Frequently Asked Questions
What's going on in Washington Park?
Since January 10, 2014, parking pay stations have been active in Washington Park. All parking proceeds are being reinvested in improvements in and around the park, including:
- Better maintenance and security
- Free park-wide shuttle service
- A new park master plan
- Improved safety for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and visitors with disabilities (for example: better signs, barrier-free sidewalks, and crosswalks)
All drivers must pay to park where indicated in Washington Park. This includes members of all Washington Park attractions such as the Oregon Zoo, Portland Children's Museum, World Forestry Center, Hoyt Arboretum, and Portland Japanese Garden.
Quick drop-off or pick-up: If you're dropping off persons or parcels in Washington Park and only need 30 minutes or less, visit www.washingtonparkpdx.org/permits to download a free 30 minute permit. You can also visit the front desk of any venue in the park to receive a permit.
Don't I already pay for parking in Washington Park if I go to the Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center or Portland Children's Museum?
Yes. Parking fees have been charged at the Zoo since January of 2005. Under the prior, pay-at-the-gate honor system, non-members of the Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center, and Portland Children's Museum paid a flat daily rate of $4 to park in the south parking lot. The new Pay to Park system requires all visitors, members and non-members alike, to pay for parking at pay stations in Washington Park. This makes the parking system universal for all visitors and will help alleviate the parking and transportation-related problems described above.
Parking rates vary seasonally (read more below on rates and timing) and in conjunction with the recommendations of the Transportation Management Association. Many trailheads maintain free parking. Map of Washington Park paid parking locations
I am a member of a Washington Park attraction (Oregon Zoo, Children's Museum, etc). Do I still need to pay to park?
Yes, beginning Friday, January 10, 2014, everyone, members included, must pay for parking.
How much will parking cost and what are the pay station hours?
- Rates: Hourly rate $1.60 with a $4 daily maximum during the non-peak season, and $6.40 daily maximum during peak season.
- Seasons: Peak season is April 1-September 30, and non-peak season is October 1-March 31.
- Hours:Pay-to-park hours for the southern end (Vietnam Veteran's of Oregon Memorial lot to west lot and south lot in the Zoo area) - 9:30 AM to 9:30 PM.
Pay-to-park hours for northern end (Hoyt Arboretum to northern entrances of park) - 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
The option for a daily maximum allows people to park, go to the zoo or other attractions with their families, and not have to worry about returning to feed the pay station.
- Quick drop-off or pick-up: If you're dropping off persons or parcels in Washington Park and only need 30 minutes or less, visit www.washingtonparkpdx.org/permits to download a free 30 minute permit. You can also visit the front desk of any venue in the park to receive a permit.
What about Washington Park volunteers?
All partners greatly value the efforts of volunteers. The partners, including the Washington Park TMA, Portland Parks & Recreation, and the Washington Park attractions, are working together to address the needs of the volunteers. Contact the volunteer coordinator at your attraction for more information.
I have a regular disabled placard. Do I still need to pay to park?
Yes, beginning January 10, 2014, individuals with regular disabled placards must pay to park. Individuals displaying "Wheelchair User" placards, please see next question.
I have a wheelchair user disabled placard. Do I still need to pay?
No, individuals with disabled placards that clearly state "WHEELCHAIR USER" are not required to pay.
What about RVs (recreational vehicles)? Do they have to pay to park?
Yes, all vehicles, including RVs, must pay to park. It has been, and remains, difficult to navigate and park RVs in Washington Park due to their large size and the park's topography. RVs are not permitted in areas marked by sign as restricted to oversize vehicles.
Are there spots just for motorcycles? Do motorcyclists need to pay to park?
There are some designated motorcycle parking spots throughout Washington Park; they can also be parked in a traditional parking space. Motorcyclists must also pay to park. Paid parking will be universal for every vehicle beginning on Friday, January 10, 2014.
Do you have to pay to park at Washington Park on holidays?
Yes, beginning Friday, January 10, 2014, paid parking hours will be in effect every day of the year.
How exactly will parking revenues be used?
Parking revenues will be used for transportation-related programs and infrastructure in Washington Park - and ONLY in Washington Park. Projected expenditures will be equitably distributed in the park and include:
- Funding of the Washington Park Transportation Management Association (TMA).
- Completion of the Washington Park Transportation Management Plan.
- Operation of a free shuttle within Washington Park, as well as shuttle service to off-site parking lots and transit stops.
- Development of a Washington Park Master Plan to guide park improvements over the next 20 years.
- Assessment of parking, gateway, and access needs at the north and south ends of the park.
- Completion of the initial south entrance improvements, generally consisting of a new gateway feature, way-finding signage, enhancements and landscaping, bio-filters, and an improved stormwater system.
- Enhanced maintenance of transportation-related infrastructure in the park.
What is the current status of transportation and parking in Washington Park?
Washington Park is one of Portland's most beloved parks; it attracts an estimated three million visitors each year. It is the site of the International Rose Test Garden, Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center, Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Children's Museum, and Portland Japanese Garden, among other attractions.
To get to the park, visitors walk, bike, and ride the bus and MAX, but most still drive cars. As a result, Washington Park currently suffers from parking issues on adjacent neighborhood streets, multiple circulation concerns, traffic congestion around the entrances of the park, crumbling road and transportation infrastructure, and insufficient shuttle service to and within the park. These challenges have been widely recognized for more than 20 years, and all partners are committed to working together to find a workable and equitable solution to these long-standing problems.
Currently, non-members of the Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center, and Children's Museum pay $4 to park in the south parking lot using a pay-at-the-gate honor system. However, not enough revenue is generated from these parking fees to pay for all of the costs associated with maintenance, safety and security, remote lot shuttles, and other parking and transportation issues.
What are the proposed solutions to this problem?
Metro, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R), representatives from the sites in Washington Park, and neighbors have worked together to develop a new transportation management approach for the park. On Wednesday, December 5, 2012, City Council unanimously approved a key element of the plan - to form the Washington Park Transportation Management Association, a new nonprofit organization to provide a forum to resolve transportation issues related to Washington Park. The ordinance had unanimous approval by both Metro and City Councils; City Council requested two first readings, allowing two extra weeks for even more public comment and input. PP&R has authority under City Code to charge for parking as needed, but the Council authorization puts a comprehensive strategy in place, one that allows for this new nonprofit entity to manage transportation-related concerns and options.
The ordinance means we will be implementing a park-wide Transportation Management Plan. For the first time in the park's history, the visitor experience will begin before the visitor arrives at the park: new communication and marketing efforts will inform park visitors with real-time information about the most efficient means of getting to and through the park. In addition, long-neglected infrastructure and transportation issues will be addressed.
