Members of the United Mine Workers of America, including workers from the Deer Creek coal mine and Hunter Station coal preparation plant, conducted an informational picket on Friday in front of the Salt Lake home of PacifiCorp Energy President and CEO Micheal Dunn.
Thirty-seven active and retired members carried placards on the sidewalk in front of the home to call attention to Dunn's role in the "management's proposal to cut safety provisions, cut health care for retired and active workers and eliminate pensions for some employees," according to a union release.
"Things went pretty well," said UMWA District 22 International Representative Lou Shelley, who attended the picket. "We had a good turnout despite 104 degree weather and saw quite a few people pass along Wasatch Boulevard."
According to Shelley, the major point of contention in the ongoing UWMA - Energy West contract negotiation is the company's insistence that the workers and pensioners take a 70/30 split on healthcare costs. The new plan would call for a split in premium costs as well.
"For 40 years, the UMWA has taken lower wages during contract negotiations in order to keep medical coverage for our workers and those who have retired. Now they want that too," said Shelley. "They say it's about principle but that's because they can't say it's about money."
PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway/MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., reported profits of $1.3 billion in 2011. A profit margin that has reportedly strengthened the union's resolve.
"Our pensioners on a fixed income can not afford for this to happen to their healthcare," said Shelley.
The collective bargaining agreement between MidAmerican, the parent company of Energy West, and UMWA miners and employees, expired in early January. The two sides have been embroiled in a tense negotiation since.
In May, more than 50 active, retired and widowed members of the UMWA left Carbon County to picket Berkshire Hathaway's annual stockholders meeting and the corporate offices of MidAmerican Energy in Iowa.
While officials representing MidAmerican would not address specific questions concerning the negotiations, they did provide the following statement this spring:
"Energy West Mining Company is bargaining in good faith with union leadership and has been for several months," said Maria O'Mara, spokesperson for Energy West Mining Company. "Both have made many proposals that have been discussed. Energy West Mining is committed to a resolution that is fair to both employees and customers, protects our commitment to safety and keeps costs competitive."
Another union negotiating with subsidiaries of MidAmerican in Utah, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers accepted a new contract with PacifiCorp via a June 18 vote.

