|Plans to implement an energy training center at the Willow Creek coal mine site are proceeding. In December 2005, the United States Department of Labor awarded CEU a $2.7 million grant to purchase the property. And last week, the Utah Legislature allocated an additional $1.1 million in state funding to subsidize the project.
The College of Eastern Utah is poised to open a regional energy training center that is expected to provide a major economic boost in Carbon County.
In December 2005, the United States Department of Labor awarded the college a $2.7 million grant to help implement the project. And last week, the Utah Legislature voted to contribute an additional $1.1 million in state revenues to subsidize the purchase of the Willow Creek mine property to house the training center.
The center should be operating by next fall and may begin some classes in spring 2006.
The college expects to train as many as 2,000 students each year in energy related jobs.
The energy training program is also expected to draw students from locations throughout the western states.
The energy industry is expanding rapidly across the nation.
According to the college, the majority of the energy related jobs in the U.S. are currently occupied by workers who will retire within the next 10 years.
As a result, Castle Valley and the nation will face the critical need for new, younger workers in every facet of the industry.
The CEU training center program has been designed to address the nationwide need for employees in the energy industry.
The training center will initially offer short-term classes and workshops on topics as diverse as equipment maintenance, workforce management and safety, explained the college.
Eventually, the program at the college will offer associate degrees in energy-related fields.
The fields of study planned for the program include the coal mining industry, oil and gas extraction, electrical power generation and transportation.
A western states energy training board was recently established as a non-profit corporation to oversee the energy training program until it is fully developed
The board represents a partnership between the college, local governments and the energy industry.
The board has been instrumental in securing the funding and government support for the program, according to local officials.
|Members of the board of directors for the mining training facility celebrate funding from the state legislature to purchase land, buildings and equipment at the old Willow Creek mine in Price Canyon.
Board members include:
Ryan Thomas, CEU president;
Miles Nelson, Southeast Utah Applied Technology Center president;
Susan Etzel, workforce services director;
Carol Rogers, vocational rehabilitation director; and
Energy industry representatives, Sam Quigley, Alex Walker, Rod Hensley, Ellis Pierce, Jerry Carlson, Rick Olsen, Dave Sorrells and Jim Felton.
Steven Burge is the interim director for the project. He is assisted by Jim Huffaker. Burge and Huffaker work at the college.
Jay Metzler, former director of San Juan's community college energy training center, has been hired as a consultant.
The board members met Tuesday to celebrate the successes of securing the funding to implement the training program at CEU.
Participants acknowledged Utah Sen. Mike Dmitrich and Rep. Brad King for the legislators' assistance in securing the state money to put the funding for the training center project over the top for the current year.
Thomas was also recognized for the college president's tireless efforts in seeing the project through.
The coal mining property consists three 8-year-old buildings on 270 acres of ground located near the mouth of Willow Creek Canyon in the canyon above Helper.
The buildings total about 38,000 square feet, with more than 40 offices in the main building.
Another of the buildings is a large, modern shop with a 50-ton crane and a high-pressure diesel wash bay.
CEU will also acquire water and gas rights along with various items of property such as forklifts, office furniture and equipment.
Foundation Coal Company made a substantial donation to the college by offering the property for such a low purchase price, pointed out Burge.
Taking into account the actual value of the property and the matching grant funds, the value of the project in its first two years will exceed $15 million, said Burge. There will also be many economic benefits to the community.
The training center will help establish the county as a hub for energy development in the intermountain region. Last year, the National Mining Association committed to establish an office in Price if the energy training center became a reality, concluded Burge.

