat Walt Borla, who is running for the open state house seat in District 67 which encompasses about one-third of Carbon County voters. "We need to protect open space. I think the price of this measure is very small for the benefit that could be derived from it."
Democratic congressman Jim Matheson also said last week that he supports initiative one and will vote for it. A call concerning the issue from the Sun Advocate to the Republican challenger for Matheson's seat in the second congressional district, John Swallow, was not returned by press time.
In addition it also has strong support from a number of prominent Utah figures including former senator Jake Garn, former first lady of the state Norma Matheson and John Garff, a prominent Utah businessman.
Opposition to the bill comes from Walker and a myriad of others who see the measure as either "pork barrel" or those that see what they consider more important needs being left behind in the race for state funds.
"I oppose passage of initiative one," said Republican Patrick Painter, also vying for the vacated seat in state house district 67. "Everyone loves open space, including me. But when roughly 70 percent of the state is owned by non private entities, it would seem to me to be more prudent to fund higher priority items of the state budget like education and transportation that currently are not fully funded."
Opposition also comes from those that worry about the control of the money and the power that the situation could dictate.
"Open space is an important issue," commented Democrat Brad King, state house representative from district 69. "But I worry about the decisions that could be made on this. Will it be under state or local control? Everything in the measure needs more detail. Who will be in charge of it? I also wonder about the costs involved and what a bond can do for us over what we could do with cash."
The debate about the specifics of the measure have at times also been overshadowed by who supposedly supports the bill and who doesn't. While there are some individual farmers and ranchers who support it, organizations of those same type of businessmen do not. Last Friday the Utah Farm Bureau, the Utah Wool Growers Association, the Utah Cattlemen's Association, the Utah Dairymen's Association and the Utah Farmers Union held a press conference to ask voters to vote the initiative down.
"If given the opportunity, farmers and ranchers are going to continue maintaining Utah's private open lands," said Utah Farm Bureau President Leland Hogan. "Adequate commodity prices and profitability will allow this generation and the next generation to continue in the operations without additional societal costs of government actions. Initiative one tax dollars would provide unfair government competition in the marketplace for the state's limited land and grazing resources, especially for beginning farmers and ranchers."
The group complained that an advertising campaign by Utahns for Clean Air, Water and Quality Growth, and the Nature Conservancy painted a picture that Utah farmers and ranchers supported the initiative. However at the press conference on Friday, the consortium that represents the majority of agricultural interests said that was not so. The group stated that they were concerned how high spending campaigns can influence voters on issues like this.
Earlier in the week leaders from the legislature also got together and issued a statement that said they were not in support of the initiative. Their reasons included some of the same ones that Walker had pointed out earlier and they also said that budgeting by initiative sets a harmful precedent that has had a detrimental affect on other states where it has been done. They also said that there were other needs that needed addressing more with state money than some of those in initiative one.
"...we struggle each year to make ends meet," the group said in a released statement. "With urgent needs such as education, transportation and law enforcement, it doesn't make sense for the state to assume local government funding issues."

A wonderful tribute to my brother, Walt (Buck) Borla, appeared in the Sun Advocate on July 16. It was titled "Trophy ball rewards player's fight to overcome polio."
I remember Jimmy Lupo contacting polio in 1953. That was a blow to the whole community. Thank God that Jimmy learned how to walk again and he credits Buck with the fact he can walk without braces or a cane.
My brother lived and dreamed of starting the Helper Little League. Baseball has always been in his heart and to help young boys and girls in a sport in which they could participate. With his determination this was accomplished. To honor Walt the Little League field was named after him. My mother was so proud to be able to attend the dedication.
We are all proud to have Walt as a brother and an outstanding citizen of Carbon County.
Keep up the good work brother.

