Back in the 1950s Queens Grocery and Gas was a bustling small-town business.
Situated on Pennsylvania Avenue in Bessemer City, the mom-and-pop shop met the needs of residents and those passing through.
Evelyn Queen ran the store back then. Through the years, the business changed. It moved locations, over to Virginia Avenue. And the family opted to lease the space.
The lease recently expired, and the family is ready to revive the old business.
Queens General Store is under renovation. The building admittedly became rundown and lacked personality, according to part owner Keris Lemaster.
Lemaster lived in Bessemer City decades ago. Her husband was from the area.
For 30 years, Lemaster has lived in Spartanburg, S.C., and worked in real estate.
To implement the resurrection of the family business, Lemaster is moving to town. She said she plans to be a hands-on business owner.
�I think it�s a great opportunity for me to take this on into retirement then pass this on to my girls,� she said.
New gas pumps will be installed at the store. A patio will be added along with a coffee bar inside.
Lemaster said Queens General Store will have an old-timey candy counter, and patrons can stop in for breakfast and lunch.
The extent of the menu will be determined later.
Old pictures of Aunt Evelyn and some of her hand-crafted quilts will hang on the walls for the revamped business.
Lemaster called Evelyn Queen a pioneer of her time. Lemaster said her husband�s grandmother was also an entrepreneur, operating a boarding house beside the general store.
Lemaster intends to draw from that entrepreneurial spirit and reopen the Queens General Store in late spring.