A driver passing through Carbon County on Monday morning reported that his truck thermometer read -39 degrees F on Monday morning.
While vehicle thermometers are not the most accurate measure of temperature, everyone knows that whether it is -39 F or not, it has been very cold since Christmas. And the latest wave of cold since the storm passed through last week is even colder
No one has missed that.
From vehicles with dead batteries to diesel engines that won't start, all across the state and the local area people are having trouble. After last year's very mild winter, many were not prepared for this winter's onslaught.
"We have seen an uptick in all kinds of problems with vehicles," said Joe Piccolo, owner of Supreme Muffler in Price. "We have frozen radiators, oil that won't move, drive lines breaking, dead batteries and a lot more. When it gets this cold, below zero with it never getting above freezing, it affects all the moving parts."
While temperatures in the area vary depending on where one is, only official temperatures are placed on the record. And where that site is can make a difference. While there are a number of weather stations in the area, the Carbon County Airport is the official station. It is located at a slightly higher altitude than much of the surrounding area, so that could result in a difference in temperatures reported from the area in general.
As for a record cold temperature officially, the area has approached that during this cold spell, but has not broken it yet according to records that go back to 1968. The lowest temperature recorded for January since that time was in 1971 when the official low was -15 F.
That was the coldest temperature in any month since then, even though it can get very cold in December and February. February's record is -10 F in 1985 and December's is -14 in 1990.
This week's low temperatures also have Questar Gas customers across the state reaching for their thermostats. As a result, the company reports record natural gas deliveries for the 24-hour period ending at 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning. More than 1.2 million decatherms (Dth) of gas flowed through Questar Gas's distribution system. The previous record was set in 2011 when more than 1.1 million Dth were delivered in a 24-hour period.
Last year, natural gas usage never exceeded 1 million Dth in a 24-hour period; this year, there have been nine days where deliveries exceeded more than 1 million Dth. Last year's weather, however, was not typical of January, with it being much more mild across the Intermountain area.
"Keeping our customers warm is our first priority," said Craig Wagstaff, Questar Gas executive vice president and COO. "Our customers rely on us most right now because natural gas is their primary fuel for heat. Delivering that fuel requires careful management of natural gas pressures through more than 26,000 miles of buried pipelines to more than 930,000 homes and businesses.
Everyone in Utah who has natural gas heat should also be bracing for higher bills when they come in at the end of the month.
"Higher gas usage means higher bills and we realize this can be particularly tough for customers on limited incomes," said Wagstaff. "There are programs that can help. Federal assistance is available through the Home Energy Assistance Target (HEAT) program. Questar Gas employees and customers also donate to the REACH program, which is administered by the American Red Cross. Customers with limited income can call 211 for information about these and other assistance programs in Utah. Customers can also find energy-saving tips to help them reduce their gas usage and their bill at ThermWise.com."
When it comes to power usage, the winter, despite the short days and long heater fan run times, is not as big as it is in the summer when air conditioning units are running.
"Our peak time for power usage is in the summer," said the Maria O'Mara, the manager or external communications for Rocky Mountain Power on Wednesday morning. "We probably have certain areas where people have just electric heat that are up in usage, but overall this cold weather is not a time when we set records."
The cold weather is also affecting the populations besides human beings. Pets can suffer greatly during cold weather if not taken care of. Some pets have no places for them to get out of the cold and lack fresh drinkable water. Some animals adapt to the cold very well, while others do not. Owners should be sure pets are watched over and have what they need during a cold spell.
Domestic animals are not the only ones faced with deadly consequences of very cold temperatures. Officials with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are concerned about cold temperatures and how those temperatures might affect deer if the weather doesn't warm up soon. Since the start of December, DWR biologists have been monitoring deer herds across Utah. There are five factors biologists monitor to determine how well the deer are doing. They include the condition of the deer as they entered the winter, the amount of food that's available to the deer on winter ranges, how deep the snow is, how cold the temperature have been and the amount of body fat they find on deer that have been killed along roads.
Anis Aoude, big game coordinator for the DWR, says one of the five factors-the temperature-has reached a critical point in some areas in Utah. However, despite the cold temperatures, Aoude says Utah's deer herds are doing well.
"Fortunately deer went into the winter with an average layer of fat on them," he said. "And the snow depth in most of the state is not covering the vegetation. Slopes that face south are nearly bare in some areas, so the deer can still find food."
If conditions deteriorate, biologists will consider feeding deer specially designed pellets. The pellets are formulated to fit the complex digestive system mule deer have. The pellets are also designed to give deer extra energy. Extra energy is something deer often need when the temperature is cold and the snow is deep. Aoude says DWR biologists will continue to monitor the deer herds closely.
"If feeding becomes necessary," he says, "we'll make sure it's done at the right time and with the right type of food."
The public needs to know that there are things they can do to help the situation.
Anytime a deer is disturbed, it has to burn some of its precious fat reserves to try to escape the threat.
With that in mind, not disturbing deer is one of the best things you can do to help deer in the winter. People who are in the back country with their dogs should keep them on a leash. When encountering deer while hiking, skiing or snowmobiling, give the animals plenty of space, and remain as quiet as you can. Slow down while driving through areas where deer live. It's especially important to drive slowly at dawn and dusk, when deer are most active. Also pay attention to wildlife crossing signs and watch for movement along the side of the road. If one deer is spotted, there's a good chance other deer are nearby. Go to www.watchfordeerutah.com-provides more information about deer behavior and how to drive safely in deer country.
Jeff Richens, general manager of the Price River Water Improvement District, said his office has been getting about two or three calls a day from customers with frozen pipes. There are two simple things people can do to mitigate the situation, he said.
First, if sinks are along outside walls, it means the pipes leading to them are along the coldest walls in the house. Opening cabinet doors around those pipes will let warm air circulate. Another technique is to open an interior faucet slightly. The stream doesn't have to be much - just the thickness of a pencil lead, the point where the water comes out in a steady trickle instead of drops.

Twenty thousand dollars. That's how much the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimates the least expensive health insurance plan available under ObamaCare will cost the average family in 2016.
The IRS issued a 73-page final regulation on January 30 to "provide guidance on the liability for the shared responsibility payment for not maintaining minimum essential coverage." In other words, the agency was telling Americans what insurance they must have in order to avoid paying the penalty for noncompliance with the law — and what that penalty will be if they fail to comply.
Under ObamaCare, individuals not obtaining health coverage through their employers must purchase government-approved insurance on state exchanges. There will be four tiers of coverage: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Bronze is the lowest tier and therefore the least expensive.
Failure to purchase insurance will result in a tax penalty "capped at either the annual average Bronze premium, 2.5 percent of taxable income, or $2,085.00 per family in 2016," according to CNSNews.com.
Buried in the examples of how to calculate the penalty under different scenarios is this revelation: "The annual national average bronze plan premium for a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children) is $20,000." (The IRS also assumes this is the cost for a family of four.)
The median household income in the United States at the end of 2011 was $50,054 and falling. For a family of five with that income, the cheapest health insurance available under ObamaCare will consume 40 percent of their earnings. The penalty for not having insurance will be far lower, giving these families a major incentive not to buy insurance until they need it — one of the things ObamaCare was supposed to prevent.