Each year, nearly 7 million children die before reaching their fifth birthdays, according to the World Health Organization. More than half of these deaths are caused by conditions that are preventable or treatable, including pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, and malnutrition. To put it bluntly, every day 20,000 children are killed by conditions that could be prevented or cured with simple, affordable remedies—vaccinations, bed nets, food, clean drinking water, and antibiotics.
PIH strives to eliminate this unnecessary suffering and death by providing free comprehensive health care for children and their families and by working to ensure that children have access to the basic rights—vaccinations, health care, education—that are key to a healthy, productive life.
Preventing the transmission of HIV to infants
Each day, about 1,000 infants are born with HIV, the vast majority of whom reside in poor countries. Most of these infants could be protected from HIV infection through effective HIV testing and treatment for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT). These interventions have nearly eliminated mother-to-child transmission in wealthy countries, UNAIDS reports.
In Haiti, PIH began offering PMTCT and HIV counseling to pregnant mothers in 1995, just one year after it became available in the United States. PIH's HIV Equity Initiative has provided antiretroviral therapy (ART) free of charge for thousands of Haitian children living with HIV since 2000. HIV care for children is fully integrated into other basic health services, also provided at no cost. In 2005, PIH began implementing this model first in Rwanda and later Malawi and Lesotho.
Creating access to health and education
In Peru, PIH's Socios En Salud Sucursal program serves children in the deeply impoverished communities of Carabayllo in northern Lima. The program targets both health and education for children living in the Carabayllo slums.
To improve health, PIH manages community health posts where staff promote health, prevent the spread of disease, and provide primary health care. These activities address issues of gender, equity, community participation, and social empowerment that have a significant effect on health. PIH's education activities aim to organize the community to promote the rights of children and adolescents. PIH identifies community leaders who follow children in their education, providing support to families that helps address social barriers that prevent many children from completing their education.
In Haiti, PIH supports 39 community primary schools and 25 accelerated learning centers for children who had not previously been enrolled in primary school. In total, these schools educated about 8,000 students in 2011. These primary and secondary students have performed exceedingly well on national exams, achieving a 91 percent pass rate in 2012.
To improve attendance and achievement at schools throughout the rural Central Plateau district, PIH also provides hot lunches at 125 schools, reaching 18,000 students each day. Because Haiti's school system requires that students wear closed-toe shoes to class, PIH partnered with TOMS Shoes to distribute more than 70,000 pairs of shoes to local school children from 2010 to 2012. All of these programs address key barriers to education for poor children to help break them out of the cycle of poverty and disease.
With many other child-centered programs in the poor communities where PIH works, we offer children the same essential rights and services that have virtually eliminated deaths from common childhood ailments in rich countries.

'We started the panic calls last night'
LEABURG, Ore. - Sue McKinney surveyed the damage on Monday.
"There are my sprinklers out there," said McKinney. "They are usually on dry land."
On Sunday, the rising McKenzie River threatened her home of nearly 30 years.
"I had water completely covering my lawn, the lawn next door and it was underneath my house," McKinney said. "We started the panic calls last night."
McKinney spent the night at her friend's house up river.
"I didn't sleep last night," she said.
McKinney said she's only seen the river this high once. She returned home on Monday.
"You can see where the water was at its highest which was probably during the night," McKinney said.
According to McKinney, the damage could have been worse.
"It probably took care of the gophers," she said.
Down river a few miles, a traffic jam of tree trunks clogged the Leaburg Dam.
Eugene Water and Electric Board crews on the scene said they were very concerned about all the debris. They let some water through the dam to lower river levels.
It was a good sign, McKinney said, one that means she'll probably spend the night back in the comfort of her own home.

The sizzle of steaks cooking on the grill, a warm and sunny day and plenty of people with empty stomachs waiting for a delicious lunch. All of these elements came together as Far West Bank held it's annual customer appreciation day street barbeque on August 6.
The 17th annual barbeque held on 100 W was a way for Far West to take some time to say thank you to the local community by providing a nice lunch, said Dan Hunter, senior vice president and regional manager of Far West Bank.
"We have this barbeque to say thanks to the entire community and the tremoundous amount of support we receive from them," Hunter said. "Carbon County is the greatest place in the world to run a business and the barbeque brings out friends, customers and neighbors from the community."
Employees from Far West Bank served up steak, corn, potato salad, fruit, rolls and water to everyone who stopped by. A large tent was set up on the street to provide a shaded area for people to enjoy their meals and mingle with family and friends.
The annual barbeque is a way of not only showing appreciation for the support received from the community, but to show that Far West understands that some people are in a tough spot with the economy and the job market, Hunter said.
"We want to be with our clients during the good and bad times, and they've seen both," Hunter said.