1971 Chevy Vega - The JegaWritten by Johnny Hunkins on June 19, 2013 Contributors: Robert McGaffin Woody's Hot Rodz builds a trend-busting '71 Vega for an industry icon
It all started as a joke. Chris Sondles-principal owner of Woody's Hot Rodz in Bright, Indiana-was shopping with his wife one day when he found a peculiar yellow Hot Wheels car. The Chevy Vega Hot Wheels toy had a big-block Corvette stinger hood, fat tires, and proclaimed to be a big-block car. As chance would have it, the 99-cent toy was painted "Jegs" yellow, so Sondles bought it, and mailed it to his long-time friend, Mike Coughlin as a gag Christmas gift. Yes, that Mike Coughlin, who with his brothers Troy, Jeg Jr., and John, oversee Jegs, the giant mail-order speed shop.
"I'd been building cars for Mike since 2006," says Sondles. "We both had an affinity for Vegas because of our fathers. His dad, Jeg Coughlin, raced one in Pro Stock. My dad, Fred, worked at the Vega plant in Lordstown, Ohio, where they built them, but he also had an ISCA show-winning Vega."
Historically, the Vega's compact dimensions and light weight made it a staple of race cars and street machines through the '70s and '80s. Built in an era where V-8 powerplants were ubiquitous even in lightweight domestic compacts, the '71-75 GM H-platform compact was never offered with one, although much to their credit, engineers left enough room for one. That made it perfect for going fast on the cheap. Nevertheless, the Vega and its H-platform stablemates have long since fallen out of favor with hot rodders due to their scarcity.
The lack of interest in a classic rear-drive compact that could famously swallow a V-8 sounds odd in light of the fact that GM built nearly 1.9 million of them from 1971 to 1977 (Chevy and Pontiac combined), but these cars lived hard, short lives. Their unsleeved aluminum four-cylinder engines swilled more oil than gas, and their poorly treated steel bodywork turned to rust after precious few years. Most have already returned to the earth from whence they came. But we said most.
Sondles dives into the story: "A couple of weeks after Christmas 2010, Mike called me at the shop and his words to me were, 'Hey, we've gotta build this thing.' I said, 'what thing?' And he said, 'this Hot Wheels car.' I told him the hardest part would be finding one that's not rusted. That's when he says, 'No worries, I bought one off eBay today!' " A few weeks after that conversation, a car carrier pulled up to Woody's Hot Rodz with a rust-free, one-owner, low-miles '71 Vega GT. "It even came from Michigan," says a bewildered Sondles, pointing out the state's propensity for accelerated oxidation.
It was crystal clear that Mike was serious, so Sondles made one more trip to the supermarket—ostensibly for another Hot Wheels car. This one would be sent to artist Josh Shaw of Shaw's Hot Rods with Sondles' instructions: "Do the Hot Wheels car, but make it more real to life, and make the design ours." At first blush, those instructions might sound cryptic, but the intent was understood—this was going to be an all-new car, with nothing being shared with the original except the outer skin. It also was going to be a major departure from the Jegs tradition of drag racing—this Vega was going to fully embrace the art of handling, both on the road and on the track.
One of the greatest challenges in building a car like this is that the aesthetics of style and stance don't necessarily translate easily into a car that's practical, fast, or enjoyable to drive. Getting the stance and wheels to look right while maintaining proper ground clearance for the street and razor-sharp handling on the track meant ordering an Art Morrison Max G chassis specially designed for the Vega. Now dubbed the "Jega" (short for Jegs Vega), the finished car would essentially be a Morrison chassis skinned with a Vega body.
With Shaw's rendering in hand and Morrison's Max G chassis eagerly hugging the ground in the corner of the shop, Sondles and crew stepped into the job without wincing. Sondles explains: "The first thing you have to do is cut everything away from the car that's not going to be there in the future. Everything from the core support to the taillights was one piece, so you eliminate everything you're not going to need, which is everything but the exterior sheetmetal from the firewall back."
This build was not going to be anything like the V-8 Vega hot rods built from engine-swap kits back in the day. Those were usually no more than a salvage yard small-block mated to a set of engine-swap headers and a pair of custom motor mounts. Coughlin had been very specific in his powertrain instructions: a 454ci LSX crate motor would have the displacement and thrust of an old-school big-block (a Jegs hallmark), the compact dimensions of a small-block, and the reliability of a new Corvette. Putting all 620 hp and 590 lb-ft of twist through a unibody that was assembled by an indifferent union shop over 40 years ago was not in the cards. The Morrison Max G chassis would easily handle the punishment of both road and powertrain, but first it had to be mated to the body.
The unibody was channeled over the Morrison frame, with 2.5-inch rocker panel extensions doing a nice job of subtly altering the Vega's proportions with a road-hugging profile. As work progressed, the artisans at Woody's built temporary scaffolding inside the body to hold the Vega skin to its factory dimensions while the work progressed. Sondles elaborates: "You have to build an internal cage that will be removed in order to keep the car square while you're working on it. Once you get all the stuff you don't need removed, then you need to start adding all the stuff you need for the full chassis, which consists of rebuilding the firewall and making an entirely new floor and tunnel from the firewall to the tail pan."
The process of putting a full frame chassis like the Morrison Max G under a unibody car is a well-established procedure, but Woody's Hot Rodz departs from the norm in one significant way: their bodies are not welded to the chassis, they're bolted on. "When we make a unibody car into a full chassis car," Sondles says, "we do things a little differently in that we don't weld the body onto the chassis; it's unboltable. We use rubber body mounts, giving it a better ride, and it's removable in case there is a need for repair."
One area that saved Sondles a bunch of time in the fabrication area was the availability of fiberglass body parts for the Vega. Sondles explains: "You can actually find bolt-on fiberglass parts that were made back in the day. They still make them new if you can believe it. We got the front valance, lower front grille area, rear valance, and the wing all off the Internet." These were subsequently modified to more closely match Shaw's rendering. Also of note is the front bumper, which was modified to resemble the split bumper of a '71 Camaro-another key design element of the original Hot Wheels car. Once all the critical fabrication was complete by Dane Heninger, the car was painted in-house by Woody's Hot Rodz and the steady hand of master painter Jamie Reedy. The color? PPG Jegs Yellow!
The construction deadline was the Goodguys 15th PPG Nationals in Columbus, Ohio, this past July, and it was finished with no time to spare. The 18-month build time was miraculous in light of the sheer volume of fabrication, but the throngs of curious visitors at the Woody's Hot Rodz booth told the story, as did the big smile on Mike Coughlin's face. The real shakedown, however, would come at the inaugural Popular Hot Rodding Muscle Car of the Year (MCOTY) competition, which was covered in the Dec. '12 issue of PHR. Since then, the Jega has become acclimated to the rigors of the road, and now resides with Mike Coughlin, who loves sharing rides in it with his sons Clay and Jack.
As for the Morrison Max G chassis, the Vega version has gone into regular production, and a couple more have been sold for Vegas, as well as a slightly longer wheelbase version for the '75-80-era Chevy Monza, Buick Skyhawk, Olds Starfire, and Pontiac Sunbird. Apparently, the GM H-body is beginning to see a resurgence as hot rodders are awakening to the idea of superlight, ultra-short wheelbase street machines that can handle. It's a trend we'd like to see revisited with other platforms too. We can only imagine what a similar '70s Ford Pinto, Mustang II, Dodge Colt, Pontiac Sunfire, or Olds Starfire would be like with the right chassis and powertrain!