What is a Transportation Management Plan?
A park-wide transportation plan will provide a comprehensive approach to managing traffic, parking, enforcement, park access through neighborhood streets, infrastructure, trails, shuttle service, inter- and intra-park transit, and marketing and incentive programs. One example of a proposed improvement: as it stands now, a park visitor might get off the MAX at the Washington Park stop, but find no way to get to the famous International Rose Test Gardens…except for walking a mile on a road with no sidewalks. Free shuttle service throughout the park is envisioned as a welcome solution.
What is a Transportation Management Association (TMA)?
The Washington Park TMA is the new nonprofit entity organized to implement the Washington Park Transportation Management Plan. The TMA will provide coherent, coordinated, and professional management of access, transportation, and parking for the entire park - and serve as a single contact point for public involvement and comment. It is in the public interest to ensure continued and equitable access to the park and its venues by regional residents, Oregonians, and national and international visitors while minimizing parking and transportation safety impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods. The TMA will do that work.
What does the TMA do?
The TMA's role and responsibility is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of access, transportation, and parking within and surrounding the park. This includes:
- Coordination and management of a multimodal transportation system that includes private motor vehicles, public transit, bike, and pedestrian access
- Monitoring and managing traffic flow, parking, signage, enforcement, and transportation-related infrastructure in the park
- Management and improvement of shuttle lots and shuttle system
- Coordination with and linkage to area transportation systems including TriMet light rail and buses
- Monitoring park access through neighborhood streets, proposing solutions to resolve issues, and advocating for appropriate investment in resolution
Who is on the Transportation Management Association (TMA) Board?
The TMA includes a Board of nine directors, with representatives of Portland Parks & Recreation, Metro/Oregon Zoo, World Forestry Center, Portland Children's Museum, Portland Japanese Garden, TriMet, Hoyt Arboretum Friends, and one resident each from Sylvan Highlands and Arlington Heights Neighborhood Associations. The boards of these Neighborhood Associations nominate their representatives. The TMA has hired an executive director and is working on development of its organizational goals and structure.
Why pay stations?
Pay stations are the best way to enhance Washington Park's long-neglected infrastructure and to address transportation issues in and around the park. Pay stations are an efficient way to collect parking fees, and the proposal approved unanimously by City Council included sufficient funding to purchase and install the necessary pay stations for an effective paid parking system in Washington Park. All revenue generated by parking fees will stay in and around Washington Park, to improve and maintain the roads, trails, and amenities in the park - ensuring that Washington Park remains a premier attraction for Portlanders and visitors from around the globe.
How many parking spaces are available for pay stations?
There are approximately 1,400 spaces throughout Washington Park; about 1,000 of those spaces are at the southern end of the park near the Oregon Zoo and TriMet MAX station. The plan does not include or call for any paid parking on residential streets; the TMA will take into account neighborhood concerns, and serve as the forum to provide solutions.
When were the pay stations activated?
Friday, January 10, 2014
What is the projected revenue of the transportation management and parking project?
It is estimated that a park-wide paid parking program will generate approximately $2 million per year.
How much will the pay stations cost?
It is estimated that purchase and installation of a park-wide paid parking system with pay stations will cost $800,000.
What authority does Portland Parks & Recreation have to implement a paid parking system?
The Commissioner In Charge of Parks already has authority to regulate traffic and parking in parks under City Code 16.70.560, Traffic Regulations in Parks.
What did City Council Ordinance #185799 (passed in December 2012) authorize Portland Parks & Recreation to do? Click here for other viewable documents.
- Authorized PP&R Director to execute the proposed Transportation Management Association Agreement with Washington Park Alliance venues.
- Authorized PP&R Director to negotiate and enter into agreement(s) for transportation-related services, security, and parking enforcement in Washington Park.
- Authorized PP&R Director to establish a Washington Park parking trust fund for the purposes of receiving all parking revenues and expending funds associated with this proposed Agreement.
- Authorized PP&R Director to deposit up to $800,000 in the Washington Park parking trust fund from the PP&R System Development Charge Fund to purchase and install pay stations in Washington Park. Parking fee revenues will repay the PP&R System Development Charge Fund, including any financing costs associated with this loan
What sort of public involvement took place?
Since 2011, Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) has been meeting with the Washington Park partners (Oregon Zoo, Friends of Hoyt Arboretum, Portland Children's Museum and World Forestry Center), as well as park neighbors, to discuss the serious issues facing Washington Park. In partnership with Metro (which manages the Oregon Zoo), PP&R started a conversation with the surrounding neighborhoods about the zoo's expansion plans, which voters supported through a recent bond.
From April 2011 through June of 2012, PP&R and Metro hosted a series of nine public workshops to discuss Washington Park. What began focused primarily on the Zoo's expansion plans evolved into a more holistic conversation about planning and transportation-related challenges that face the park. Throughout that same time period, PP&R met with the adjacent neighborhood associations and their leaders to discuss their issues of concern.
It was clear to all that a comprehensive approach would be required to address the needs of the park, the attractions in the park, the park's neighbors, and all of its three million annual visitors. In addition, it was also recognized that many of the proposed solutions would require new resources, and that parking revenues would be the most viable stable funding for these solutions.
Though PP&R had, and continues to have, the authority to expand the pay-to-park system in Washington Park under City Code, the decision to implement it, along with the establishment of the TMA, was considered significant enough to bring to the City Council for their review and to get additional public input. Ultimately, after two "first" readings allowing public testimony, and independent conversations with various neighborhood representatives, City Council passed Ordinance 185779, on December 5, 2012, which authorized PP&R to move forward with the series of improvements in Washington Park, to be funded by paid parking.
Is there a Good Neighbor Agreement in place?
Yes. A good neighbor agreement is a tool to document common understandings and goals related to management practices of a business or, in this case, the park. All Washington Park attractions/venues and the Arlington Heights Neighborhood Association have signed a Good Neighbor Agreement, which puts in writing the shared agreements about the various improvements and projects needed in the park, with an understanding that the funding from parking would pay for these enhancements. While included in these conversations, the Sylvan Highlands Neighborhood Association did not come to consensus on the Good Neighbor Agreement, and did not sign it.
Please submit your comments here; the City is compiling all comments and will submit them to the new Washington Park Transportation Association.

