FREEPORT, Maine(NEWS CENTER) -- The Jameson Tavern building has been a fixture in downtown Freeport since 1779, and has been home to a popular restaurant for the last 20 years, but it abruptly shut its doors at the end of last week.
A sign posted on the door of the restaurant states Jameson Tavern is closed until further notice, and the owners could not be reached for comment Monday.
Freeport USA, a member organization designed to promote business and tourism in town, said it has reached out to Jameson Tavern owners and employees offering help in finding other opportunities in the community.
The sudden closure of the restaurant has left many in town shocked.
"It's a familiar face to Freeport," Linda Bean's Maine Kitchen Manager and Freeport USA Board Member Matt Morrison said. "It's something everybody knows and everybody likes. I'm sure something will come about soon and hopefully it will reopen."
Freeport USA Executive Director Janet Dutson said while the closure of Jameson Tavern does leave a void in the community, economic officials remain hopeful for the future.
"There's been a lot of growth recently. We've had some new restaurants like Linda Bean's Maine Kitchen and Freeport Seafood Company," Dutson said. "We also have some old standbys that everybody loves like Azure Cafe."
Dutson said there has also been talk of new restaurants and retail stores coming to town, such as Old Navy and Sperry outlet stores, as well as Siano's Pizzeria potentially reopening on Main Street.
Freeport USA has also said there are plans for future events to promote the food industry in town.

High Country Council of Governments is developing a bike plan for Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, and Wilkes Counties. The Plan is intended to improve safety, access, and mobility for cyclists by developing a network of designated routes that connect municipalities and other major destinations in the region.
The Plan will identify needed improvements to existing roadways, prioritize the improvements, and develop a signage plan to mark the identified routes. As part of the planning process, a citizen survey has been developed to gather input on current cycling use, challenges, and desired improvements. The survey consists of 23 questions, and is geared towards cyclists and non-cyclists alike.
The survey is available online through Survey Monkey. The website address is:
The survey will be available online through May 4, 2012. Please take the approximately 10-12 minutes to complete the survey. If you have any questions about the survey, contact High Country Council of Governments at 828-265-5434.
The High Country Council of Governments is a voluntary association of the seven Counties and 19 Towns located in the northern mountains of North Carolina. The Council is one of 16 multi-county planning regions in the state and serves as a cooperative extension of local governments. The agency was established in 1974 by the member governments as provided for in NC General Statutes.

|NC Court of Appeals Rules for Avery Schools
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 30 July 2012 11:55
The N.C. Court of Appeals ruled last week unanimously in favor of the Avery County school board in a lawsuit filed by a former student. The girl alleged she was sexually abused by a school resource officer in incidents between 2005 and 2007while at Avery High School.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that the court found the school system had governmental immunity from liability and ordered the case remanded to Avery County Superior Court for a summary judgment in favor of the school system. The suit claimed Michael Darcy, who was 43 at the time, sexually assaulted the girl—15 at the time—in his office at Avery County High School. Darcy was arrested on federal charges in 2009, charged with transporting the girl from North Carolina to South Carolina with intent to engage in sexual activity and traveling out of the state for the purpose of engaging in illicit sexual conduct. He was convicted and sentenced to prison, according to federal court records. The lawsuit also alleged that the school principal saw the student and resource officer together at dinner and questioned them about their relationship, and that Avery Sheriff Kevin Frye "knew or should have known of the substantial risk" Darcy posed to the student." The suit against the Avery Sheriff's Department was not appealed and is also dismissed. An appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court is not automatic because the Appeals Court ruling was unanimous.

If you would like to make a contribution in aid of SANCCOB's work to care for these beautiful birds, please visit our website www.sanccob.co.za/donate. If you do spot any of these (or other birds) in distress or in a weak state, urgently call SANCCOB's24-hour emergency seabird rescue service:

Swift tern chicks rescued after perilous plunge
24 March 2015
A large number of Swift tern chicks are undergoing rehabilitation at SANCCOB (Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds) after leaping from a high-rise building in the V&A Waterfront. The recent rise in temperatures in Cape Town caused most of the adult birds to temporarily leave the nests in order to escape the heat. Unfortunately, many of the the chicks followed suit without being able to properly fly yet and plummeted to the bottom of the building.