Side marker lights from a '69 Camaro give the '71 Chevy Vega GT—renamed Jega—a more muscular car look. "The stock ones are big and ugly," says builder Sondles. The trick to hiding the Max G chassis and making it look badass was channeling the body over the 2x4 chassis, and adding rocker panel extensions.The L88-style "stinger" hood design is lifted from the big-block C3 Corvette, and repurposed here for the Jega, the inspiration for which came from the original Hot Wheels toy that was later incorporated into the Josh Shaw rendering. "We used the stock hood and just grafted the aftermarket fiberglass scoop into it," says Chris Sondles of Woody's Hot Rodz.The LCD screen of the Holley Dominator EFI has been mounted in the center console stack and provides an easy readout for engine functions via virtual gauges. With a touch of a button, it can transform into a tuning tool for the engine and electronically controlled transmission, all without the need of a laptop.
Don't let the stock-looking interior fool you. Beyond the reuse of some interior trim panels and the dash, it's all new, including the floor and firewall. Before being reupholstered, every square inch of the cockpit was covered with Dynamat. Wise Guys provided the seat frames and foam, which were then reshaped with bolsters and upholstered by Matt Baldwin at Woody's Hot Rodz.The real star of the show here is the Art Morrison enterprises Max G chassis, which when armed with an appropriately stout 9-inch rear, a rear Watt's link, 13-inch Wilwood discs brakes, and a Woodward racing rack-and-pinion, serves as a formidable basis for supercar performance.The real star of the show here is the Art Morrison enterprises Max G chassis, which when armed with an appropriately stout 9-inch rear, a rear Watt's link, 13-inch Wilwood discs brakes, and a Woodward racing rack-and-pinion, serves as a formidable basis for supercar performance.
Owner Mike Coughlin was fully in charge of picking the powerplant and the transmission, and "he wanted to go real fast," Sondles says. When Coughlin was a kid, nothing was cooler than a big-block, but now that Chevrolet Performance produces a 454ci LSX long-block, he could have the best of both worlds. The 620hp Gen IV has been finished out with a FAST LSX-R intake, 102mm throttle body, and a Holley Dominator EFI system. Note the engine setback and all-new firewall/cowl area.

Hearing bombshells
Benghazi Attack House committee listens to six hours of dramatic and emotional testimony on the Benghazi attacks | J.C. Derrick
WASHINGTON—Three U.S. State Department whistleblowers provided congressional investigators with a series of dramatic revelations Wednesday during an emotional hearing on the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others.
The House Oversight and Government Reform (OGR) Committee heard six hours of tense testimony from witnesses Gregory Hicks, former deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya; Mark Thompson, the deputy coordinator for operations in the State Department's Counterterrorism Bureau; and Eric Nordstrom, a regional security officer in Libya in the months leading up to the attacks.
Several big moments marked the hearing, including an email Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said proved that senior State Department officials knew on Sept. 12 the Benghazi attacks were a terrorist event—despite repeated Obama administration attempts to blame an anti-Islamic YouTube video. Gowdy waived a copy of the email from Elizabeth Jones, acting secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs, which he said discussed the terrorist group responsible for the attacks. Why then, Gowdy asked, did Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, go on five Sunday talk shows with a "monstrously false narrative" five days after the attacks?
"I cannot answer that question," Hicks said.
Hicks said he spoke with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at 2 a.m. local time (8 p.m. EDT) on the night of the attacks, and she never asked how they occurred—he assumed she knew it was terrorism. But Clinton issued a statement blaming the YouTube video, and she repeated the same story in subsequent interviews and public appearances.
Hicks, who was often slow and deliberate in his response to questions, said he was "jumping up and down" when Libyan President Mohammad al-Magarief—during a national U.S. television appearance on Sept. 16—laid blame for the attacks at the feet of the Islamic terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia. But Rice immediately contradicted al-Magarief's comments on the same Sunday show, claiming the YouTube video had sparked a phantom mob that attacked the Benghazi consulate.
"I was stunned," Hicks said. "My jaw dropped. I was embarrassed."
He wasn't the only one: Two weeks later, when Hicks met with al-Magarief, the Libyan president was still angry and embarrassed. Hicks said Rice's comments not only insulted al-Magarief, but they also undermined his standing in the eyes of his countrymen, hampered U.S. relations in Libya, and slowed the FBI investigation.
Hicks said both Clinton and President Barack Obama called him in the aftermath of the attacks to commend him for his conduct, but the tone from Washington took a sudden turn the following week. Hicks asked Elizabeth Jones why the administration had allowed Rice to make blatantly wrong statements on national television. She said she didn't know and "the sense I got was that I needed to stop my line of questioning," Hicks said.