While fans generally agree on what type of offensive player Adam Jones is (swings at pitches down and away, good power, not very patient), there has always been disagreement on how good he is defensively.
UZR will tell you he's below-average (-9 runs). Baseball America polled scouts and they rated him the second best defensive outfielder in the AL.
Jones has never put up a WAR above 3, and part of this is because of how UZR is not very fond of his defense. I personally believe Jones is a tick above-average in CF.
Adjusting his WAR using my thoughts would make him a ~4 WAR player, assuming his offensive statistics from 2011. Considering Baseball America polled scouts from a number of teams, there are obviously teams that believe he's a well above-average defender, which would make him a ~5 WAR player in their eyes.
CFs that put up around 4-5 WAR last year: Peter Bourjos, Chris Young, Cameron Maybin, Melky Cabrera, Michael Bourn, BJ Upton
Let's also not forget that Jones has yet to enter his prime and still has room to improve.
How do you view Adam's defensive value?

By TERRY WILLISGuest contributor
Saturday morning I was on my usual early morning walk with Maki when we met a lady picking up garbage and carrying it with her as she walked. I had seen her before and was not sure what she was doing. I stopped to chat and found out that she is just a good soul who cares about the path she walks each day.
This day though she was rewarded with a $10 bill that she found on the ground. I think she should end up with much more than that for the good deed she does in cleaning up the trash that is thrown along the Woodhill Road every day.
I meet a lot of interesting people as I walk the roads and single track each day. Last week I encountered a former resident who was back from over seas for a visit. He said he had read about the single track and a friend told him who to contact to get a map of it when he was in town.
Last year my husband and I ran into a guy from Salt Lake who was riding the trail before his son played in the Little League tournament here in Price. He was jealous of the proximity of the trail to our community.
A few weeks ago there was a group of friends heading on to bigger adventures when they pulled up on the hill to camp. Since they had their bikes with them they rode the trail for entertainment in the evening.
There are many locals who are regulars up on the hill as well. There are the two women and three dogs that frequent the hill. I can hear them laughing as they walk from a ways off.
There are several others who also take their dogs up to walk them and let them roam free off the leash.
There is the Wednesday night bike riding group and the early morning hard core riders I pass quite often. There are also the many that drive up to walk their dogs without getting out of their cars.
The hill also fields many four wheelers and dirt bike riders who criss-cross the maze of roads in the area above our town.
I have been passed by many of our local athletes as well who use the roads and trails on the hill for their workout track.
On any given day this area is a community treasure. I have heard that the private land owner wants to sell the land that sits right on top of the hill. I would hate to see this turned into another high end subdivision that limits what we are able to do there.
I challenge the county to consider buying this land for a community open space. People from all over come to our area looking for just the kind of experience we can find right in our own back yard. It would be a crime to lose it.
The community cares enough to use it often. The county and the city have developed recreation for skate boarders, gun sports, 4x4 rock climbers, equestrian events, and many other groups. I think they need to take a hard look at this area as a community resource that fits as a multiple use area. It would make for a wonderful marketing tool to pull in new businesses and tourism.
Maybe no one cares that this area could disappear as a place we can use for walking, biking and four wheeling. I think the lady who cleans up the trash on her walk cares. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and give me your opinion about this becoming a county recreation area.