A Watertown man faces drug charges after crack cocaine with an estimated street value of $4,500 allegedly was found in his possession during a traffic stop Tuesday morning on Interstate 81.
Hakim T. Elquhir, 31, of 1212 Superior St., Apt. D14, was charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance after nearly 2 ounces of the drug was found in a clear plastic bag next to his groin area, according to Watertown City Court documents.
A Jefferson County sheriffs deputy became suspicious after his police dog made a hit on the vehicle at 8:20 a.m., said Chris Cuppernell, supervisor of the Metro-Jeff Drug Task Force.
A search warrant subsequently was issued and members of the drug task force searched the vehicle. Police said Mr. Elquhir, whom they described as a significant drug dealer, was returning from New York City.
He was arraigned before Watertown City Judge Eugene R. Renzi and was sent to the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building with bail set at $20,000. He also was cited with having a suspended license.

Generally, when the word dykes and Berkeley are used in the same sentence, a specific image is formed. Of organic females and calloused hands. That cliche is no longer accurate:
On Wednesday, Cal officially hired Louisiana Tech head coach Sonny Dykes, known for his high-octane spread offenses, to lead the football team.
As the 33rd coach in Cal program history, Dykes will take over for Jeff Tedford, who was fired Nov. 20 after a 3-9 campaign this season.
"I am excited for the opportunity to become head coach at the University of California," Dykes said in a statement Wednesday evening. " I'm looking forward to bringing our exciting and enthusiastic brand of football to Berkeley."
In Dykes' three years at the helm in Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs went 22-15. In 2011, Dykes was named WAC Coach of the Year for leading his squad to its first league title in 10 years and a trip to the Poinsettia Bowl. Louisiana Tech was ranked as high as No. 19 in 2012 and finished the regular season with a 9-3 record.
Go Bears! And go, ummmmm, Dykes!

ISLANDERS at CAROLINA, 7:00 pm – NYI Sign GilliesGordon wants team to "put somebody on their ass"
Backchecking with … Ryan O'Byrne
UPDATED at 6:00 pm – The Islanders have signed enforcer Trevor Gillies, who has been fighting and playing this season in Bridgeport. He has one goal and 123 penalty minutes in 18 games with the Sound Tigers.
Gillies will join the Islanders on Friday and could play in the bring-the-kids matinee against the Broad Street Brawlers on Saturday. Seems the Islanders have decided a four-minute enforcer may be useful after all.
Scott Gordon does not need his team to become the Broad Street Bullies. He's not asking all of his players to morph into Steve Webbs. But the coach does want to see his team hit a lot more than they did in the last week, when the Islanders lost three of four games.
"For us to be successful, our whole team needs to be playing physically," Gordon told Point Blank. "Sometimes when a team gets on a roll in the offensive zone, it forgets about doing all the dirty work. The reason we've had success scoring goals is because we initiated the contact, because we were the team drawing the penalties leading to 5-on-4 situations. There's no question there has been some slippage in that area."
Asked about aggressive young veterans like Blake Comeau and Sean Bergenheim, Gordon was emphatic that the Islanders' drop-off in physical play was not about them or any other specific players. The coach will demand it from everyone, starting tonight in Carolina.
"We're not as good as we may think we are sometimes," said Gordon. "We need everyone contributing in every aspect of the game. When it comes to hitting, everyone on our team has to get involved. Everyone on our roster is capable. There's no reason why all our guys can't step up, play the body and put somebody on their ass."
Five days ago, if the Islanders could have won that third period against New Jersey, they would have earned the two points needed to be in sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Again faced with the opportunity to claim sixth place on Tuesday with a win at home over Washington, the Islanders were creamed by John Erskine and the Capitals.
Now it's Thursday, and guess what? Maybe tonight's the night the Islanders make their move in the bad, bad East. Carolina is playing much better of late, but they played last night in New York while the Islanders rested in Raleigh.
11:15 am – Rick DiPietro is tonight's starter. In a stunner, looks like Jeff Tambellini will be the healthy scratch.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A Buffalo police officer has been suspended and more disciplinary action could follow after an internal and criminal investigation is complete.
The internal investigation within the Buffalo Police Department started about 2 weeks ago. One Buffalo Police officer has been suspended, and further disciplinary action is pending, possibly against other officers.
The department isn't able to say much right now -- because the investigation is ongoing.
But we've learned from sources that this has to do with an allegation that at least one police officer stole a dog. A source tells us the allegations were very serious, possibly up to the felony level. However any decision on charges will be up to the district attorney
Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita was not in the office Tuesday, so we were not able to get comment from him. At this point, we aren't able to report on anymore specifics about the allegations, just that the officer and possibly officers were involved in the theft.
A Buffalo Police Spokesperson said the department is working with the district attorney's office. The department is not able to release the name of the officer who was suspended. However, a source tells us it is a high-ranking member of the Buffalo Police Department.