The State Department then ordered Hicks not to allow himself and other top officials in Libya to be interviewed by Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican member of the OGR committee from Utah who conducted a fact-finding mission to investigate the attacks. Hicks said it was the first time he'd been forbidden from talking with a member of Congress.
After Hicks talked with Chaffetz anyway, he received a call from a "very upset" Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's counsel and chief of staff, who in the 1990s was in the middle of the Clinton White House scandals. (Mills also prepped State Department officials in October 2012 for the only preelection Benghazi hearing.) Hicks said he has since been "effectively demoted from deputy chief of mission to desk officer."
"[Hicks] won't help them cover this up, so he's given this kind of treatment from the people who praised him before," said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, during yesterday's hearing.
All three witnesses said they did not know who issued orders to "stand down" during the attacks, which came in three phases over eight hours, but they rejected the notion that military assistance was too far away to help.
"We live by a code, and that … says you go after people who are in peril. Those people in peril in the future need to know that we will go get them," Thompson said. "It is my strong belief that we should have demonstrated that resolve, even if it resulted in the same outcome."
After opening statements, Hicks commenced with a 30-minute play-by-play account of the events of Sept. 11 from his perspective in Tripoli. Despite his vast knowledge of the events—and his position as the deputy chief of mission in Libya—Hicks said the FBI never interviewed him, and the Accountability Review Board (ARB), which issued a report in December, conducted only one two-hour interview he felt was insufficient. Furthermore, Hicks was never allowed to review his testimony, read the classified ARB report, or read the unclassified ARB report before it was released.
"If you haven't been allowed to read the classified ARB report, how do you know your testimony was used properly?" asked Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich.
"I don't," Hicks responded.
OGR ranking member Elijah Cummings, D-Md.—while saying he is "glad these whistle blowers are here"—questioned the motives of Republicans on the committee, especially Chairman Darrell Issa of California. At least three Democrats blamed the Benghazi attacks on GOP budget cuts, although Issa emphatically refuted the accusation.
Prior to the Sept. 11 attacks, officials in both Benghazi and Tripoli requested additional security for the embassy and consulates, but the State Department denied those requests. Some of the diplomatic officials, including Hicks, were so concerned for their safety that they requested permission to receive training on how to handle guns.
In sworn testimony at a hearing in January, Hillary Clinton said the requests for more security never reached her desk. But a line of questioning on Wednesday by Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla., cast serious doubts on that claim:
Lankford: "Mr. Hicks, when you arrived in July, did the facilities in Benghazi meet the minimum OSPB [Overseas Security Policy Board] security standards set by the State Department?"
Hicks: "According to the regional security office—at the time in Tripoli, John Martinek—they did not."
Lankford: "What about the facilities in Tripoli?"
Hicks: "Again, according to the regional office, John Martinek, they were very weak."
Lankford: "Were they close to meeting the standards?"
Hicks: "No, sir."
Lankford: "Mr. Nordstrom, before you left as RSO [Regional Security Officer], did the facilities have the number of security personnel that you had requested?"
Nordstrom: "No, they did not."
Lankford: "There are a very, very small number of facilities worldwide that are considered by GAO [Government Accountability Office] critical or high threat level for personnel in our different embassies and consulates. Tripoli and Benghazi—were they listed as high-threat level?"
Nordstrom: "They were."
Lankford: "By statute, who has the authority to place personnel in facilities that do not meet minimum OSPB standards?"
Nordstrom: "… Since we were the sole occupants of both of those facilities, Benghazi and Tripoli, the only person who could grant waivers or exceptions to those is the secretary of state [Hillary Clinton]."
Lankford told me after the hearing he was pleased with the information the committee gathered. He said many more questions remain, such as who ordered Special Operations troops to stand down, and why security was so poor that diplomats had to request weapons training.
A Rasmussen poll released last week found 78 percent of Americans think it's important to find out the truth about what happened at Benghazi. Only 32 percent gave the Obama administration credit for sufficiently explaining the attacks.
Republicans on Wednesday vowed to continue the investigation, specifically calling for testimony from the men who produced the ARB report in December: Adm. Mike Mullen, a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering. Issa said both man have so far refused to appear before the committee.
"This hearing is closed," Issa said as he banged the chairman's gavel, "but this investigation is not over."