I was a patient of Dr. Cheema's for almost 18 years and was always caring, concerned and helpful. Amber and Misty are the greatest office anyone can ask for. I was extremely lucky to have Dr. Cheema as my PCP. Unfortunately, he is no longer in general practice and other doctors and staff have took over the practice. It has been such a day & night difference, I could cry. Needless to say I'm in the process of finding a new doctor, which isnt easy. No one can compare to Dr. Cheema, he's the best!

I was a patient of Dr. Cheema's for approximately 5 years. During that time I enjoyed our doctor-patient relationship however, his staff became a challenge to deal with and as a result I have chosen a new doctor.

I have been a patient of Dr. Cheema for over 8 years and I am extremely pleased with his compassion, courtesy, and extensive knowledge. Dr. Cheema's staff is top rate as well and I have always been treated with the utmost respect and never feel rushed. In addition, I have never waited for longer than 15 minutes and the wait time is usually 5 minutes. Misty and Amber are always on top of referrals, prescription refills, or any questions or concerns.

The staff is extremely helpful and Dr. Cheema is very knowledgeable. Unlike other doctors I have had in the past, Dr. Cheema never rushes and takes his time to answer my concerns and explain the things to me in great detail. He and his team makes sure that I have a pleasant visit. I recommend Dr. Cheema very highly. I will never go to another doctor.

Rating: 5.00 out of 3 votes cast
classy and flattering
This arrived very well packed and with hardly a wrinkle. The fabric is a nice heavy weight but not scratchy. The style is flattering because it hits above the waist. It's professional but feminine. I like the little pleats in the back.A nice change from the classic blazer look, and I plan to wear it to church.Thanks, Chadwick's for something new and refreshing in a pantsuit!
Gorgeous and Elegant
This suit is really elegant and gorgeous. Perfect fitting and everyone like it.
Fajardo, Puerto Rico
Comfy/No wrinkles
This is a nice, different kind of suit. Very big plus of no iron/no wrinkles. Fit is very relaxed, legs are wide but flattering, sizing is perfect, not itchy or scratchy at all. Color is nice. I prefer more blue, but it still matches everything. Most of the time I wear the pants w/a black top & black heels or boots.

Sabi is more than just another bean bag. Sabi is a compact, yet stable support system that was designed by photographers simply trying to hold still while they shoot. The innovative double-pillow design lets you adapt to whatever the situation without the bulk of traditional bean bags. There is no 'wrong' way to use a Sabi; they are designed for versatility. Great for shooting from the car, rocks, tree stumps, or just on the ground. Sabi is perfect for those times when a tripod just doesn't make sense.
Sabi comes in two sizes and can accommodate any glass size. Sabi super is a smarter 'molar style' bag that features a rugged pebbled non-slip surface.
Made in the USA of heavy-duty, PU-coated CORDURA® fabrics and reinforced with double stitching, Sabi will hold up to abuse. Sabi's quality construction features a concealed zipper with a leak-stop tab to keep the fill where it belongs, in the bag.
Sabi ships empty, ready for the fill of your choice. We recommend sustainable fills like birdseed, beans, rice, buckwheat hulls or other easily sourced local fill.

This clinical guideline offers evidence-based advice on the care and treatment of women who have or are at risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure) in pregnancy. It contains advice on the diagnosis and management of hypertension during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. It also includes advice for women with chronic hypertension who wish to conceive and for women who have had a pregnancy complicated by hypertension.
January 2011
Two corrections have been made to the full version of this guideline as well as to the NICE version and the Quick Reference Guide.
In the section Management of pregnancy with chronic hypertension 'and' has been changed to 'or' in the following recommendation (recommendation 188.8.131.52 in the NICE version). It now reads:
Tell women who take angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs):
- that there is an increased risk of congenital abnormalities if these drugs are taken during pregnancy
- to discuss other antihypertensive treatment with the healthcare professional responsible for managing their hypertension, if they are planning pregnancy.
In addition, 'chlorothiazide diuretics' has been changed to 'chlorothiazide' in recommendations 184.108.40.206 and 184.108.40.206 in the NICE guideline and throughout the full guideline. These changes have been made on pages 4 and 8 of the Quick Reference Guide. Implementation tools have also been updated.