How Long Will Your Discs & Drives Last?
They might be movers and shakers, but apparently they just can't handle technology—at least not enough to keep their secrets. Many of the headline-grabbing illicit affairs of the past few years involving political and military leaders came to light through an electronic trail of either stupidity or ignorance of how easily things can be traced on the internet. Here are the most infamous examples, from the ongoing Petraeus scandal and beyond.
The head of the CIA wins the prize for technical sophistication. Not that it did him much good. The retired general and his biographer-turned-mistress Paula Broadwell used a Gmail account to communicate without actually sending any email. They wrote messages for each other and saved them using the save-as-draft function; the other person would then log in to the account to read them. According to The Atlantic, it's a tactic used by many of the terrorists Petraeus pursued while leading U.S. forces.
Petraeus also used a pseudonym for the Gmail account, but none of that was enough to keep the affair from coming out. Broadwell's anonymous threatening emails to Tampa socialite Jill Kelley were enough to trigger the salacious avalanche of details that has kept the media occupied for days.

Sugar Allergy
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Sugar Allergy
Every time I eat anything with a lot of sugar, I start to get on edge, aggravated, mad, and down on my self. After all of those things go away I start to get sleepy and sometimes wanting something else sweet. Is this a sugar allergy?
Hi - just saw this thread while searching info on sugar allergies. I'm hoping to get more info on the biology/science behind sugar and physical reactions.
I noticed a couple of people mentioned they have trouble breathing after consuming sugar, as do I. For me any kind of sugar - cane, honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, apples, grapes, dried apricots etc etc - make me "high", I get itchy, mucous forms in my nasal passages, and then I have difficulty breathing (throat closes over, feels like a heavy weight on my upper chest, breathing becomes laboured - this can be brought on by eating as few as 5 raisins, or 1/4 teaspoon of sugar).
I have been tested as allergic to sugar but a lot of comments in this thread suggest that isn't possible - specific types/sources of sugar yes, but not sugar in general. I've read about fructose malabsorption but that doesn't seem to match up as an explanation either.
Sweet vegetables - carrots, yams, corn - are fine, but sweet fruit and all processed sugars are not. Any ideas on the chemical processes going on here? I assume there has to be some kind of logical explanation.
I'll spare you the details of all the tests and frustrations and simply say: in case anyone else searches "sugar allergy" and comes across this thread - check out Candida albicans as the most likely solution to overall sugar intolerance. Easy to test for, and easy to deal with, especially if you're down to eating nothing but meat and greens.
Re: Sugar Allergy
I have also been told that I have a sugar intolerance, to not only white refined sugar but brown and
As a type one diabetic I am struggling with the concept of how I am to deal with hypoglacemia when I am not meant to have any of these products?
Although the theory of keeping my sugar levels stable all the time is great it's not very realistic .
Any advise would be great

Mind-Body Medicine
MBM Students Bring Some "Positive Deviance" to the 2013 National Wellness Conference09/03/2013
According to a conference presentation made by two Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine students, traditional health programs resemble "quick-fix" solutions, rather than leading to sustained change and long-term health improvements.
Saybrook Faculty Member Conducts Research Project on Work Motivation and Retention in Nursing08/30/2013
The health care profession is famous for burn-out - but also for the selfless dedication of its practitioners. Why is it that some well-meaning practitioners to happily devote their lives to serving others, while equally well-meaning heal care providers succumb to the stress and hardships they face?
That's the question underlying research now being undertaken by Saybrook faculty member Dr. Devorah Curtis, along with colleague Dr. Mary Moller as they prepare a pilot study to identify work motivation and commitment factors that impact staff and faculty nurse retention.
School of Mind-Body Medicine PhD Candidate, Carrie Phelps, brings Mind-Body Medicine to the 2013 National Wellness Conference08/26/2013
Carrie Phelps is a PhD student in the Healthcare Systems specialization in Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine. (Carrie Phelps is seen on the left above with colleagues at the National Wellness Conference). Carrie has been attending and speaking at the National Wellness Conference for the past 16 years. This year's Conference was especially rewarding for her as she presented with her friend, Saybrook colleague, and business partner Char Conlin. Char and Carrie conducted a breakout session called Contrary to Popular Practice: Building Wellness Programs for the 21st Century to a packed house. The presentation was based on the information revealed in Carrie's and Char's pilot study, which focused on the examination of the characteristics and attributes of a traditional health promotion program within an organizational system (in order to gain a deeper understanding of what works and what doesn't work within traditional health promotion programming).
New MBM PhD Address National Wellness Conference on Food Addiction and Physician Biases toward Obese Patients08/21/2013
LaVera J. Forbes, PhD, is one of the first two PhD graduates of the School of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University. On May 13, 2013 she passed her dissertation conference, based on her dissertation on: Food Addiction: An Overlooked Cause of Persistent Overweight and Obesity. On July 17, she presented her Saybrook dissertation research at the National Wellness Conference (NWC) in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The NWC is one of the most prominent North American conferences on wellness, health promotion, and health and wellness coaching. Dr. Forbes spoke on the topic of food addiction and physician weight bias. Her session educated participants on the recent theoretical advancements that explain some aspects of modern obesity, helped them identify the symptoms of food addiction and signs of physician weight bias. She gave participants a variety of new tools and resources for incorporating the concepts into their own lives or wellness programs.
Saybrook Student and Faculty Presentations at ICNAP Phenomenology Conference07/15/2013
ICNAP is the snappy acronym for the Interdisciplinary Coalition of North American Phenomenologists. This diverse group of scholars from philosophy, psychology, literature, technology, communications, health sciences, and other fields, met at the end of May for their fifth annual conference in Mahwah, New Jersey. ICNAP was held at Ramapo College of New Jersey, a small liberal arts college near New York City. Approximately 70 people attended the conference. The modest number of people allowed newcomers to introduce themselves to luminaries in the field, and the modest size of the campus allowed informal conversations between conference sessions.
Two School of Mind-Body Medicine Instructors Pursue Research on Coaching and Self-Determination07/10/2013
Dr. Devorah Curtis and Dr. Lisa Kelly's article, Effect of a Quality of Life Coaching Intervention on Psychological Courage and Self-Determination, was featured recently in the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital's e-newsletter. McLean Hospital is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. This citation is evidence of the growing interest in and acknowledgement of the importance of rigorous research demonstrating the efficacy of life coaching interventions in fostering self-determination. According to self-determination theory, human wellbeing is dependent upon meeting three basic human psychological needs: autonomy, relatedness and competence. Dr. Curtis (2011) found in her research that by meeting these three psychological needs, psychological courage increases leading to more intrinsically motivated value-based actions.
Pathways with Heart: Reflections on Professional Identity and Mind Body Medicine: June 27 Videoconference with Dr. John Patterson06/06/2013
School of Mind-Body Medicine faculty member John Patterson will speak on Mindfulness on June 27 (5:30 PM Pacific) in Videoconference.
"Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you." The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Casteneda
Faculty and students in Saybrook's School of Mind Body Medicine are participating in a transformational process that is expanding the biomedical model that has dominated health care, medicine and mental health for the last century. There have been many trail blazers of mind body medicine's philosophy, knowledge and procedures, many of whom have been associated with Saybrook from its inception. As we follow these professional paths with gratitude, we will modify, refine and extend them. We will develop pedagogical, research and clinical approaches that draw from these historic roots and speak to today's needs and challenges.
Saybrook University Mind-Body Medicine Doctoral Student, Patricia McKeen, Operates Albuquerque New Awakenings Counseling Clinic05/29/2013
Prior to starting her studies at Saybrook, School of Mind Body Medicine, Patricia had been searching for a program that would expand her knowledge of mind-body medicine and help her to continue to integrate what she was already championing at the New Awakenings Counseling Clinic. Patricia owns and operates New Awakenings located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The clinic serves approximately 700 people per month and of that figure 98% are mandated by the court system to be in treatment. Patricia finds that while initially the clients do not want to be in treatment, or at New Awakenings, something shifts after about 90 days and then clients want to stay. In fact, according to client satisfaction surveys 80-90% of respondents express that they want to continue to engage in services offered at New Awakenings, and of the 80-90% that want to stay, about 60% remain past their mandated treatment date, a testament to the influence of a client-centered practice that works with many different dimension of person.