For those of us who weren�t bright enough to grab our own Kleenex, the sleeves or edges of our purple and white T-shirts would have to do.
Though most of the more than 500 people who converged on the Denver Doubletree Hotel last month had their own story that brought them to the inaugural Relay for Life Chair Summit, as with most Relay for Life gatherings, it brought tears to the eyes of even the toughest participant.
The common thread that holds this group, the Great West Division, together is their story of cancer, and it was those stories that highlighted the event.
Marking its 20th year, Relay for Life is the signature fundraising event of the American Cancer Society. However, the relay, which involves more than three million Americans, is more than just a fund-raiser. It is a celebration of life supporting those who are fighting cancer, remembering those who have lost their battle to the disease, and representing the hope that one day cancer will be eliminated.
Funds from the more than 4,000 relay events nationwide are used for community programs and services for cancer patients and their families, to assist in expanding research, and to provide greater access to cancer information.
Hundreds of volunteers and staff members from the Great West Division, comprised of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and North Dakota, attended the leadership summit, which took place Oct. 21-23 in Denver, Colo.
Central Utah representatives attending the summit included Sandy Phillips, Sevier County; Sherry King and Becky Kloepfer, Carbon County; Cathy Sitterud and Debbie Wilson, Emery County; and Dori Kelsch, ACS community relationship manager.
The three-day event was designed as an opportunity for participants to network resources and ideas, as well as enhance leadership skills in committee, team, and community development.
An awards dinner recognized the top per capita and net income winners within the division, which is credited with earning $19.8 million of the nearly $305 million raised this year through Relay for Life celebrations.
Carbon County Relay took second place in the 15,000-19,000 population division, bringing in $3.71 per capita. King and Kloepfer accepted the award on behalf of the Carbon relay.
The Great West Division, with a population of 30.3 million, averaged 65 cents per capita.

Sorry, Im not buying the "Gold or nothing culture" as an excuse to not show up today. The US hasnt won a gold in 34 years, yet they are so arrogant that they are going to lay down in a bronze game? Please.
I agree that Blysma's inability to get this group on board to act like a team is on him, just like he was unable to adjust to the Bruins in the semis last year. He got a lot of credit for holding his group together after a bunch of injuries a couple years ago, but this guy has done not much of anything lately with tons of talent in front of him.
Id have wanted Yandle, but I dont believe a couple differences in players had anything to do with it. The team had an entitled disinterest today. Maybe thats the NHL way, but it has to fall on Blysma.
They were beat by a better team vs Canada (and yes the score was not indicative of the game), but today's mental check-out was embarrassing.

As can be seen in the trailer that was released last month, the game characters are from a middle-ages sort of world and through some turn of events manage to find their way into modern day Tokyo. According to the official website, the characters are part of a group of warriors known as "Samurai" in a country known as "Mikado Kuni of the East" that is ruled by king "Ahazuyamikado." The Samurai are chosen through a "Gauntlet Ceremony" and wear special gauntlets that allow them to summon and control demons into battle; a technology beyond the means of their civilization. Players take the part of a young man from the village of "Kichijouji" who is chosen to be a Samurai. Strangely enough, the other members who are chosen along with him are all people he met in a strange dream.
Aside from the main cast of protagonists, Atlus has released information about two major characters in the game.
Hope—The leader who commands the Samurai. After being chosen as Samurai, the protagonists receive orders from Hope. While strict about missions, Hope is lenient about rules and regulations. Hope feels strongly about the people he has sworn to protect.
Isakal (spelling is unofficial)—Like the main character, Isakal is from the village of Kichijouji and is a close friend. Isakal travels to Castle Mikado with the main character to take part in the Gauntlet Ceremony. Isakal has a strong desire to be chosen as a Samurai.
Shin Megami Tensei IV is scheduled for release in 2013.