The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- Vinny Prospal scored his second goal in three games for the
Columbus Blue Jackets, who fell to the Vancouver Canucks 3-2. Columbus is now the only 0-3-0 team in hockey.
- Washington and Tampa Bay played a playoff-like game last
night that ended up in a wild 6-5 shootout win for the Capitals. None of the big guns – Stamkos, St. Louis,
Lecavalier, Ovechkin, Semin or Backstrom – scored in the affair, but the
supporting guys made plenty of plays themselves. Tomas Vokoun had an awful night in goal for
Washington and called the game his worst "in
five years." It looks like a goalie controversy could
quickly arise for the Caps.
- Former Capitals' goalie Semyon Varlamov helped the Avalanche
the Boston Bruins 1-0.
- Zach Parise scored two goals to help the Devils beat the
Carolina Hurricanes 4-2.
- The New York Islanders picked up their first win of the
year, a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild. At the suggestion of new Captain Mark Streit, the Isles all stayed on the ice for the "Three Stars of the Game" announcement and
congratulated their teammates. Smart
team-building move by New York; expect this to be picked up around the league.
- Sidney Crosby could be
cleared for contact today.
- The Boston Bruins signed Rich Peverley to a
three-year contract extension.
- Tampa Bay defenseman Matthias Ohlund had both of his knees
scoped this morning and is out four-to-six
- The Florida Panthers signed 2011 third-overall pick Jonathan
Huberdeau to
an entry-level deal. Huberdeau has
already been sent back to the QMJHL and is not eligible to play with the
Panthers this season.
- Craig Rivet was the captain of the Buffalo Sabres a year
ago, now
he's in the ECHL.

Final Score: 27 Chargers – 17 Jets
Up until the end of the third quarter, it was the game that the team's coach wanted; turnover free, emphasis on setting up the run, and a defense that slowed an opponent.
The problem of course is that when you have to run that sort of a game with a first-time starter at the quarterback spot, an opponent will dare that youngster to win the game. Playing from behind is tough for such a team, and today proved as much.
The Rundown:
McElroy was sacked eleven times and hit countless more before his late interception. While he might not have lit it up, credit McElroy for playing inside himself and when he did throw it, being decisive with the football. Something we've not seen from Sanchez most of the season. Still, McElroy had to be smarter about throwing it away.
The Jets broke out the Horned Frog Cat again, and it had some good moments … maybe moreso than the Tebow spread did in a game for game comparison?
Quinton Coples had his second multi-sack game. Imagine how much better he'll be when he learns how to keep his hands away from a QBs face next year. Also, Mo had himself a solid game … it's going to be fun to watch these two over the next five years.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Any fiscal cliff compromise is likely to be a short-term fix that will include both good news and bad news for the region.
The good news is that a deal on Capitol Hill should stop deep budget cuts in Western New York. For example, according to Congressman Brian Higgins (D-Buffalo), Roswell Park could lose millions in cancer research funding without a fiscal cliff deal. Defense contractors like Moog in East Aurora could lose big government contracts, and the Niagara Falls Air Base could lose funding that will help it develop a critical, new mission.
The bad news comes in the long term because Congress again has failed to make tough decisions to reduce our out-of-control deficit.
"So this is just Congress kicking the can down the road," Higgins said. "But the fact of the matter is, we're out of can and we're out of road."
Financial advisor Tony Ogorek believes the problem is even more serious.
"A lot of people say they're kicking the can, but I really think they're kicking the grandchildren because they are the ones that are going to have to service this debt," Ogorek said.
Ogorek compares our nation's finances to a morbidly obese, 60-year-old smoker -- who requires an immediate intervention.
"We may not have the heart attack today, but it surely is going to come, and I don't know if it's going to come in a month, or in a year, or in five years, but when that happens, it could be catastrophic for our financial markets. It could be catastrophic for interest rates. And it really could change the way all of us are accustomed to living," he said. " It truly is as serious as a heart attack."
REPORTER: When do you think our nation's leaders will have a real serious discussion about long-term spending and entitlements?
HIGGINS: Well, there is a lot of talk here about that, and there's not a lot of action. And each and every time these issues come to the floor, there is a tendency to defer hard decisions. . . I think that people's frustration with Congress is justified. This is why people hate Congress. Everything comes down to a political deal.
Congressman Higgins said he thinks a deal on the fiscal cliff is necessary to avoid a recession, but he says he would prefer a bi-partisan bill that deals with the deficit but also invests more money in infrastructure and research.