BOUNTIFUL - Lynn died peacefully in her home with her two kids by her side on Oct. 21, 2011 after a long, courageous bout with breast cancer. She lived with it so well and for so long, that it barely seemed to interfere with her full life. She spent her last day surrounded by family and friends and her last words were how much she loved her grandsons.
She was born Clara Lynn Varner on Nov. 13, 1941 to Jim and Evelyn Varner in the coal mining town of Columbia. She grew up adoring her older brother VeLoy, and insisted on keeping up with him on their adventures to Range Creek and Scout Hill. She graduated from Carbon High School and Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's Degree in Home Economics.
She took a teaching job at Ben Lomond High School in Ogden. Soon after, she met her future husband, Wayne Trenbeath, who loved the outdoors and who was "so handsome he swept her off her feet." They were married July 18, 1964. They raised two kids, Eric and Erin, and as a family they enjoyed many outings together boating, skiing, camping and traveling the country. Lynn influenced her children greatly with her love and patience and by encouraging them to be whoever they wanted.
Lynn excelled in her career, springing from her beginnings as a home economics teacher to eventually becoming the Assistant Superintendent of Davis County School District. She went back to school in midlife and earned a Master of Science in Education from the University of Utah, and an Administrative and Supervisory Credential from Utah State University. During her career she also managed a group home for teenage girls, taught courses at the University of Utah, and the Utah School for the Deaf. She also served as Director of Nutrition Services and as the Supervisor of Home Economics for Davis County.
She was a dedicated women's and children's advocate supporting the YWCA and Head Start. She served on numerous boards including the Cancer Wellness House and received many awards for outstanding leadership.
In both her professional and personal life she was an inspiration to all who knew her, and she left anyone she met with the profound feeling that they had made a new friend. She was a generous woman of incredible strength and perseverance. She was a devoted wife and mother, and she never stopped talking about how proud she was of her children. Her greatest joy in later years became her grandsons, Jackson and Harrison, and she loved having them over to Ya-Ya's house after school to do their homework and jump on the trampoline. She lived full in the face of her long illness, and when it began to greatly interfere with her life, she was gone. She did always say, "A lady always knows when to leave a party."
Lynn was preceded in death by her husband and parents. She is survived by her brother VeLoy Varner (Carol), son Eric, daughter Erin Trenbeath-Murray (Jeff), and grandsons Jackson and Harrison. A funeral service will be held Thursday, Oct. 27, 2011 at 2 p.m. at Capitol Church 1010 E. 700 S. Please sign her online guestbook at www.russonmortuary.com. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Cancer Wellness House.

Record revenue, production in 1st half of year
Last Wednesday, a Utah Railway train 104 cars long inched its way under a thick black stream of coal at the Horizon Mine's Wildcat loadout.
It was a sight that hasn't been seen at the site off Consumer's Road since February 2010, a sign of the increased production going on.
"It's a job creator," remarked Dan Baker, chief executive officer of mine owner America West Resources. While the loadout itself employs about a half dozen people, the mine supplying the coal further up the canyon is now up to 130 workers above and below ground.
The mine has secured two big contracts with PacifiCorp and the Intermountain Power Agency, Baker explained, and has moved from mine development to full production.
Horizon is now producing at a pace of about 500,000 to 600,000 tons per year, according to Richard Bourdeaux, managing director coal sales and engineering for America West.
It has also geared up for much smaller sales. As of Monday, Baker said, the mine will be selling by the pickup load as well, providing lump and stoker coal for individual users.
For the first of of 2011, America West has posted a 67 percent increase in revenue, going to $7.5 million from $4.5 million for the same period last year.
The Horizon Mine specializes in production of "compliant coal" - high BTU, low sulfur - suited for power plant boilers.