Score one for the little guy and for the right of all people to freely exercise religion as protected by the First Amendment.
A story published at LifeNews.com reports that a "family-run business is the latest to beat the Obama administration's HHS mandate in court." The business boldly asserting its rights is the Seneca Hardwood Lumber Company.
Courthouse News Service provided the following recap of the case so far and a description of Seneca Hardwood, including an account of the owners' religious beliefs that compelled them to take on the president:
Geneva College, a Christian liberal arts college set in Beaver Falls, Penn., sued the Obama administration and demanded an injunction to the women's preventive health care regulations of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.
Seneca Hardwood Lumber Co., of Cranberry, Penn., and two of its owners, Wayne Hepler and Carrie Kolesar, joined the lawsuit in June 2012. Hepler also sued on behalf of WLH Enterprises, a sawmill with six full-time employees, five of whom are covered under the Seneca health insurance plan, which begins its next plan year on July 1. The plan also covers 19 of the lumber company's 22 full-time employees, including Kolesar's husband and Hepler.
Hepler and his 13 children participate extensively in both Catholic and pro-life activities and are committed to the Church's teachings on human life and sexuality, the complaint states. Hepler built and runs a Catholic retreat house and was a board member for several years for the Couple to Couple League, a national Catholic group dedicated to "natural family planning."
Seneca makes charitable donations to Catholic causes, and Hepler even built a chapel on business premises.
The Heplers say their sincerely held religious beliefs prohibit them from intentionally participating in, paying for, facilitating, or otherwise supporting the use of abortifacient drugs, contraception, sterilization, and related education and counseling through their company's health insurance plan, which does not have grandfathered status.

Buried within NBC's lengthy mid-season schedule announcement was the news that Revolution will take about a four-month hiatus, from its last fall original on November 26 to its spring return March 25, 2013. The new drama Deception will air in the Monday 10pm time period starting on January 7.
The question is whether the long break will hurt the show. Much longer hiatuses have become standard for hit cable dramas, with the breaks whetting viewers appetites and allowing new viewers to discover (and marathon) the show via online streaming. But broadcast television is still a different beast. Big breaks did no favors for the ill-fated genre shows Flash Forward and The Event. Make your prediction about Revolution's fate, then explain your reasoning in the comments.

Learn More About Soft Shell Jackets
Perfect for layering and ideal in mild temperatures, soft shell jackets allow you to customize your level of warmth.
Soft shell jackets are breathable, flexible outerwear that's more lightweight than their hard-shell counterparts. Soft shells are crafted for waterproof durability and easy layering, so you can adapt to changing weather conditions.
Select soft shell jacket for men, women, boys and girls. Shop a variety of styles and hues for the jacket that matches your personality and adventure. Find winter outerwear from popular brands, like The North Face® and Columbia®,
Expert Advice
Soft shell jackets are stretch-woven outerwear designed for comfort and lightweight warmth.
Your soft shell jacket can transition with you as the weather changes. In extreme cold, layer your soft shell over a thermal baselayer or fleece jacket. When the weather is mild, wear your soft shell alone for the perfect level of warmth. In wet conditions, your soft shell repels and blocks moisture for total protection.
Soft shell jackets are much more flexible than hard shell outerwear, so they bend, stretch and flex with you, providing a full range of motion during winter sports. Always ensure your soft shell jacket is both wind and waterproof.
For hiking, climbing and skiing, select a soft shell jacket that is constructed with four-way stretch fabrication, providing comfort while in motion. Performance fabrication on your soft shell jacket wicks away perspiration and moisture in key areas keeping fresh and dry on the move.
For total utility, look for soft shell jackets that come with elastic-bound cuffs and thumbholes. Hand-warming pockets give you the perfect place to stash away small essentials on the go.