Staying safe in the snow
Going to Tahoe? Or elsewhere to the snow? Then here's some safety tips from CHP Officer Pete Mann of the Truckee office to help you avoid ending up like the driver in the photo: 1. Give yourself plenty of time. Don't rush when you're driving on snow or ice. Conditions can change suddenly in the Sierra during winter, turning a three-hour trip to 10 hours. "Plan for the unexpected," Mann says. 2.If you haven't put on chains before or not… Read More »

Lynn Archuleta's straw is slightly longer that rival Janice Hunt's, so Archuleta will go on the ballot for East Carbon City Council in the November general election. The drawing of lots on Monday was mandated by the Lieutenant Governor's office when a canvass of votes last week showed the two candidates were in a tie with 34 votes each. The city originally was ordered to have the drawing in five days, but was granted six because Archuleta was out of town until Monday.
There are no hard feelings about the outcome between the two candidates. They have been friends for a long time and say they will continue to be in the future. "I am running because I would like help this council get a handle on East Carbon's budget situation. I would like to find out what is going on with our city's budget. Beautification for our city is also an important issue to me as I would like to see local property values rise. I hope to work with the council and public, I am not the type to stand alone," Archuleta commented.
As for the situation that produced the tie and the consequence of turning to the luck of the draw, election official and former sheriff Jim Robertson said, "The city could have avoided this whole situation if we would have just had a decent voter turnout."

Channing Tatum's daughter, Everly Tatum, just made her first public appearance!
On Saturday, Jenna Dewan-Tatum was photographed with her one-month-old baby girl at LAX -- and she is one little cutie.
Even though Channing confessed that witnessing the birth of his daughter was somewhat scary, the actor is definitely a hands-on father and wants to spend as much time with his baby girl as possible.
In an interview last month with "Good Morning America" the 33-year-old explained that everything little Everly does is exciting ... even when she goes to the bathroom!
"I've never been so excited when something poos," he confessed on.
"I just get so amped up because I'm in the game now. The mom does so much of the early work those first few weeks and I'm just like, 'Put me in the game. Put me in the game,'" he says. "I've gotten so good at like changing diapers, swaddling and then get it back before she cries."
We can't wait to see more pictures of Channing's little lady -- click "Launch Gallery" above to see more cute celebrity kids!