My husband rides it low gas all the time as always we are Broke. So he puts 5 dollars here and there much too often instead of just filling once. .So now it has been sitting in drive way to cold out to trouble shoot.I just put new battery as the other was not worth jumping to many times . The codes read catalyst Mon inc -- Htd catalyst--evap system Mon inc--oxygen sensor mon inc-- oxygen sensor htr inc Co 227 co226 co 225 also left front wheel speed sensor circuit open or shorted history.At the top of reader I forgot to say It read OBDII-EOBD I think you should have a lot of badges showing as you seem to have helped lots of people on here.. I try so hard to fix things with out repair shops I usualy luck out .Please tell me a

The leftover tag list has been up on the G&F website since June 19th when the draw results were posted.
As soon as you have a spare room ! I'll be getting laid off here sometime between July and Dec.. I'm going take my severence pay and then put house up for sale and getting the hell out this commie state. Housing market is up here and a few in my hood have sold well over what what I owe on mine. Finally.... I'll probably sell the 40 next to the Rattlesnake's too. Good to hear from you !
Sorry to hear about your impending layoff. I hope things work out for you. Maybe its time to make that move to WY.
If you buy a place in WY make sure its big enough for me to throw a sleeping bag down and it preferably needs to be near some good fly fishing waters and have deer and antelope in the back 40.
I probably need to pull the plug on my job and western WA. Too many people here and their starting to get on my nerves. I find myself making too many trip of 4-6hr to go to E.WA to recreate.
I figured it was the kick in the butt I needed ! Probably be Oct.. You will be welcome anytime and for as long as you want ! You can fly fish the South and North Fork of Shoeshone till you drop. I noticed they cut doe tags and didn't even offer some in that area this year. You got Wy. doe tags didn't you ?
I hope things work out for you and you can find work in WY. Me and a friend have two area 83 doe antelope tags each and two WT doe tags each in area 119. The WT doe tags were easier to draw. I'm hoping to fish the N fork of the shoneshone and the big horn. We will probably stay in a camp ground in Thermop unless we can find a place to put his truck and trailer.
He's going to fly to seattle to meet me and then I'm taking him to MT to pick up his truck and trailer. I'm hoping his rancher friend in MT gets his rig ready to go by the time we get there. Every thing he had in MT was in rough shape and no doubt his rig is. I told him I'm going to drop him off and head to WY to fish and start filling my tags. I have to have a full two weeks for my elk hunt in late Oct. I really like to kill a 340 or better bull on that tag. I'll never live long enough to get another.
I don't know what you do but there is plenty of work in Western WA if you can put up with the Libs and traffic. You welcome to stay at my place if you need to. I'm heading to AK next week to work on a fisheries ground fish servey for 3 weeks and just when I thought I's have the whole summer off. Oh Well. Been running 3-5 mi 4 days a week and lifting weights feel pretty good for a guy that will be 63 in a week.
Hey Fish,
Some guys on here are going to tell us to PM or email . Lol ! You have a few tags to fill this yr. ! Your trip to Ak. should be fun also . Bring some salmon and halibut back ! You are 63 ? Wow ! I turned 56 today and my son 21. Birthdays are same day so I get a tinder every year on how old I am ... I may pick up a doe lope tag but the areas and type around my deer hunt aren't good. Good ones sold out in draw. Keep in touch and let's email so as not to upset the grumps on forum . Lol !
Don, will you guys PM or email! LOL! Happy B-day to you and your son!

PHOTO OP: Vika + Bepa's intimate post-match LOLA
Victoria Azarenka grabbed her first victory in five tries over Vera Zvonareva in the Aussie Open fourth round
The Belarussian basher fell behind a set and 2-4 before rattling off the last 10 games to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-0. She'll face defending champ Serena Williams in the quarterfinals.
Since I'm always mindful of offering you guys the ATP's best MOMA moments and because I consider myself an equal opportunity objectifier, I thought it was only fair to give you some LOLA courtesy of Vika + Bepa. It looks like they're about to do more than swap coaches. Now, wouldn't THAT be an interesting end?
Anyway, enjoy boys...and girls.

>The Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant is not releasing partially treated sewage into the local waters.
If I were to invite you to a fish dinner using fish caught in the waters around Bay Park, would you readily accept?
...I didn't think so.

"During the decade that they were in charge, the Democrats allowed the Bay Park plant to fall into an appalling state of disrepair."
Actually, the plant has been a disgrace for a long time, and under both Republican and Democratic rule (including Purcell, Gulotta, Suozzi and Mangano). It wasn't until the sh&* literally hit the fan after Sandy that it because absolutely necessary for someone to do something about it.
Yes, it's appalling that the Democrats are holding up payment (most likely so that if Suozzi wins the election in November they can claim the repair as their own), but let's not pretend that the plant was running at peak efficiency until 2002, when a Democrat was in office.

So I get another completely inappropriate use of tax money mailers from a GOP candidate for this coming election. This time its a letter from Mr Santino, complaining that the Herald 'refused' to print his letter so he is forced to mail it to each and every voter in his district. Lo and behold, the next day the letter is printed in the Herald. Do the tax payers get reimbursed?
Am I the only one who is disgusted at the frequency of 4 color mailers at election time telling us of the wonderful job these public servants are doing? The one from Fran Becker actually crossed the line to political mailing. I'm really wondering why the Nassau Dems or the TOH Dems if there are any aren't suing for misuse of tax payers money.
Another thing: Mangano has banners hanging at the entrance to the Beth page State Fair. NO ONE has ever done this before and someone told me he has banners on the parkway overpasses. Not campaign banners, either.
Plus this: There is a law against putting signs on grassy medians and on light/or other poles. What about some fines? The county could run for years on fines from this activity.

I wrote to Kevan Abrahams 3 times about this issue. Never replied. Forgets his an elected official in place to serve the people. Maybe he doesn't know what it is like to walk outside and smell this plant, let alone have poop flood your house in a hurricane. Going a great job Kevan lol.

"Carbon monoxide level when we got on the scene was relatively high," Dan Pfannenstiel, assistant chief of the West Metro Fire Protection District, said. "The fire fighters had to go on air in order to go and make sure everybody was out."
The issue happened in the 9500 block of Hialeah Place in Jefferson County in a single-family home around 11 a.m.
The Finnegans, their children, and a neighbor were among the 10 people taken to St. Anthony Hospital in Lakewood. They spent six hours in the emergency room where doctors can conduct hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
They were released around 6:00 p.m. Tuesday night. All patients are expected to fully recover.
Over the years, Colorado has seen various carbon monoxide poisoning situations. From college dormitories to ice arenas to homes. The worst situation was in 2008 when the Lofren family, two parents and two children, died while staying at a home in Aspen.
Their deaths led to the passage of a law requiring carbon monoxide alarms in all new residential structures or remodels.
In the Finnegan home, Pfannenstiel says there were no working carbon-monoxide detectors in the home at the time of the leak.
"Great takeaway message is to make sure everybody has a functioning and properly located carbon monoxide detector in their structures," Pfannenstiel said.
It is unknown at this time how the leak happened. Xcel energy inspected the home and its gas furnance and hot water heater. An Xcel spokesman says the source of the leak has yet to be found.
A West Metro Fire Protection District official, Gary Armstrong, says an HVAC expert will be called in to inspect the ventilation system before the family is allowed to return home.
"This could've had an entirely different outcome had this happened in the middle of the night," Pfannenstiel said.