SACKETS HARBOR The future of the theater and mess hall buildings at the Madison Barracks complex remain in doubt as the villages Planning Board will consider a proposal next week from Lawler Realty to demolish them.
Lawler has owned the brick buildings, at 117 and 123 Pike Road, since January 2011.
The military developed the buildings in the late 1800s and abandoned them toward the end of World War II.
In its application to the village Planning Board, the developer wrote the buildings have been abandoned for 66 years, though the theater building has hosted some small community events in the past five years.
The developer described the property as functionally and economically obsolete. Among the functional problems the developer cited are inadequate and exposed wiring and plumbing, out-of-date equipment and faulty design. Lawler also called the property obsolete because of a reduction in property demand and failure to adhere to the principal of the highest and best use.
Michael A. Lawler, in a phone interview Thursday afternoon, said he would like to save the buildings but estimated the repairs would cost from $8 million to $10 million.
What kind of use are you going to get to get that return of investment? he asked.
The application lists no plans for redeveloping the sites. Those sites are zoned to allow commercial and residential uses. Asked if the property could be sold to someone else to develop it, Mr. Lawler said nobody in their right mind would pay 10 cents for this.
He said his options for the building were either I knock it down, Mother Nature tears it down or somebody comes up with money to do something with it.
On Wednesday night, village Planning Board members toured the buildings with Michael W. Campbell, a developers representative.
A reporters request to join the tour was denied; Planning Board Chairman Gary M. Gibson cited potential liability for the village if an injury occurred.
Mr. Gibson could not be reached Thursday to discuss the buildings condition.
At the village Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday night, Mayor F. Eric Constance voiced skepticism about the need to destroy the buildings, telling Mr. Gibson he hoped the Planning Board would consider that although money may not be available today for renovations, it did not mean that money would not be available in the future.
The Planning Board will discuss the potential demolition at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the village office.

President Obama promised on Monday to pursue yet another controversial agreement with Russian officials to further slash both governments' nuclear arsenals, saying the United States already controls more than enough atomic weapons. Speaking ahead of a global "security" summit in Seoul, South Korea, Obama also blasted the regimes ruling North Korea and Iran.
Despite several high-profile disagreements in recent years, outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev praised the Obama administration, saying relations between the two governments had reached their "best level" in a decade. Obama, meanwhile, thanked Medvedev for his "cooperation" and said he could not have asked for a "better partner" in Russia.
"Going forward, we'll continue to seek discussions with Russia on a step we have never taken before — reducing not only our strategic nuclear warheads, but also tactical weapons and warheads in reserve," Obama said during a speech at South Korea's Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. "We can already say with confidence that we have more nuclear weapons than we need."
Shortly after taking office, Obama vowed to pursue a "world without nuclear weapons," drawing praise from anti-nuclear activists but criticism from a broad range of others. And in 2010, the administration convinced the U.S. Senate to ratify the highly controversial new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) with the Russian government. The treaty, which cut nuclear stockpiles by one third, was hailed as Obama's first major foreign policy achievement.
At the time, outraged American critics complained that the deal significantly weakened U.S. national defense capabilities and further eroded national sovereignty. But as Russian President-elect Vladimir Putin prepares to take office again, Obama is again demanding deeper cuts.

Prof. Taylor is internationally known for his work on the American Philosopher-Psychologist, William James and his scholarship regarding Swedenborg's influence on 19th Century American popular culture.
On his topic for the evening, Prof. Taylor says: "Harvard Professor William James, MD, with his monumental Principles of Psychology (1890) became a God father to the launch of psychology as an experimental science in the US in the late 19th century; he was a co-founder with Charles Peirce of Pragmatism, the first uniquely American philosophy to have international consequences, and with John Dewey and others a primary intellectual force behind the American Progressive Era. His Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) was the first text in the new psychology of religion to take religious experience seriously from a scientific point of view, and as a pioneer in the scientific investigation of human physiology, psychic phenomena, and dynamic theories of the subconscious, James helped launch the modern field of psychotherapeutics. As a professor at Harvard he became a guide and mentor to generations of famous Americans, among them, Teddy Roosevelt, Walter Lippman, Helen Keller, and W.E.B. DuBois.
His father Henry James, Sr., an interpreter of Swedenborg, and his God-Father, the Concord transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson, bequeathed to James an intuitive, psycho-spiritual legacy of character formation that James was forced to accommodate to the more rigorous scientific dictates of the era in which his own thought matured.
Our lecture will explore the early roots of William James's ides as a way to demonstrate the widespread but still under appreciated influence of Swedenborgian and Transcendental thought on American culture

From Alumna Lezlie Kinyon, MA '99, PhD '06
Mornin' everyone, There will be a symposium at UC Santa Cruz sometime this summer (date not set) to celebrate the Grateful Dead archive opening. I seem to know a bit about Celtic Rock and the organizers asked me if I could present a bit about how the Dead have influenced this genre. I hear some evidence and have heard musicians talk, of course.
What I'd like to do is interview a few Celtic rockers & present some musical examples. Could anyone assist by a) connecting me with Celtic rock musicians and b)pointing the way to a little funding...? (It's fine to pass this note on .. )
Thanks Lezlie firstname.lastname@example.com