Lifeby Keith Richards and James Fox
Staff Pick
This riveting autobiography by celebrated (and famously hard-living) guitar legend Keith Richards reads with the unforgettable hook and crisp ferocity of the best Rolling Stones songs — most of which you'll rush to replay after learning about their creation.
Admit it, you didn't expect Keith to remember much, did you? Well, you were so wrong. His story is off-the-charts awesome, and, taken along with the Stones in Exile documentary, it made my year. Together they are everything I always wanted from my favorite genius outlaw.
"Keith Richards, 19 years old and a good kid at heart, wrote a letter to his Aunt Patty in 1962. After joking about the English weather — "I wonder which day summer falls on this year?" — he describes meeting Mick Jagger on a train station..." Jeff Baker, The Oregonian (Read the entire Oregonian review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
As lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the riffs, the lyrics, and the songs that roused the world. A true and towering original, he has always walked his own path, spoken his mind, and done things his own way.
Now at last Richards pauses to tell his story in the most anticipated autobiography in decades. And what a story! Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records in a coldwater flat with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones, building a sound and a band out of music they loved. Finding fame and success as a bad-boy band, only to find themselves challenged by authorities everywhere. Dropping his guitar's sixth string to create a new sound that allowed him to create immortal riffs like those in "Honky Tonk Woman" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Falling in love with Anita Pallenberg, Brian Jones's girlfriend. Arrested and imprisoned for drug possession. Tax exile in France and recording Exile on Main Street. Ever-increasing fame, isolation, and addiction making life an ever faster frenzy. Through it all, Richards remained devoted to the music of the band, until even that was challenged by Mick Jagger's attempt at a solo career, leading to a decade of conflicts and ultimately the biggest reunion tour in history.
In a voice that is uniquely and unmistakably him — part growl, part laugh — Keith Richards brings us the truest rock-and-roll life of our times, unfettered and fearless and true.
In a voice that is uniquely and unmistakably him — part growl, part laugh — Keith Richards brings us the truest rock-and-roll life of our times, unfettered and fearless and true.
The long-awaited autobiography of the guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding member of the Rolling Stones. Ladies and gentlemen: Keith Richards.
With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.
Now, at last, the man himself tells his story of life in the crossfire hurricane. Listening obsessively to Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records, learning guitar and forming a band with Mick Jagger and Brian Jones. The Rolling Stones's first fame and the notorious drug busts that led to his enduring image as an outlaw folk hero. Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation. Marriage, family, solo albums and Xpensive Winos, and the road that goes on forever.
With his trademark disarming honesty, Keith Richard brings us the story of a life we have all longed to know more of, unfettered, fearless, and true.

|A crowd gathers in front of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum for a tour of Range Creek. The museum served as the centerpiece of a media blitz when Range Creek became a topic of worldwide interest two years ago. Interviews and news reports were broadcast to locations throughout the world and the museum in Price became internationally known as the backdrop in the Range Creek issue. With the proposed creation of the Price Cretaceous Garden currently in the works, the museum's celebrity could become more permanent.
The idea of developing a local cretaceous garden accompanying what is growing to be a world-class prehistoric museum could be a travel draw tourists cannot resist.
Sinan Oguan, the managing director of Global Studies Institute, would like to see the local area take on the project.
GSI was formed as a non-profit educational organization in 1987 and the creation of it stemmed from the conception that students needed experiential learning as much or more than textbooks.
The organization is headquartered in Queensland, Australia, at a location inside the shoreline facing the Great Barrier Reef and in the Ancient Gondwanan Rainforest. The founders of GSI decided to place the headquarters at the location because of the site's natural beauty and the fact that the area has great ecological significance when it comes to field studies and research.
But the founders have also sought out other places in the world where unique settings and circumstances exist.
Eastern Utah and Carbon County have a rich Cretaceous period history, uncovered shorelines and geology.
In addition, according to Oguan, the area has the perfect soil to grow the closest thing to a complete Cretaceous garden of anywhere in the world.
The cretaceous plant project is still in the talking stages, but so far many county agencies and the College of Eastern Utah are interested in being involved.
|An artists's conceptual sketch of what a cretaceous garden could look like. Though some question whether such a project is economically viable, others believe that the project would bring added tourist value to the Castle Valley.
The proposed facility would house about 600 species of plants, with a direct lineage to the plants of a time more than 64 million years ago. It would be the only garden of its kind in the world.
Tie that in with the idea of building a new College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum on the bluffs southwest of Price where the facility could be easily seen from U.S. Highway 6 and the area could also have the makings of a world class tourist attraction.
But the conservatory could be much more than just a place where families travel to take in what it might have been like during the last portion of the age of dinosaurs.
The complex and its supporting facilities could become a classic place to study ancient times and could also become the breeding ground for plants of all kinds that could be exported around the world.
While the originals would come from other places as tissue cultures and not as whole plants, as the organisms were grown and put in one place, the local area could become the source for many of the unique forms of flora through micropropagation.
The tissue cultures that the growing labs here could produce could generate over $100,000 per year, according to officials from GSI.
Some, have questioned whether the draw would match the hype that is being put out about this project, but the proof could lie in an area similar to Price that exists about a thousand miles north of Utah.
The eastern Utah area has often been compared to Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, both in terms of size, geography and location in relation to large metropolitan areas. Drumheller has a world renowned prehistoric museum in the form of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, is in the middle of the Canadian badlands and is about 100 miles northeast of Calgary, a metropolitan area about the size of Salt Lake. According to information that the Drumheller economic officials have published, due to its unique Badlands topography, the Drumheller Valley has always held an appeal for tourists. Recognizing this potential, the Government of Alberta established the Royal Tyrrell Museum and since its opening in October of 1985, tourist traffic to Drumheller has increased from 100,000 visitors per year to over 400,000 per year. According to Alberta Tourism, the Drumheller Valley has now become the third most popular tourist destination in Alberta.
While GSI says that the gardens in Price would be a good idea, the money to build such a facility is another question that is being faced by local officials. Moves towards different kinds of funding are being explored, including CEU requesting funds from the legislature or from the Community Impact Board. GSI has proposed that it would help write a curriculum for field studies for CEU and would also bring in a botanist to help the college in growing the plants and training college and museum staff on their care. GSI says that the cost to put something like the gardens together would be around $2.7 million, but that the economic impact to the community could be in the area of $30 million per year.
Some preliminary drawings concerning the structure that would house the gardens have already been shown to various groups around the community, and most in the area seem very interested in both the education and economic value this could possibly provide Carbon County.