some sort of betting is happening in that cockpit!
I wonder how much he/she won...lol
Man, if that had been me flying I would have that clip running on a continuous loop in my "I love me" room at home.
Mechanics dream landing.
I bet the passangers still thought they are flying it was so smooth.
The smoothest landing I ever experienced was on board SWA flight to El Paso. Approach was a very gentle angle, and I could not tell when we touched down.
You know, I think every pilot has that in them but it just depends on what you have had to deal with on the trip, whther you are ready to just get down or really concentrate on the landing.lol
Quite beautiful for such a large aircraft.
The very definition of a greaser.
Have been on that flight many times and have experienced silky smooth landings. Must be the MAN environment.
On all but the longest runways On-Speed and On-Spot are more important than being the smoothest. Think Navy carrier landings. On-Spot and On-Speed could, perhaps, have avoided the SWA runway excursions at KBUR and KMDW.
Was that Jim Davis? Wouldn't surprise me.
I believe it was Mr. Wayne...aka Preach
Well, that or the 777's on that other link is how it ought to be done instead of a slam down or sticking it although somebody says here that that's how Airlines are training these days. They can do as they want but with a CEO riding, and a Maintenance chief watching, A greaser was expected. I would stick one if there was wx to get solid but not on a clear day.
pretty darn smooth kb
As far as I know, pilots flying for US carriers are trained to "stick it", and that's why the landings generally feel firm as apposed to silky smooth.
Kevin: I believe you are right but there is a big difference in "sticking it" and some of the landings that I have experienced as a pax over the last few years. Clear skies, calm wind and dang near bouncing is just right much. I flew 135 big iron for 30 years+ and had the same pax all the time and faced the same maintenance chief everytime we came in. I was Director of Flight Ops and ran the whole show, but my maintenance chief generally met every flight as we came in. With him on the ground and the CEO on board, I had better grease it.
screw your latte Mr.Boss Man.....bounce bounce bounce (three landings on one flight ain't so bad lol)
Runway 5R at Manchester, England, has nearly 9400' available landing distance, so I wouldn't fault the pilot for making a super smooth landing, and I would definitely fault him for making a carrier type landing. On speed and on spot may be the ticket for a short field landing, but passengers in anything from a C150 on up to the largest airliners are a lot more impressed with smoothness--and it's a whole lot easier on the equipment.
It is not at all easy for all pilots,but some one are smarter and reliable for sure.Like Grant Shui at Cams flight. I have been sitting next to him for few times. I know the difference.
There's a video posted by (I think it's) SpeedbirdHD that is of a handfull of 777's landing at LAX and all of them are just as smooth. I'll see if I can find it. Here we go www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTZIQ2e3rl0
Unless I missed it, there wasn't even any nose wheel smoke on that Emirates
Yeah, that one was probably the best.
You missed it. It was pretty close to when the other plane passed between it and the camera. Way further down the runway than the others.
You got to admit it was the better of the bunch though although those cargo jockeys did a fine job.lol
Just as pretty
That is the first time I ever saw the PERFECT LANDING on video. I would have to say that the Landing Rate was -1,-2 fpm. AWESOME JOB!
look at that link posted below on those trpl 7's landing at LAX.
One has to wonder if that was the pilot or the auto-pilot. Is Manchester capable of auto-land?
Just to let everyone know. Greased landings is not the preferred procedure for large aircraft. In icy or wet conditions they can be down right dangerous due to skidding on ice or hydro planing on a wet runway. The auto land system will never land a plane that soft.
This video is old... I'm sure it's been posted before.
One of the smoothest landings I've ever seen!
Maybe it was on Autoland. Just kidding.
Wow!. That was probably the most beautiful landing I've seen in a video. May we all have a landing like that every time!
Just a little touch!
victor i agree with you as outhwest pilots are known for smooth landings
Excellent skills of the pilot!
A very good landing. Will do wonders for tyre longevity
it was so smooth becuase the pilot didnt bring it down fast and hard but he came down so slow and gently put the main gear doen fisrt slowly and then the front gear. it all depends on how strong the wind is at the time and how fast the pilots put it down.
As I said earlier, I think every pilot has it in them. It depends on what type of flight they have had or mood they are in.
yeah and also the weight of the aircraft
Well that may make some difference, but as evidenced by these(look at the 777 link), if you are PF, you need to know what is under you. As one of these comments did say too, some airlines are now training for pilots to stick it. I like smooth myself, at least with a clear day. I'll draw a line on wx.
[This poster has been suspended.]
autoland is an amazing piece of technology
as someone who has been through a few Airbus autolands...that was no autoland.
That landing is all wrist.
Phil's just jealous;lol
[This poster has been suspended.]
not at all. Ive flown boeings my whole life.
your apology will be accepted.
Did you look at the other link up above showing 4-5 777's greasing just as good.lol No Malice intended and that's a close to an apology you'll get, you old goat.LOL