The waiting room at Capital City Care looks like a typical doctor's office -- hardwood floors, clean open space and a friendly receptionist behind the front desk. But before patients can pass into the back room, they must first scan their index finger to prove they are allowed to be there.
Alicia Lozano, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The waiting room at Capital City Care looks like a typical doctor's office — hardwood floors, clean open space and a friendly receptionist behind the front desk.
But before patients can pass into the back room, they must first scan their index finger to prove they are allowed to be there.
Capital City Care will be D.C.'s first medical marijuana dispensary when it opens later this month. Located within sight of the Capitol Building, at North Capitol and New York avenues, this strategically placed business will serve patients suffering from life-altering diseases such as cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and AIDS/HIV.
The dispensary is opening its doors as attitudes across the country are shifting on marijuana use.
The Maryland Senate passed a medical marijuana bill Monday afternoon paving the way for a prescription program in the next few years. The House of Delegates previously approved the legislation, and it will now move to Gov. Martin O'Malley for signing.
In the District, voters approved medical marijuana in 2010.
Colorado and Washington state decriminalized general marijuana use in November. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that 52 percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana, though 32 percent say that smoking pot is "morally wrong."
The owners of Capital City Care are careful to differentiate between these two issues. They say their goal is not to legalize pot, but instead to provide patients access to medicine.
To become a member of Capital City Care, or any dispensary within District limits, patients must pass a robust screening process. First, they must obtain a doctor's referral. Then, the patient will register with the D.C. Department of Health and select one dispensary to use as their primary medical marijuana source. Once the patient designates a dispensary, they can only use that one.
After receiving a medical marijuana card, the patient must overcome a few more hoops before receiving their medicine.
At Capital City Care, a member will present the card to one of the armed guards at the front door. Then, he or she will show the same ID to the receptionist, who will usher the patient into the back room after a fingerprint scan.
Once inside the product area, patients can select from an array of smokeable marijuana, edibles and concentrates. They can also purchase paraphernalia like pipes and rolling papers in a separate room.
While the process sounds daunting, it is meant to deter the kind of fly-by-night operations common in states like California, where some can obtain medical marijuana cards from "420-friendly" doctors that advertise online.
"There is accountability at every stage of the process," says Capital City Care's communications director Scott Morgan.
Even the marijuana is carefully labeled and screened to ensure the highest-quality product. Pests and pesticides need not apply.
"It's being regulated right from the same department that pharmacies are regulated out of," says general manager David A. Guard. "{The Department of Health} is scrutinizing us even harsher because of the fact that this is a Schedule 1 drug … and we invite that kind of regulation."
At Capital City Care, the patients come first, Guard and Morgan say. They will have access to counselors who can help them cope with their illnesses, along with experts familiar with different strains and their healing properties.
"It's common that a patient will try a couple of different varieties and find that one is really better than others for treating their symptoms," Morgan says.
"Indica is known for helping with relaxation and sleep, and the sativa strains are better with helping mood and things like that and are more popular with patients for daytime use because it's not as sleepy."
Both Guard and Morgan have personal stakes not only in the success of Capital City Care, but also in the future of D.C.'s Medical Marijuana Program. Collectively, they have been pushing the medical marijuana lobby for more than a decade.
Guard says he has been involved since 1998, when some states first started passing legislation for prescription pot. He became interested in the issue after watching a close friend suffer from terminal brain cancer. His Virginia oncologist recommended cannabis, and the treatment eased some of his pain until his eventual death.
Morgan became sympathetic to medical marijuana as a teen plagued by chronic migraines. He says this is one of the first issues he voted on as a senior in high school.
Fifteen years later, the team behind Capital City Care is finally seeing their dream come true.
"Now these patients are finally getting their safe haven," Guard says. "They don't have to turn to the streets, the back alleys at night."