Describing a place as "one of Maryland's best kept secrets" is over-used, but in the case of Point Lookout at Green Ridge State Forest, it is true - it really is one of Maryland's best-kept secrets. Not to be confused with the better-known southern Maryland state park of the same name, visitors are always pleasantly surprised by Point Lookout's spectacular view over the ancient Potomac River valley in Maryland's Ridge and Valley Province.
The overlook is accessed from Oldtown Road, the oldest colonial road in eastern Allegany County. In 1758 during the French and Indian War, Colonel Thomas Cresap, Maryland's great pathfinder, blazed this road to improve and shorten the route between Fort Cumberland and Fort Frederick.
It is believed that the name "Point Lookout" originated during the Civil War when Union troops stationed at neighboring Little Orleans were assigned to protect the C&O Canal and Railroad from Confederates intent on destroying the bridges and aqueducts along the Potomac River. Lookouts were established at Point Lookout and other nearby ridges from which Union troops could observe the canal, railroad and Confederate movements through the valley.
Visitors to Point Lookout today can enjoy the same view that the Union troops had 140 years ago. From the overlook can be seen 243 acres of land that was once owned by George Washington. The father of our nation traveled back and forth over what was then trackless wilderness more than 16 times as a surveyor, landowner, military officer, and later as the President of the United States. In the 1840s, this serpentine section of the river was appropriately known as "General Washington's Horseshoe Bend".
In the early 1800s the ownership log becomes a bit more complicated: Partners Richard Caton of Catonsville lore and William Carroll of Rock Creek owned much of the land that is today Green Ridge State Forest, including Point Lookout. Caton was the son-in-law of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, while (William) Carroll was the grandson of Daniel Carroll, a framer of the U.S. Constitution. Located near Point Lookout off Carroll Road are the ruins of Carroll Chimney, built in 1836 as one of the nation's early steam-powered sawmills. It is the only surviving structure remaining from the period, as the duo's business ventures into iron ore and timber cutting eventually proved unsuccessful.
In the late 1800s, the Merten family of Cumberland acquired Point Lookout and the Green Ridge property from the Carroll family. The Mertens cut, burned and converted the forest into an apple orchard, which they promoted as "the largest apple orchard in the universe". They then subdivided the land into more than 3,000 ten-acre lots and sold each lot to individual owners all across the country.
To impress potential buyers, the Mertens' first stop on their orchard tour was
Point Lookout. The family proclaimed the overlook as the most beautiful spot on
the East Coast: "I can say that from Point Lookout is the most beautiful view my
eyes have ever fallen upon. It excels Pike's Peak or any other.... There is no
view equal to it." However, in 1918, the Mertens fell into bankruptcy and
abandoned the orchard and Point Lookout.
Point Lookout, once part of the "largest apple orchard in the universe", is now part of Green Ridge State Forest, Maryland's largest contiguous block of forestland within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. As one of the Merten family's publicity men described the area roughly 100 years ago, "Tourists have traveled thousands of miles and then pronounced it the most beautiful view in the United States...[Yet] there are few people in Maryland who know the place exists". Still not well known, it is just one more reason Point Lookout is one of Maryland's best-kept secrets.
Consider a visit and enjoy its scenic wonders yourself.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The ideal shape for maximum fun on the slopes: ATOMIC's tailor-made Rocker philosophies.
We at ATOMIC strive to build the perfect ski. Or, to be more precise: we strive to build the perfect ski for every skier and every terrain. Which is why we precisely tailor the waist, flex and materials to the intended purpose of our skis. But we don't stop there. To optimize the behavior of the ski for soft, uneven or hard snow, we also offer three different profile constructions: Powder Rocker, Adaptive Rocker and Active Camber. Which means ATOMIC is able to provide every skier with a ski which not only meets but also exceeds his or her expectations.
How big is the camber, how pronounced is the curve at the tip and where are the ski's contact points – those points at which the ski makes contact with the snow when not under stress? All of these factors determine the shape and influence the character and behavior of the ski considerably. When the classic camber below the binding is combined with a negative camber at the tip ("Rocker"), the agility and lift of the ski in soft snow can be improved while also maintaining stability on harder terrain.
By developing three individual shape variations, ATOMIC is able to provide every skier with the perfect equipment for any terrain. The choice of Powder Rocker, Adaptive Rocker or Active Camber can be determined by asking one simple question: where do you intend to go skiing?
Ultimate lift in deep fresh snow, stability on harder terrain: the Powder Rocker combines classic camber with a pronounced Rocker Shape at the ski tip. Delivering stability and maximum lift in powder snow. Depending on the skier and intended use of the ski, ATOMIC offers both moderate and more radical models with a gentler or more pronounced curve. The Pop Rocker variation features a Powder Rocker at the tip and tail. Models: e.g. Atlas, Bent Chetler, Blog, Access, Century
The secret weapon in the all-mountain skier's arsenal: flexible, versatile and precise. The Adaptive Rocker maximizes the effective edge length, combining maximum edge grip with unbridled fun on the slopes in soft snow. Because the tip lifts slightly under pressure, the ski turns easily, does not edge and delivers optimum lift in soft snow. Models: e.g. Nomad, Ascape, Affinity
The classic profile maximizes the effective edge length while ensuring smoothness and providing optimum support on hard to icy terrain. Making this construction ideal for skiers who prefer to ski on-piste. Models: e.g. D2, Cloud Click here for an overview of our skis.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease, affecting more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and 5 million people worldwide. PKD is the 4th most common cause of kidney failure requiring dialysis and/or transplantation. Over half of all PKD patients develop kidney failure by age 60 years, although age of onset of kidney disease varies widely, even among members of the same family.
Despite the fact this is a relatively common problem, relatively few patients have been studied for a sufficient period of time to fully understand how patients are affected over the course of their lifetime. The reason for creating this repository is to collect information about PKD so that the investigators may fully understand its complications, including high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. This information may also aid in the development of improved treatment strategies.