Shooting stars
March madness was in full effect at Hermitage High School March 3. Panthers students and basketball fans, crammed together in the school's noisy gymnasium, rose to their feet with less than a minute remaining in a game against rival Freeman High.
With Hermitage clinging to a one-point lead, a Freeman player gathered a loose rebound and streaked the length of the court for a lay-up to put the Rebels back in front by one with less than 20 seconds remaining.
As the Panthers worked for a final shot, the crowd counted down each remaining second in unison.
"Seven. . . six. . . "
An attempted jump-shot fell unsuccessfully to the ground.
"Five. . . four. . . three. . . "
A Hermitage player rose the rebound, collected the ball and launched it toward the basket.
It fell safely through the net as time expired, giving the home team a thrilling 32-31 victory and prompting momentary delirium in the gymnasium, as students jumped up and down, some hugging each other and dancing in place, others storming the court to celebrate with the team.
That a high school basketball game might evoke such interest, passion and excitement among a school's student body is not remarkable; scenes like this one play themselves out across the nation thousands of times a year.
But that this game – played between two teams of exceptional education students as part of Henrico County's All-Star Basketball League – did so was, perhaps, an eye-opening reminder of the power of athletics, teamwork and inclusion.
'I made a basket'
David Kern admits that it can be difficult to keep the attention of his Deep Run High School students early in the week.
"On Monday and Tuesday," said Kern, who teaches students with disabilities, "it's hard to get anything done."
That's because his students know it's almost game time, and they're anxious to get on the court.
Kern and two fellow exceptional education teachers in Henrico (Freeman's Lourie Sledd and Tucker's Sallie Johnston) spearheaded the creation of the All-Star Basketball League four years ago as a way to provide an encouraging, fun outlet for their students, who suffer from mental or physical disabilities, and disabled students at other county high schools.
Henrico County had previously participated in the similar Medford League with other high schools in the region, but the trio believed their students would benefit from a less competitive league that placed more emphasis on participation than winning.
"We wanted it to be more child focused, where they get the feeling of, 'Wow, I made a basket,'" Sledd recalled. "We talked about it being just the spirit of. . . having fun, being with peers, being part of a group where they could compete in a sport in high school."
Participating Henrico schools include Deep Run, Freeman, Henrico, Hermitage, Highland Springs, Tucker and Varina; Hanover's Lee-Davis and Hanover High also are members of the league. Games are played weekly during the morning, and teachers often bring their classes to the gym to watch and cheer on their classmates.
Most teams wear the same basketball jerseys their school's boys' and girls' teams wear.
"For them to go to those schools where they see their peers playing sports, it's just huge," Sledd said of her students. "That's like the coolest thing ever."
Teams often give each player a nickname, and all players are introduced by name to the crowd before each game. Student and adult volunteers assist during games, serving as referees and helping players in wheelchairs or those with other physical ailments who need assistance getting up and down the court.
At Tucker High – described by Sledd and Kern as the model school for the league – students run the entire program. Home games are almost always packed with students cheering on both teams. Johnston admitted that she can't explain why mainstream students at Tucker embraced the program so quickly, but she's thrilled that they have.
"It brings out the best in all of them," she said.
Johnston enlisted the help of several varsity boys' basketball players four years ago to run drills with the All-Star team, and those players began bringing friends to assist. Now dozens of students are involved, serving as referees, coaches and on-court assistants.
"It's the most heartwarming thing I do in my work," Johnston said of her involvement with the league. "It's neat to see what students will do when you give them the chance."
'An honored group'
While the league has impacted the lives of students who play and those who assist with it, it's also had farther reaching impacts at the participating schools, according to those involved.
It "absolutely" has changed the way mainstream students interact with disabled students at Deep Run, Kern said.
"There's definitely more a sense of belonging," he said, describing how he has watched from afar as the two groups of students exchange hallway smiles and waves that are heartfelt.
"It's kind of cool to walk down the hall and not have a hand in interaction that's happening between our students and the general student population," Kern said. "It's genuine, natural interaction."
At Tucker, team members have experienced similar outcomes.
"It has certainly enlarged their social circles, and it's raised their confidence," Johnston said. "They're an honored group at Tucker."
Disabled students everywhere long to feel like they're part of something larger and that they fit into mainstream society with their peers, said Hermitage exceptional education teacher Karen Heldorfer, who oversees the Panthers' All-Star team.
"The recognition from their peers is what they crave," she said. "They want to feel like they're part of the school. It's something they look forward to, and it brings them a lot of joy. Our school embraces everyone – the stands are always filled with students there to support them."
The league has provided an opportunity for its players to grow on and off the court, as they learn to develop the type of skills they'll use after high school, too.
"A lot of these kids have played together for four years, they've learned teamwork, how to share the ball," Sledd said. "Some of them will get down to the basket and pass the ball, because they want their friend to get a basket. It's great to see how caring they are toward each other."
During play, students in wheelchairs sometimes shoot at a lower basket. It's not unusual for play to slow to allow for one student to attempt several shots in a row. Steals and blocks are not common, and scores are sometimes loosely kept so that the games are close throughout. Players develop self-confidence as they see what they're able to achieve on the court.
"My goal every year is, I want everybody on my team to make one shot," Kern said. "It means the world to them."
Said Sledd, "We've had kids who couldn't cach a ball [initially], and in four years, they are running up and down the court. I've seen them grow and become athletes."
'When do we get to play?'
Following Hermitage's dramatic win earlier this month, players mobbed each other on the court, collapsing into a pile the way any team might in such a situation. Students were giddy with excitement, just as they would have been had their boys' or girls' basketball teams won in similar fashion.
Minutes later, when the celebration had died down and students had scattered toward their next classes, one Hermitage player emerged in the hallway outside the gym, a smile stuck wide on his face.
"We won," he said softly to no one in particular, as he peered back into the gym through the window on a door, seemingly wondering if the fantastic finish had been real. "We won!"
On that day, even for Freeman's players – some of whom were momentarily disappointed afterwards – the league was nothing but a winning experience, Sledd said.
"We've just seen the kids grow, from where they're really shy about it – afraid to get out there – to where they can't wait to get on the court," she said. "We've gotten a new student this week, and every day she's asking, 'When do we get to play basketball?'