Perfection can add an extra layer of stress, but trainer Tom Wenzel said he isn't feeling any added pressure heading into Sunday's $50,000 Hastings Handicap for older fillies and mares at six furlongs.
In the Hastings, Wenzel saddles Northwest Farms' brilliant 4-year-old filly Stopshoppingdebbie, who carries high weight of 122 lbs against a talented field that includes stable mates Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie, along with the Jim Penney-trained stakes winners Madame Pele and Finding More.
Stopshoppingdebbie drew the outside No. 8 post-position with regular rider Rocco Bowen up. Unbeaten in five career starts with earnings of $128,773, the Kentucky-bred daughter of Curlin has impressed in workouts this spring, capped by a sparkling six furlongs from the gate in 1:10.20 last Saturday.
Lots will be expected from Stopshoppingdebbie this season, obviously, but the stoic Wenzel said it's a matter of perspective.
"I wish I had more physical gifts when I was an athlete because I never got too nervous or worked up about things," he said. "I can't say that I don't get a little bit nervous (before races) because that would be unnatural. Even with 'Debbie's streak on the line, I don't feel pressure from that.
"She's going to do what she's going to do. I'm a little more on edge on race day, of course, but that's to be expected."
Wenzel said Stopshoppingdebbie hasn't missed a beat this spring, logging nine workouts capped by Saturday's gate drill.
"Training and racing throughout last season, 'Debbie was always 100 percent," Wenzel said. "She's come back every bit as good this year. She had a really good workout from the gate. She's definitely ready. She's going to do her thing, whatever that is. Hopefully, win."
Wenzel said Goin to the Window and Blueberry Smoothie also are training well.
"Goin to the Window has a big upside talent-wise, but whenever I ran her a mile or longer, she struggled in the gate, Wenzel said. "I definitely think there's some more potential there.
"Blueberry Smoothie probably has the least amount of raw talent of the three fillies, but she's a hard-trying little filly."

The jockeys' colony bolstered its ranks this week when Peruvian native David G. Lopez pulled into Auburn to compete in his second season at Emerald Downs.
Fifth in last year's standings with 52 wins, Lopez' return means the top nine riders from last season are all back. Traversing through the barn area Thursday morning, Lopez said he was happy to be back and ready to roll.
"I just got in yesterday, but it's good to be here," Lopez said. "I have three mounts Friday and then I ride almost the whole card on Saturday. After the meet, I'll probably go back to California, but I plan to stay here for the whole season."
During the Emerald Downs off-season, Lopez worked under contract for top Peruvian trainer Oscar Pena back in his home country. Lopez also made a trip to Argentina with Pena to ride Dr Action in the Carlos Pellegrini Stakes (G1). Lopez also plans to ride the 4-year-old Argentinean colt in the $200,000 Charles Whittingham (G1) on May 24 at Santa Anita.
At Emerald Downs, Lopez will work alongside agent David "Marbles" Singer, looking to build on his 1,093 career wins and nearly $19 million in earnings.
Isaias Enriquez will be in Seattle Monday night to throw out the first pitch before the Mariners game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Game time is 7:10 p.m. at Safeco Field.
Enriquez earned the honor by winning last year's riding title at Emerald Downs, and joins 2012 riding champion Juan Gutierrez as EmD jockeys with first pitch honors at a Mariners' game. Gutierrez threw out the first pitch before a Mariners-Orioles game last June, and nailed a 70 MPH strike.
Enriquez said he plans to practice throwing with his agent, Vito Lucarelli, a former catcher at Western Washington University.