Welding 101: Yes, You Can Learn How to Weld. Here's How.
They're called leaf blowers, but they do more than move leaves. They sweep a patio clean of grass clippings or blast a winter's worth of sand off the driveway. They can also annoy your neighbor as you stand there in a trance blowing a few spoonfuls of dust. Used responsibly, these tools are as efficient a timesaver as a power lawnmower, and new designs have better grips for two-hand control. So we tested eight two-stroke leaf blowers by moving all kinds of debris. We learned that their rating for airspeed and volume is an unreliable gauge of effectiveness—some of the least air-worthy were the most trustworthy. Here are our findings.
Engine Size: 25 cc
Decibels (A-weighted): 95
Airspeed/Volume: 215 mph/470 cfm*
Weight: 14 pounds
Price: $145
Likes: The Craftsman is one easy-starting blower. Set its automatic choke to Start, give its recoil handle one or two gentle pulls, and the engine roars to life. The choke lever moves automatically to the Run position. The blower has good vibration isolation and comfortable handles. It moves debris well, if not exceptionally.
Dislikes: We didn't have trouble with the gap between the bevel gear and the line head, but it looks vulnerable. Also, we think the Echo deserves a momentary stop switch (one that flips back automatically to run position). Instead, it has a sliding switch with two fixed positions that you have to double-check every time you start the machine.
Rating: * * * 1/2
* Volume in cubic feet (of air) per minute; Craftsman and Poulan Pro airspeed measured with narrow-nozzle accessory, not shown. Volume reading taken in vac mode.

Does this mean we continue to see him in a bullpen role long term, or is this just an attempt to raise the inning threshold before moving him into a starting role next season? I feel like he and Randy Henry are the two guys the club would look at as potential MLB starters that are currently sitting in a bullpen role.
Any thoughts?