Smith Robinson with Ralph Edwards, 1954. GAYE LeBARON'S NOTEBOOK Once upon a time there was a most remarkable man The video is black and white and a little jumpy, made from a brittle 16mm film. The audio is scratchy. Crew-cut Bob Warren's commercials for Hazel Bishop lipstick seem unbelievably primitive in the eyes of the '90s. Host Ralph Edwards works on suspense-building as the camera scans the studio audience. "It could be you," says Edwards. "Or it could be YOU!" The camera comes to rest on a handsome black man in horn-rimmed glasses seated on the aisle. "But, it is you, Smith Robinson of Healdsburg, California. THIS is YOUR life!" • • • THE YEAR was 1954.. And when Edwards suggested, a few minutes into the program, that there were "about 50 people to a television set" in the town of Healdsburg that night, his estimate was probably low. Healdsburg had 3,500 souls in those days. And not one of them didn't know "Smitty." Smitty's story seems almost like a fairy tale today. Too good to be true. When you mention his name to people who have been around a while, there's an immediate smile and a heartfelt, "What a great guy he was!" Robinson's role in the community life of mid-century Healdsburg had almost nothing to do with the fact that he was black, or that he and his family were the only blacks in town. Or, if it was a factor, it was more in his eagerness to be a credit to his community because of his race, not in spite of it. People didn't expiate their guilt by loving Smitty. Rather, he earned the admiration and, yes, love of an entire town with his deeds. There were so many stars In Smitty's crown it's hard to know where to beg!n. Men who were in the military in World War II remember "Smitty's Scoops," a hometown newsletter he wrote for all the Healdsburg men who were in Ihe armed forces. This project began as a personal letter-writing campaign. Kept out of the service by a heart condition, Robinson determined that his part in the war effort would be to write letters to those who served. He was up to 300 letters a month when he realized he had taken on more than he could do alone. When his fellow Rotarians learned of "Smitty's Scoops," the club became the newsletter sponsor. "Scoops" endured for almost 20 years - as long as Smitty wrote them - keeping servicemen in touch with home. • • • MEMBERS of the 1st Battalion, 7th Infantry who fought in Korea remember Smitty as their benefactor. In heavy fighting in 1951, the 1st Battalion moved In such haste that they left behind all gear, including stationery, soap, combs and other personal items. Their commander, Lt. Col. Fred Weyand (who later became a general), wrote his wife, the former Arline Langhart, whose father, Ed Langhart, was a Healdsburg city official. What his men needed, Col. Weyand told his wife, was 10 be "adopted" by a town. Arline knew just what town to ask. And who to ask. Smitty became the chairman of the committee that coordinated the packages of toiletries and wash rags and combs and cookies and magazines and "Pocket" books and pipe tobacco that were shipped to Korea for Healdsburg's adopted fighting unit. The men were put on the mailing list for "Smitty's Scoops." • • • Smitty with Jim Young, the serviceman to receive a copy of 'Smitty's Scoops.' • • • The 1st Battalion became the envy of every outfit in Korea, one member later recalled, because they had two hometowns, their own and Healdsburg. The pay-back came in the form of thank you letters, long-distance friendships andin gifts to the community - by way of Smitty, of course - which included a flagpole at the junior high, a new radio system for patients at the hospital and playground equipment for the elementary schools. • • • YOUNG PEOPLE, growing up in Healdsburg in Smitty's time remember him as a volunteer coach of the high school basketball and football teams, a founder of the alumni association, the originator of the high school's annual homecoming, and as founder and director of the youth choir at the Federated Church. The choir members knew Smitty was special. He taught them music. He expanded their world with annual summer "exchanges" with the all-black Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, where his brother-in-law was pastor. And, as one former choir member terms it, "He kept a lot of us in church." If Smitty were here to answer, he would say, as he said when Edwards raised the subject of the choir before the TV cameras, "That's the closest to my heart." • • • HE WANTED to be a minister. That was his intention when he went to Berkeley in 1930 to study at the University of California - and to play football for the Golden Bears. He had been a star running back at Healdsburg High (and a star on the basketball and track teams) and had come from a successful season as a fullback for Santa Rosa Junior College. His family was the only black family In Healdsburg. His parents, Jessie and Elzora, had 10 children of which Smith was the oldest son. They came to town in 1920, when Smith was 12 years old. His father became the groundskeeper at Tayman Park golf course In Healdsburg. Smitty's life changed dramatically in his first semester at the university. His heart began to behave erratically and doctors told him he had a rheumatic heart condition. Football was out of the question, so was further studies. He was to go home and live quietly. And, they said, he probably would not live long. So Smitty came back to Healdsburg and look a "temporary" job as a custodian at Healdsburg General Hospital. He worked there for 32 years. An article about him in Ebony magazine In 1954 calls him a "handyman," but he meant far more than that to the hospital. "He came to where he helped run the place," said his good friend Earl Osborn, who was vice principal of Healdsburg High for many years. He ordered supplies and tended the equipment. And he visited the patients, often with bouquets of flowers from his mother's garden. His mother's biscuits were another gift Smitty often distributed to patients and friends. His good works were first nationally noted in Reader's Digest in 1952, in an article that focused on his work for the 1st Battalion. Time magazine, too, wrote about Smitty. And when "This is Your Life" surprised him - "I felt like I'd been kicked by a mule," Smitty Joked to friends - other publications like Ebony, Presbyterian Life and the Negro History Bulletin, took notice. • • • IN 1960, Smitty's good heart began to fail him. When the town threw a party for him - raising $5,000 for a heart operation he was too ill to undergo - he was confined to bed and could not attend to hear all the kind words that were spoken of him. There were only kind words for Smitty. "I don't believe I ever heard anyone say a bad word about him," said Osborn, who is 87 now. Osborn did confide however, that he may have been the world's worst driver. He always walked where he wanted to go, until Ralph Edwards' sponsor gave him a new Mercury. "He never really mastered driving," said Osborn. "I used to tell people. 'Get out of the way, here comes Smitty!' " He died in 1963. The saddened community agreed that the new high school gym should be named the Smith Robinson Gymnasium. He wouldn't be forgotten they promised. In 1977, 14 years after his death. former members of his choirs made good on that promise, coming together at the gym to spend a reunion weekend singing - and remembering a man who was such a force for good in their town. • • • Smitty directs his youth choir at the Federated Church, ca. 1950