Sellout Crowd Lifts Men's Basketball to 107-61 Win in Opener
OMAHA, Neb. -- Doug McDermott scored 20 points in 20 minutes to lead five players in double-figures as Creighton men's basketball opened up the 2013-14 season with a 107-61 win over Alcorn State on Friday night. The 107 points was tied for the eighth-most points in school history, and most ever in a season opener.
The game was played before a sellout crowd of 17,740, the largest season-opening crowd in program history and ninth-largest ever.
In addition to McDermott's 20, also in double-digits for CU was Devin Brooks (15), Ethan Wragge (15), Jahenns Manigat (13) and Will Artino (12).
Alcorn State was paced by 16 points form Octavius Brown and Twann Oakley.
McDermott was honored prior to the game as Creighton's all-time leading scorer, then hit lay-ups on each of the first three possessions to spearhead a Bluejay offense that sank its first five shots. CU led 16-7 after a corner three-pointer by Ethan Wragge, only to have ASU rally to take a 23-22 lead at the midpoint of the first half.
The Jays would respond with a 12-0 burst, getting four points each from McDermott and Artino, and would not be threatened again. CU led 52-33 at the break, led by 18 points from McDermott.
A halfitme pep talk helped Creighton clamp down defensively in the second stanza, which saw the Jays outscore the Braves 25-4 in the first 9:32. Key in the burst was a 16-0 run capped by a Zach Hanson hoop inside that made it 77-40.
Creighton broke the 100-point milestone on a Brooks free throw with 2:29 left. The Bluejay lead would reach as large as 51 points on two occasions before settling for the 107-61 margin.
Creighton shot 55.6 percent from the field, including 11-of-24 from downtown and 26-of-36 at the line. CU won the rebound battle 45-26 and owned 25 assists on 35 baskets while owning just six turnovers. The Bluejays outscored the ASU bench 54-16, 33-2 off turnovers and 17-2 on the break.
Creighton returns to action on Monday night with a 7:02 pm contest vs. UMKC (0-1).
NOTES: Creighton's 107 points were its most in an opener, one more than the 106-50 win vs. Texas-Arlington in 2002-03 ...Eight of Creighton's previous 18 NCAA Tournament teams scored 90 or more points in the season opener ...Doug McDermott's lay-up on CU's first trip moved him atop CU's all-time record in field goals with 812. He entered the year tied with Chad Gallagher (1987-91) ...Doug McDermott's streak of 28 straight free throws was snapped. it was tied for fourth-longest in program history ...Creighton has won 28 straight home games vs. winless teams dating to 1994 ...Alcorn State has lost 42 straight non-conference road games by an average of 28.5 points ...Creighton is 42-0 all-time in home games on or before Nov. 26th ...Creighton has won every Friday home game its played since 1989 by double-digits and hasn't lost a Friday home game since 1975 ...Creighton improved to 81-15 on opening day, with 10 of the past 14 by 20+ points ...Creighton is now 85-11 in home openers all-time after its 19th straight home opening victory ...Greg McDermott has won 12 straight regular-season openers.

PENINSULA -- This week's snow and cold temperatures has been great news for skiers.
Boston Mills Ski Resort, which is currentlyreporting a 6-10" base, opened for the season at 3 p.m.Friday.
Brandywine, its nearby sister location, opens at 3 p.m. Saturday.
Since it is opening weekend, not every trail will be open. So, before you strap on the skis and hit the slopes, be sure to check theirsnow report to see which trails are open for the day.
"With cold temperatures in the forecast we will be able to pound away at snowmaking and start to open more terrain quickly," a post on the resorts' website says.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
Synthetic Fuels Corporation has a coal-to-diesel fuel conversion plant in Wyoming's Powder River Basin and is looking for a place to build another one.
"What we're doing in Wyoming, we hope to duplicate in Carbon County," James Nairne told county commissioners in a presentation Wednesday afternoon. Nairne, the chief executive officer of the Dallas-based firm, explained that Carbon is attractive because it is close to its feed stock - coal - and also close to potential customers for its diesel fuel output.
The logic of locating here follows Nairne's reasoning for why his company should be changing coal into liquid fuel in the first place. Namely, that there is the equivalent of 1.2 trillion barrels of oil locked in American coal reserves.
Second, barrels of synthetic fuel produced here are barrels of oil not imported, important to reducing the nation's trade deficit. Fifty-five percent of that deficit is attributed to imported oil.
Third, sulfur, mercury and other pollutants are all removed in the conversion process, so the synthetic fuel is cleaner than either coal or petroleum.
Nairne told the commission that this wouldn't be a gigantic project, providing about 100 plant and office jobs while converting about 800 tons of coal per day if it operates at the same scale as the plant near Gillette, Wyo.
"So what can we do to help?" came the question from the commission. Nothing at this point, Nairne replied. He'll be working mainly with economic development director DeLynn Fielding for a few months evaluating the feasibility of locating here, then maybe two years on financing and permitting. So contruction is three years away.
After the meeting, a visitor asked him if the water supply in Carbon County would be adequate for the chemical processes. Nairne replied that water would be part of the evaluation process for site selection.
The process is not new, but it has been refined over the decades. It's called the Fischer-Tropsch Conversion, named after the chemists who discovered it back in the 1920s. Germany and Japan used it during World War II. Essentially, it breaks down coal into carbon monoxide and hydrogen, then recombines them under heat and pressure into molecular chains of carbon and hydrogen that make liquid fuel.