As Saybrook becomes a university, how can it maintain its existential-humanistic roots? How can it hold onto its identity as the scholarly home of the humanistic movement, where students have studied and continue to study with founding fathers, lineage holders, and current leaders in our respective disciplines, whether HTP, Human Sciences, Consciousness & Spirituality, Organizational Systems, Social Transformation, or Integrative Health? What are your thoughts?
I believe that each new college under the Saybrook umbrella should continue to be a citadel of personal transformation, where individuals are able to grow and reach their highest potential as human beings and scholars.
I also believe that the existentially-focused, person-centered, relational-milieu experienced at Saybrook's RCs; the parity experienced among students, faculty, and staff; and the cultivation of multiple mentoring relationships throughout one's matriculation, all contribute to the transformational quality of the Saybrook experience.
Do you agree with all or any of the thoughts above? What would you add or change, and what can we do to insure that whatever the "secret ingredients" that have contributed to Saybrook's success, these elements will be maintained or improved upon at each of the new colleges as Saybrook grows?
Alumnus, George Aiken, MA ('01), PhD ('06)

Those "Dream Job" spams are showing up on a lot of comment websites. Isn't there anyway to block, prosecute or otherwise stop these b*ast*ds from invading comment forums?
The AN2 may be the same AN2 of which I took photographs at Varadero Airport in 1971.
The AN2 was converted to a crop duster. Previous photos at Pearls Airport found on the web have the aircraft's wings "attached".

LOCKPORT NY - Just five months after being burned with lighter fluid Phoenix, the Jack Russell terrier is ready to hit the road.
On Thursday, Phoenix went to the GM Lockport plant to help employees there raise money for the March of Dimes.
Half of the $900 dollars raised was then donated back to help with Phoenix's medical expenses.
Photojournalist Dooley O'Rourke was on hand to watch Phoenix work the crowd.

POINT BLANK with WFAN'S MIKE FRANCESAAbout 30 minutes on the latest and on the NYI
Friends: Point Blank will re-open Friday with all I can provide for now – my interviews with NHL newsmakers from the SNY studio. After laying low for 48 hours on the press credential issue, I agreed today to a round of interviews with about a half-dozen friends and journalists I admire and trust. This ends tonight with a phoner with Jeff Marek on "Hockey Night in Canada" Radio at 5:45 pm and an appearance on "NHL Overtime" on VERSUS at 11:00 pm. Then I'll go away again for a while on the subject. Here is my bit with Mike Francesa of WFAN that went from 2:30 – 3:00 today. See you tomorrow. Thanks, everyone.

A fraction out in the cropping and the images would have jumped about like the Keystone Cops. Better safe than sorry Al.
Seven images...but I can only give one award sadly...here tis.
The light is sublime, detail and colour fabulous and clouds that I could look at all day.
Never expected an award on this when I was doing it. Many Thanks Alan, makes the image worthy of the time spent in the processing.
I have to say that it might never have seen the light of day without the help of emjaycee.
Quote: This is brilliant. I just wish I could vote.
You could give a UA?
Thanks very much Diane, it was a rewarding experience putting this together and getting as good a response as it has.
How lovely!
I like watching the light change over mountains, too; but as soon as I have a camera in my hand I have this urge to move on. One day I may learn patience . . . .
Quote: **Run your cursor from left to right to see the light change.
Ha, ha! very clever. Couldn't work that out at first.
Many Thanks Moira, I'm delighted with the reaction to this little mini series.
Mousing over doesn't just create a little animated film, it also increases the sense of depth as the cloud shadows show up different contours in turn. It's something that I love to watch, looking over towards the north side of our valley.
Quote: your a nice witch Moira with this cunning example of getting your own way while appeasing the masses.
Thanks for the compliment. I think...
I've commented on your image my friend, a compliment was the intention.
Well thanks very much Jeanie, I'm delighted with your User Award.
The awards say it all, Dougie. Well done, my friend.
Joan many thanks for your UA but it's all down to you or this would never have been posted, so well done to you as well as a very big Thank You.
Cheers Rog, never had 6 awards at the one time, I'm overwhelmed.
If only my Internet connection would allow I can say great light and great sky - might have to come back for another try
Many Thanks for your award Yung, a new experience for me with all these awards. All very specie indeed.
Well - if that's not well done - what is??? Amazing sequel,
A beautiful composition, but is it really Scotland ? It's not raining.Sadly,I've stopped holiday-ing north of the Highland line,'cos it just rains all the time.

p> A good network of bus routes covers the city and this is the main form of public transport. Buses are given exclusive use of certain lanes within the city, and as a result the services are fairly free-flowing. Exact change is required as one enters the bus, so buying a One-Ticket pass is a convenient option: this allows unlimited travel in and around the city. Night buses come into operation after midnight, offering an economical way to get home after a night out. Black taxis are easily hailed in the street and there are numerous taxi ranks, but rates are a bit expensive. Rental cars can be useful for touring the country, but driving around Edinburgh's one-way, narrow streets can be confusing, and parking is difficult to find. The city is definitely best explored on foot for those who can handle the steep roads; in fact, any other mode of transport will deprive visitors of some glorious sights.
GMT (GMT +1 from last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October).
The electrical current in the UK is 230 volts, 50Hz. Flat three-pin plugs are standard.
The currency is the British Pound (GBP), which is divided into 100 pence. ATMs are available in all towns and Visa, MasterCard and American Express are widely accepted; visitors with other cards should check with their credit card companies in advance. Foreign currency can be exchanged at bureaux de change and large hotels, however better exchange rates are likely to be found at banks.
The international country dialling code for the UK is +44. Mobile phone coverage is extensive, using GSM 1800 networks which may not be compatible with some dual-band US cell phones. Internet cafes are available in all major towns and cities, train stations and airports and wifi is widely available.