CANTON Before its tobacco ban begins in May, St. Lawrence County officials are putting steps in place to help employees who smoke or want to quit get through the day.
The county Board of Legislators voted Nov. 5 to ban smoking and the use of tobacco products on its property effective May 4.
The county is gathering information so that employees and others are aware of options.
Were hopeful were giving people time to figure out how theyre going to deal with the new law, said Benjamin R. Todd, tobacco program coordinator. Hopefully, people will recognize the law is in place for good reason.
The county will conduct a survey to determine how many of its employees smoke. Statewide, 18 percent of the population smokes. In St. Lawrence County, the percentage is 25 percent, Mr. Todd said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, surveys show that two out of three tobacco users want to quit, he said.
Banning smoking on workplace property can help people break the habit as evidenced by a poll at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, Ogdensburg. Five years after adopting a tobacco-free campus, tobacco use by employees dropped by nearly 50 percent, Mr. Todd said.
Clinton and Madison counties recently adopted similar bans on their property, he said.
The county is reviewing the stop-smoking programs offered through its health plan, which covers a six-month supply of prescription Chantix. The county also is working with Kinney Drugs on a discount card for reduced rates on other products that can help smokers, such as nicotine patches, gum and lozenges, Mr. Todd said.
The county is putting together a Web page of frequently asked questions that will be available for employees and the public.
It also is steering people to the NYS Quitline, 866-697-8487.
First and foremost, its a counseling service, Mr. Todd said.
The Quitline also may offer up to two weeks of free nicotine patches or gum, based on a smokers answers to questions.
Other stop-smoking programs sometimes are available.
Claxton-Hepburn and the Tobacco Cessation Center of Northern New York are offering a free seven-week program that meets from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the medical centers auditorium. February class dates are Feb. 7 and 21. To register, call 261-5436 or 713-5251. Free nicotine patches and/or gum will be available to eligible participants.

Mini Worry No More Cat Dolls - Set of 6
Roll over image to zoom in
Sleep soundly and purr like a kitten with traditional Guatemalan worry dolls made in the image of cats. Let your worries melt away, or give the gift of worry-free sleep to someone else -- with timeless wisdom from the Mayan people of Guatemala!
According to the Mayans, cats are thought to protect the souls of people on their journey to the underworld. The Mayans also have a tradition to share their worries with the worry people, which they place under their pillow at bedtime. It is thought that during the night the worry people will whisk all your cares away and you will wake up carefree -- all your worries gone!
Each traditional textile bag comes with a set of six dolls. Bag measures 3" T x 2" W (7.6 x 5.1 cm), and each doll is about 1" T (2.5 cm). Dolls vary in color and design. Handmade in and fairly traded from Guatemala.

Artisan: Doña Jerónima Juárez
Doña Jerónima Juárez was born in the small village of San Pedro Las Huertas, near Antigua, Guatemala. She stopped attending school after the third grade in order to supplement her family's income by helping her mother sell vegetables in the marketplace.
Doña Jerónima's mother taught her to make worry dolls, a traditional craft in Guatemala. She recalls, "I was trying for 2 months to make the worry dolls; I made one but was not good enough then I undid the dolls and tried again and again and again lots of times."
Her perseverance paid off. Eleven years ago, she was able to found a small workshop, "Artesanias Multicolor," in the Colonial City of La Antigua Guatemala. She is able to employ fifteen artisans in the production of traditional and not-so-traditional handicrafts, including the "Worry Cats," a design she developed exclusively for the Greater Good Network.
With their livelihood no longer tied solely to the agricultural harvest, Doña Jerónima, her mother, and her three daughters continue to turn their traditional crafting skills towards the creation of new and unique designs.

ANTHONY PLASCENCIA/THE STAR Ralph Alamillo, interim parks manager for Oxnard, points out the layout of an elaborate underground drainage grid at the new athletic fields at College Park. The city plans to replace a temporary chain-link fence surrounding the fields with a permanent fence to prevent access when the park is closed.
ANTHONY PLASCENCIA/THE STAR A no-climb fence like those surrounding the dog parks at Oxnard College Park soon will be installed around the new athletic fields, according to city officials. The fence is intended to protect the fields and their unique drainage system from overuse by after-hours players.
ANTHONY PLASCENCIA/THE STAR Augustine Mendoza, of Marina Landscaping, maneuvers a mower across the acres of grass at College Park, where a temporary chain-link fence soon will be replaced by a no-climb fence.