Mets 'keeping an eye' on RHP Brandon Webb
The Mets, Phillies, Braves and Marlins are all "keeping an eye" on RHP Brandon Webb, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.
Michael Baron, ContributorWebb hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since 2009 thanks to arm problems, but he is a former Cy Young Award winner and was a dominant sinkerballer prior to that season. He has historically been equally as effective against both left-handed and right-handed hitters and kept the ball in the yard thanks to his outstanding sinker. But how that effectiveness might translate today would largely depend on how healthy he is and how much he has left in the tank. If the Mets were to sign Webb, he certainly could not be depended on as a consistent presence in the rotation, let alone for the kind of innings and production he provided in the past.
Statistics and information on Brandon Webb...
Stats: Webb, 33, is 87-62 with a 3.21 ERA in 199 games and 198 starts in seven seasons with the Diamondbacks. He hasn't pitched in the Major Leagues since 2009, and has not pitched a full season since 2008.

LUBBOCK, Texas — Markel Brown kept firing Wednesday night. And making.
And yeah, Brown found himself experiencing a Kansas flashback.
LUBBOCK, Texas — Markel Brown kept firing Wednesday night. And making.
And yeah, Brown found himself experiencing a Kansas flashback.
"I did, I did," said Brown, who torched Texas Tech for seven 3-pointers in the first half, matching his total against KU. "I just came out shooting lights out. And it was fun to do. I think my teammates enjoyed it. It was a great win to get."
Maybe not a win carrying the same impact of that conquest in Lawrence, yet No. 17 Oklahoma State's 91-67 rout of the Red Raiders in United Spirit Arena was nonetheless significant.
Because with it, the Cowboys' surge continues, all the way to the top of the Big 12 standings.
Maintaining the league's hottest current run with a sixth straight win, OSU moved into a first-place tie atop the conference standings. Improving to 18-5 overall, the Cowboys moved to 8-3 in the Big 12, matching Kansas and Kansas State at the top.
And all this comes just in time for Bedlam on Saturday inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
Sound like fun?
"Chaos," said Cowboys forward Michael Cobbins, who recorded his first career double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds against Tech.
OSU won seven conference games all of last season, when it missed the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. Now the Cowboys seem assured of a tournament berth, at the minimum, with much more still left to secure in the form of a conference crown and a possible high seed.
"It's a blessing to come out of here and be tied for first," Brown said. "Picked third in this league (in the preseason), now we're fighting at the top to win the Big 12.
"We've got OU Saturday, it's going to be a good game. A good rivalry game. We'll just take them one at a time and hopefully finish at the top." Against Tech, Brown took his 3s in bunches.
He went 7-for-8 from the arc in 18 first-half minutes and 8-of-9 from the floor overall.
Did Brown catch the Red Raiders by surprise?