After slowing due to higher humidity from a cold front Sept. 22, the Twitchell Canyon Fire continues to burn and may pick up speed again.
However, even with rising temperatures and lower humidity, it had minimal growth from Sunday to Monday, according to information released by the Forest Service. A warming trend that is expected to continue through the week with no moisture could result in more smoke being visible from the Twitchell Canyon Fire in and about central and eastern Utah.
The fire, which has been burning since July 20, has been managed for resource benefits, said John Zapell, Fishlake National Forest public information officer. He said the fire, which was started by lightning, is a way to clear out dead plants and shrubs that are undesirable for wildlife.
As the summer progressed, September remained warm with very little water, Zapell said. He said this dried out the fuels, and when winds hit the region, the fire picked up speed.
The other management goal of the fire is to protect public and private property, wildlife habitat and natural resources. Some areas of the fire have been completely suppressed, according to the Forest Service.
The total cost of fighting the fire to date is in excess of $10.8 million, said Ken Malgren, information officer for the Twitchell fire.
The two main concerns are firefighter and public safety, Malgren said. "In extreme terrain, such as on the Twitchell Canyon Fire, it is much safer to choose where line can be safely constructed and let the fire burn to it. In some instances, low intensity fire burning brush and debris on the forest floor is desirable."
The Fishlake forest has defined boundaries of which the fire must be kept inside. As the fire front nears those boundaries, the fire is being suppressed with all available resources. One of the boundaries is Interstate 70, where a lot of effort has been put in to keep it from reaching the freeway, according to Malgren. I-70 has had intermittent closures for public safety.
One effect that can't be managed, is the smoke that has hit area communities.
The Central Utah Public Health Department issued information to help people who are being bothered by the smoke:
Stay indoors, use room air conditioners, avoid burning candles, smoking, or frying or broiling food indoors, the department recommended.