Edinburgh has a temperate, maritime climate which is relatively mild considering the city's northern latitude, but may still frustrate tourists with plenty of cold, rain, wind and fog year round. Edinburgh, like the rest of the UK, has very unpredictable weather, with sunny summer days sometimes rapidly changing into damp, showery bleakness or vice versa. Summers are generally fine though, with mild temperatures and bright sunshine, although days might start out misty. Winters are long and damp with many frosty days. The winter months of December, January and February are the rainiest (although rain is likely in any season) but snow is infrequent. The average temperatures in summer, between June and August, range between 49°F (9°C) and 66°F (19°C). The average temperatures in winter, between December and February, range between 34°F (1°C) and 45°F (7°C). The best time to travel to Edinburgh is during spring and summer, between April and August.
Airlink 100 buses connect the airport and the city centre every 10 minutes, from early morning until after midnight, and cost £4; the journey takes approximately 30 minutes. There are many alternative buses, including Night Bus N22, Service 35 and Jat 747, that run to the city centre via a couple of stops en route. Stops for public buses are situated on the terminal forecourt road outside the main entrance.
There is a car rental centre located next to the parking area, connected to the terminal by a covered walkway. Car rental companies include Alamo, Avis, Europcar, Budget, Thrifty, Hertz and National.
The taxi ranks for airport taxis and city black cabs are outside the east end of the airport terminal. The drive to the city centre takes approximately 25 minutes.
Facilities at the airport include ATMs, a bureau de change, shops, a pharmacy, wifi, a children's play area, baby change rooms, restaurants and bars. The Aspire Lounge is available to departing passengers on the first floor past security; bookings can be made online via the airport's website. The airport also has an art gallery displaying Scottish works near Gate 12.
A multilevel car park is located just across from the terminal building; pricing is £1 for 10 minutes, £5 for 20 minutes, £7 for an hour, and £9 per hour thereafter. The long-term car park is a few minutes away; a courtesy bus ferries passengers to the terminal.
Free wifi is provided for two hours per day per device.

We know, dear readers, that first-rate celebrity fashion and runway looks are your obsession and focusÂ--no doubt. YouÂ're also hugely interested in (and opinionated about) the personal style of fellow WhoWhatWearDaily.com readers. We are too! Today weÂ're pleased to introduce you to Carling, 24, a Vancouver resident who works in advertising for an alternative weekly paper. She sweetly told us that she finds fashion inspiration in her creative pals and is devoted to thrifty, vintage shopping. Read on for CarlingÂ's insights on her cityÂ's scene and what bag sheÂ's currently coveting.
Who are your favorite designers?
These might be obvious answers but Hussein Chalayan, Stella McCartney, Karl Lagerfeld, and Marc Jacobs are designers that consistently interest me.
What are your favorite hometown stores?
My favorite clothing stores to shop at are True Value Vintage, Goon Pack, One of A Few, The Block and Used (which also has an amazing selection of vintage jewelry).
Who are your personal style icons?
Anna Karina, Patti Smith and Mary Kate Olsen.
What are your favorite new trends for fall?
I love that grey is so popular for fall and also all the lovely knits.
What trend are you totally over?
WEDGES! I never liked them in the first place. I think they look tacky.
Do you have any beauty tips?
I LOVE Kiehl's! I use only their products on my face. I would never use anything else. I also never wear foundation. I like a fresh clean look, so I wear minimal makeup.
Right now, every girl needs a ... ?
Great pair of boots. I usually stick to flat, suede boots and think a vintage pair would be ideal. TheyÂ're just more attractive to me than new ones.
Where are your favorite places to go out?
Hoko's for karaoke. The Railway Club is the best old bar in the city, itÂ's a great venue and place to hang out, plus it still has a smoking room. The Royal Unicorn in Chinatown is a good dance party on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Also, Shine on Mondays has a 50's sockhop night. I love eating out and I love wine. Salt, Chambar, Lolita's, Habit, Parkside,
CaponeÂ's, and Cassis are my favorites in Vancouver. I go to a lot of movies and wander aimlessly around the city.
WhatÂ's on your iPod right now?
Sonic Youth, Black Mountain, The Modern Lovers, Ratatat, Will Oldham, The Make-Up, Neil Young, The Ponys, Television, and LCD Soundsystem.
What are your essential monthly magazines?
Hobo, I-D, Gourmet, Film Comment, Uncut
What piece in your wardrobe/jewelry box do you wear the most?
My boyfriend recently bought me this simple yet stunning silver ring from
Tiffany. I wear it every day.
If you could raid anyone's closet, who would it be and why?
Lou Doillon, for sure. I think her style is so perfect.
Where do you go to stock up on great, inexpensive items?
The West End Community Centre has a monthly flea market that is the best for unique, cheap jewelryÂ--I love it! (604.257.8333, 870 Denman Street)
If you had $1000 to blow on one item for fall what would it be?
Probably the Marc by Marc Jacobs Delancey Bag in Bordeaux ($698, eLuxury.com)
What item of your wardrobe do you rely on during the fall?
Scarves! I am obsessed with long ones, preferably in a solid color. The Balenciaga scarves this fall are totally up my alley too. [We like Free PeopleÂ's Tie Die Scarf! ($38, freepeople.com)]