We understand that researching the Kent State events from a distance can be difficult. There are many good websites that not only offer good secondary resources, but primary material as well.
Also, the Kent State Library's Department of Special Collections offers a National History Day page where they have linked various helpfull items from their vast collections. That is an excellent place to start as well.
Because of the nature of the Kent State Shootings, it is advisable to focus on a certain aspect of the events or on individual(s) who can be seen as "Taking a Stand".
Throughout the past 35 years, many students have chosen various aspects of the shootings. Below is a sample of topics that have been used:
|Music of May 4, 1970
|Student Reaction in 1970
|The Nixon Administration's involvement in Kent State
|Community Reaction in 1970
|Annual commemoration
|Press Coverage in 1970
|Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes
|Biographies of the Slain Students
|Students for a Democratic Society
|Biographies of the Wounded Students
|Memorials to the KSU Shootings
|Ohio National Guard Background
|Kent State and the Boston Massacre
|KSU Communication Processes
|Kent State and Tianamin Square
|KSU in exile
|The Parents' Struggle for justice
|The history of The May 4 Task Force
|Terry Norman
|Charles Thomas
|The Scranton Commission
|Tent City - 1977
Oral histories have been a large part of pieceing together the history of Kent State on May 4, 1970. Several of these accounts are available on-line.
Dean Kahler (2000), this is a short documentary in his own words produced by WAOH in 2000. Dean tells his story about what brought him to be near the parking lot on May 4, 1970, while sitting in his wheel-chair. (Dean Kahler was permaninetly paralyzed as a result of the shootings.)
May 4 Oral History Project (1990-present), 60+ entries from this oral history project were recently put on-line, It shows a variety of view-points and degrees of involevment in the events - from students, faculty and community members.
Alan Canfora, who was wounded on May 4, 1970 often assists with research and interviews. He can be reached through www.AlanCanfora.com
A few documentaries have been produced about the shootings that are worth looking for in your local library. Most are available at the Kent State University library, AV department (3rd floor), Some are with Special Collections (12th floor).
C-Span. Sponsored by the May 4 Task Force, this two hour panel discussion with audience questions is titled "Looking Back, Looking Forward". Panelists: Dean Kahler, Jim Russell, Joe Lewis, Rita Rubin-Long, Greg Schwartz, Erin Roof. Moderator Mike Lee, introduction by Sarah Lund-Goldstein.
Ardustry Home Entertainment ; Novel City Pictures presents ; produced by Tyler Davidson and Scott Lax ; screenplay and direction by Jay Craven Filmed in nearby Hiram, Ohio. Starring Jonathan Brandis, Kiera Chaplin, Jay R. Ferguson, Charlie Finn, Henry Gibson, Marin Hinkle, Meredith Monroe, Martin Mull, Sean Nelson, Bill Raymond, Jonathan M. Woodward, Fred Willard. A powerful 1970s coming-of-age drama, war chronicle and unconventional love story set in the shadow of Kent State's turbulent events. Follows a group of young people caught up in events that will transform their lives in ways they cannot imagine. A haunting portrait of a time when passions ignited a nation and choices became a matter of life and death.
Produced by Partners in Motion and Single Spark Pictures for the Learning Channel and History Television ; produced by Ron Goetz ; directed by Chris Triffo Through interviews with participants, the viewer is transported back to 1970. *Recently released on DVD with Phil Caputo's Thirteen Seconds. The package is worth buying just for the DVD. This film is supposed to be required viewing for all Kent State freshmen in Orientation classes (though some sections report that they didn't see it).
A mini-series produced by VH-1. It supposedly follows four Kent Staet students through the decade of the 1970's. It is not very accurate - and takes a "Forest Gump" trip to make sure that at least one of the four main characters does something with major events in the decade.
Produced by CBS News Productions in association with the History Channel. Narrated by Mike Wallace. An excellent video with detailed interviews with parents, wounded and others.
A short segment on the shootings explores the song "Ohio" by Neil Young, recorded by Crosby, Stills. nash and Young just a few weeks after the shootings. Chrissie Hynde fromt he pretenders is also interviewed.
Explores current Kent State University student's views of the shootings twenty years after the events.
A mini-series produced by NBC in 1980 at the ten year anniversary of the shootings. Greg Payne's book Mayday recalls some of the behind the scenes stories of making this film. It did win an Emmy in 1981.
Narrated by E.G. Marshal, this short film may be available through inter-library loan. It is the best film that walks the viewer through the shootings on the campus as it looked near the time of the shootings. (More recent films reflect major changes to the campus.) It does have that old filmstrip feeling to it, but the content is excellent.
A film by Mary Leed, Jake Leed, Richard Myers, Pat Myers, Robert Ohlrich, Carla Ruff, Mel Someroski, Mike Tarr.
A film that interviews reporters covering the story. Interviews several news reporters, showing how they determined the facts and interpreted the events of the 1970 shootings by Ohio National Guardsmen aimed at student Vietnam War protesters at Kent State University. Gives background and footage of events, like the burning of the campus ROTC building, which led to the occupation of the campus by the guard and the escalation of tensions that followed.