ADAMS A short-handed village Board of Trustees on Monday night tabled a vote to borrow money to fund a fire hall expansion, as it heard several villagers concerns about the project.
About 20 residents attended the 50-minute public hearing, prompting a move from the village offices conference room to the larger courtroom. Trustees say the expansion project, which will add new bays and storage space, is necessary due to a lack of room at the hall.
Dennis E. Crowley complained that the village should not proceed with the spending for the expansion while it had more spending looming in its search for new water.
William J. Doe, chairman of the village Planning Board, repeated his opposition to the project because of its price tag and tax impact. Before the meeting, he delivered a letter protesting the project to the board from him and fellow board members Thomas G. Williams, Arden R. Sharpe and Richard Bushnell.
Mr. Sharpe told the board he was concerned about locking into another long-term spending project.
Youre putting us in a position we cant get out of, he said.
Mayor Patricia C. Sweetland said the village had handled the multiple projects the best way we know how.
Trustee Keith S. Perry said that he was confident the expansion project would cost at or below the maximum $1.2 million borrowing level and that the project and its costs had been fully studied.
With Deputy Mayor Nancy C. Murphy and Trustee Todd M. Race absent and Trustee Philip F. Chatterton abstaining because of his connection to the department, only Ms. Sweetland and Trustees Brian C. Thomas, Christopher J. Singleton and Mr. Perry could vote for the project, not enough for a needed supermajority. The board instead voted to table the vote until its Aug. 19 meeting.
Kids, if you get anything from this, its everybody gets their say, Mr. Thomas said after the meeting to a group of high school students at the meeting for a class assignment.
Following the meeting, Mr. Perry called the delay extremely disappointing.
Ms. Sweetland said further delays only added more administrative costs to the project.
Opponents of the fire hall funding will have 30 days after a borrowing resolution is passed to collect signatures on a petition to force a referendum. With the village having about 925 registered voters, a petition would need about 185 signatures to launch a referendum, according to section 9-902 of state Village Law.
The board on Monday also unanimously approved transferring up to $70,000 from the villages street repair reserve to pay for the repaving and reconstruction of the last block of East Church Street.