Russell Westbrook might have had one of the weirdest games you'll ever see.
In the first half of the Thunder's 114-108 win over the Lakers on Friday night, he was virtually unstoppable, making nearly every shot he threw at the rim.
Russell Westbrook might have had one of the weirdest games you'll ever see.
In the first half of the Thunder's 114-108 win over the Lakers on Friday night, he was virtually unstoppable, making nearly every shot he threw at the rim.
In the final 24 minutes, he barely could buy a bucket.
But in the end, all that mattered was the message he once again sent to the Lakers, a memo he's made crystal clear in each of the past three seasons but one that just might be more meaningful now than it ever was.
The Lakers, regardless of their extreme Hollywood makeover, still can't guard him.
Westbrook scored 33 points with eight assists in 40 minutes to lead the Thunder to its seventh straight win. He made 12 of 26 shots, including a career-high five 3-pointers while turning the ball over only twice.
Good thing Steve Nash was sitting on the bench in a suit.
No telling what Westbrook might have done to the Lakers had their starting point guard, a notoriously poor defender, been available.
Though this first meeting between the Thunder and Lakers lacked the luster it could have carried thanks to injuries to Nash and Lakers forward Pau Gasol, the dominance of Westbrook seemingly won't change whenever the Lakers get right. And that's something the Thunder and its fans can find comfort in if these two teams do indeed meet in the Western Conference playoffs.
Westbrook always has been and continues to be the Thunder's X-factor against the Lakers.
"He's a hometown guy," said Kevin Durant of Westbrook. "He's from L.A. You always want to play well against your hometown team. He came out tonight and was on fire in the first half, and it opened it up for everybody else in the second and we were able to cruise for a good win."
Westbrook entered the game averaging 20 points, 3.8 rebounds and 7.2 assists against the Lakers. Against Nash, who missed his 18th straight game while nursing a fractured fibula, Westbrook has been just as lethal, averaging 20.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists.
On Friday, Westbrook poured in 27 points in the first half, making 10 of 16 shots and all five of his 3s before the intermission.

Customise your Case with Annodising
Annodisation process
Published: 13th April 2006 | Source: Overclock3D |Step 4: Positive and negative connections
Most Recent Comments
I'm getting well tempted for a new case but lack of room restricts me at the moment. Once I get some more room then I'll buy a new case and get some annodising done :)
Cheers! :D
Caswell :)
Thanks Marcus!!!
I'm looking into it now
Due to health & safety retail outlets cannot supply sulphuric acid in its neat form but can sell a formula for drain cleaning. We have found over the last 5 years that a product called "Oneshot" sold in B&Q, Robert Dyas and other good ironmonger stores is the best formula for our use. It is 91% sulphuric acid and as the colourant and odouriser are both organic, these disappear quickly with use.
To use this product you need measure out 2 litres of deionised water into a plastic container capable of holding 4 or 5 litres and also able to stand reasonable temperature. You would then the 1 litre of Oneshot into the water, NOT the other way round, but do this slowly as it will generate a fair amount of heat. You now have what is termed battery acid. For anodising one part of this acid is poured into two parts of distilled water and you now have an anodising electrolyte.