State of Union success: Time will tell
Man found decomposed, floating in canal
(USA TODAY) -- President Obama outlined plans Tuesday to revive American prosperity
by rebuilding "a thriving middle class," calling it the "true engine of
America's economic growth" during his annual State of the Union Address.
the economy and creating good middle-class jobs "must be the North Star
that guides our efforts," Obama told a joint session of Congress and a
national television audience.
RELATED: Full text of the State of the Union address
While devoting most of his speech to
jobs and the economy, Obama also announced plans to pull 34,000 U.S.
troops from Afghanistan over the next year, reducing the American
presence by about half as part of a planned overall withdrawal. "By the
end of next year," Obama said, "our war in Afghanistan will be over."
president also condemned the nuclear ambitions of North Korea and Iran,
and pledged to work with Russia to continue reducing American and
Russian nuclear stockpiles.
In perhaps the most dramatic moment of
the hour-long speech, Obama called on Congress to vote on gun-control
proposals in order to honor "Americans whose lives have been torn apart"
by mass violence. "They deserve a vote," Obama said.
In a litany
of economic proposals, Obama called for an increase in the minimum wage -
from $7.25 to $9 per hour - as well as new plans to speed up
infrastructure projects, promote manufacturing, improve science and math
education and develop alternative sources of energy.
RELATED: Full text of Sen. Marco Rubio's response to the State of the Union address
his speech, Obama tied the economy to other aspects of his legislative
agenda, including proposals for a major overhaul of the immigration
system, legislation to combat gun violence, and programs to address
climate change.
Obama urged members of Congress - especially
Republicans - to avoid the "sequester," $85 billion in automatic
spending cuts set to take effect March 1. The president said these
"sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts" would jeopardize military readiness and
"devastate priorities" like education, energy, and medical research.
he urged a "balanced" plan to reduce the nation's $16-trillion-plus
debt with both spending cuts and new tax revenues derived from closing
loopholes and ending certain deductions.
The State of the Union
also featured a new plan to protect the nation's infrastructure from
cyberattacks and the creation of an election reform commission to deal
with challenges such as long lines at polling places and voter
registration problems.
Congressional Republicans said Obama's
plans rely too much on government and not enough on the market to
rebuild the middle class. In the formal Republican response to the State
of the Union, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. - a potential Republican
presidential candidate in 2016 - said that past presidents from both
parties "have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of
our middle class prosperity."
"But President Obama?" Rubio said. "He believes it's the cause of our problems."
also said that Obama's call for new tax revenues amounts to a tax hike
that will further slow the economy, and that the debt should be reduced
by spending cuts alone. They said Obama got a tax increase - in the form
of higher income tax rates - as part of the "fiscal cliff" deal reached
last month.
"So we're done with the tax part of the equation," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. before Obama's speech.
the address, Obama said that Social Security and Medicare recipients
should bear the brunt of debt reduction, and that "the wealthiest and
most powerful" should contribute as well. He also pledged to work with
Republicans to make "modest" changes to entitlement programs and to
simplify the tax system.
Obama said that while Americans don't
expect government to solve all the nation's problems, they do expect the
parties to work together. Seeking to pressure Republicans, he urged
Congress to avoid past disputes over the fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling,
and the budget that damaged the nation's credit rating and threatened
to shut down the government.
"The greatest nation on Earth cannot
keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to
another," Obama said.
The president spoke amid reports that the
unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9% in January, and that the overall
economy contracted in the last quarter of 2012.
Describing his
plans for the middle class, Obama said lawmakers should ask themselves
three questions: "How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we
equip our people with the skills they need to get those jobs? And how
do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?"
Obama also said his proposed new programs are paid for, and will not increase budget deficits by "one dime."
his proposals: A "fix-it first" program to speed up certain
infrastructure projects, and more pre-school for children from low- and
moderate-income families.
The president also called for three new
"Manufacturing Innovation Institutes," government-business partnerships
seeking to develop new technologies; a "Master Teacher Corps" to improve
math and science education, and an "Energy Security Trust" with the
goal of moving cars and trucks off oil.
He renewed previous calls
for major legislation, including his immigration overhaul plan that
includes a pathway to citizenship for some 11 million illegal
immigrants, an item some Republicans have criticized as amnesty for
The president also said Congress needs to confront
climate change, "for the sake of our children and our future." One
solution, he said, is developing "clean energy" legislation.
Obama called on congressional votes on proposals for "universal
background checks," a renewal of the assault weapons ban and
restrictions on the sizes of ammunition magazines.
Guns were a
primary issue for many in the audience in the U.S House chamber. Both
the White House and members of Congress invited families and friends who
have endured the trauma of shootings.
The guest list for first
lady Michelle Obama included the parents of Hadiya Pendleton, a
15-year-old from Chicago who was shot in the back and killed last month
in an apparent act of gang violence just a mile away from the Obamas'
The first lady also welcomed a teacher from the elementary
school in Newtown, Conn., where 20 children and six adults died in a
Dec. 14 shooting. Members of Congress wore green ribbons in honor of the
Newtown victims.
"The families of Newtown deserve a vote" on gun
legislation. Obama said, a mantra he echoed for other communities
"ripped open by gun violence."
Other White House guests - invited
to personalize various aspects of the president's agenda - included a
police officer wounded in a mass shooting at a Sikh temple near
Milwaukee; members of the military; and business, education and health
care professionals.
Some congressional Republicans also brought
guests. Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, invited former rock-and-roller Ted
Nugent, an outspoken critic of gun control who said last year he would
wind up "dead or in jail" if Obama won re-election.
During a
discussion of foreign affairs on foreign affairs, Obama made an apparent
reference to his drone program in pledging to work with Congress to
insure that "our targeting, detention and prosecution of terrorists
remains consistent with our laws and our systems of checks and
And he again pledged to prevent Iran from obtaining the means to make a nuclear weapon.
announcing his visit to the Middle East next month, Obama pledged to
help with Egypt's painful transition to democracy, and to pressure the
regime of Syrian leader Bashar Assad.
The millions of television
viewers included members of Organizing for America, the political action