The twists begin when Trish Klein, the only offspring of Robicheaux's Vietnam-era buddy, starts passing marked hundred-dollar bills in local casinos. Is she a good kid gone bad? A victim's child seeking revenge? A promiscuous beauty seducing everyone good within her grasp? And can Robicheaux make peace with his friend's murder in time to figure out how a local mobster fits into all the schemes and death? Will his life be whole again when it has been shattered by so much tragedy?
In Pegasus Descending, James Lee Burke explores psyches as much as evidence, and tries to make sense of human behavior as well as his characters' crimes. Richly atmospheric, frightening in its sudden violence, and replete with the sort of puzzles only the best crime fiction creates, Burke's latest novel is an unforgettable roller coaster of passion, surprise, and regret.
©2006 James Lee Burke. All rights reserved; (P)2006 Simon & Schuster. All rights reserved.
"The novel is steeped in complex personality studies, lyrical prose, and richly drawn depictions of Mr. Burke's beloved bayou country." (The New York Times)
"With peerless naturalistic descriptions and lush, metaphysical imagery, Burke creates another challenging morality play for his flawed, everyman hero." (Publishers Weekly)
"Everything that makes this series so compelling - the elegiac, seductively lyrical prose; the complex character of Robicheaux; the lovingly evoked bayou setting - is here in abundance....The fact remains that no serious reader of hard-boiled fiction should ever miss a moment of Dave Robicheaux in action." (Booklist)
I have been a James Lee Burke fan for years, having read every single one of his books once and sometimes twice, or more. This is the first book I have listened to and at the beginning I had great fears because Dave was such a close friend.
Will Patton does an absolutely amazing job of narrating Pegasus Descending. Though I had a different voice for Dave (a good friend is from Baton Rouge and I was using that deeper more accented voice in my head), Patton very soon won me over.
I have always been in love with the beauty of the language that Burke uses. "...sunset like the gilt edge on a Bible." He summons such detailed images to your mind like no one else can do. There is a small scene where Robichaux is drunk and he's watching the man next to him in a bar peel an egg. I was in that bar, smelling the smells, seeing the little chip of egg shell on the man's finger. Maybe I was tipsy too. It's a small, but amazing scene.
The story is one of Burke's best. Robichaux has been settled down in his heart by his new wife and this gives him a new maturity and grace. It's a quite wonderful change to see. The characters are terrifically written and Will Patton does a most excellent job, an award-winning job with the voice of Monarch. He's captured the winningness of his personality as well as the evil and danger that lurks there.
I would guess that there is a not a person who reads that would not love this book.
If you haven't read the Robichaux series from start to finish, you have such a treat ahead for you. I wish I could have them surgically removed from my brain so that I could again read them for the first time.
I think there are 15 books in this series and Robichaux is FAR from becoming a tired, re-formulated hero (such as Lucas Davenport). I hope Mr. Burke has 15 more books in him.
I have most of Burke's books in print, and now I want to own them all in Mr. Patton's voice.
Really, I can't recommend this highly enough.
"A must listen"
If you've done any listening at all, you know that a narrator can make or break a book. The combination of James Lee Burke's writing and Will Patton's narrating a Dave Robicheaux story is on a par with Dean Koontz and David Aaron Baker's rendition of the Odd Thomas books. The narrator makes the book come alive. I've listened to The Tin Roof Blowdown and Crusader's Cross, and both are worth a re-listen, but this is Burke at his best. Audible has some other Dave Robicheaux books but I probably won't listen to them because they have a different narrator. This is not a criticism of the narrator, but Will Patton is the embodiment of the New Iberia detective. I never have trouble identifying the character speaking because of the many voices Patton uses. His Louisiana accent gives a marvelous flavor to this very well written book. Burke's wonderful descriptive phrases are generously scattered throughout the book. I bought the book for my wife to read and she enjoyed it as much as I did (she prefers reading, go figure). I would give this book more than five stars if I could.
"Terriffic Listen!!"
One of James Lee Burke's best!!
I would rank it 1-2 with his "The Tin Roof Blowdown".
It's definitely a "can't put down" listen!!
A couple breaks Dave Robichaux gets are a bit far-fetched, but it doesn't distract from story.
Highly Recommended!
"One of Burke's best."
Burke is always good, but this one may be his best. All elements of his writing and storytelling are at their peak here, from his vivid imagery and apt metaphors to his dark insights into human nature, and he tells one of the most riveting stories Robicheaux has yet wandered through, all with an attention to language most writers these days don't even understand. This is a great novel for Robicheaux fans, and a great place to dive into the series if you've never read him before.
Will Patton is a very good reader, even though he sounds more Dixie than Cajun and screws up Clete Purcell something awful, not to mention a few local names. He's smart and has an appreciation for Burke's language, and you feel that in this narration. Overall, this is a book to make you fall in love with James Lee Burke, and I can't recommend it enough.
"Great, with a bonus of a little sense of humor"
I love this series for the same reason the other reviewers have listed. The imagery, the unending depth of the characters, and the story lines that are complex without losing you. But one of my favorite parts of this story was the FBI agent who was charmingly bumbling. I laughed outloud (in public) a few times during this story, mostly when she was involved. In the end, it was a little odd, because she didn't end up playing a key role in the story--I hope he brings her back in future books.
I love Burke, I respect his views, I love his themes. This series gets better and better.
"If images had calories...."
If images had calories, this book would bust the most generous diet. It is as rich and complex as a thick steamy gumbo and just as satisfying. Both story and narration are totally entertaining. This book is very well suited for audio. I'd consider listening to this one more than once.
"Floating in the current of JLB's mind..."
This book was wonderful. James Lee Burke has the best way of weaving sights & sounds & smells together that you will wonder in your older yrs if your memories are books you have read or actual events that took place in your life.
Thank you for a wonderfull 12 hrs.
"Burke's Best"
Narration is excellent. The characters come alive & it is difficult to stop listening.
"modern day hard-boiled detective"
I've only read two Dave Robicheaux novels, but if they are all this good I'll be amazed. The story is feels rooted in reality, if not implausible. A gritty detective story with all the necessary elements, sexual depravity, evil psychopaths, corrupted DAs, alcoholic sidekicks, femme fatales... At it's heart is Dave Robicheaux, a man of feeling and depth, with a willingness to kick ass of those who deserve it.
From 4/12/15 on, I will only rate a book 5 stars if it so good I will listen to it again. To date, the Bino series tops that list.
"The Synergy of Will Patton & James Lee Burke."
...is truly masterful. Burke is a master storyteller and Patton's Charleston roots and acting saavy make for the perfect delivery.
This is a story of revenge, life coming full circle for a haunted detetective and the evil housed in the criminals in New Orleans. I know without asking how deeply Burke loves New Orleans. Yet he chooses to expose the corruption and twisted evil seemingly embraced and even celebrated by its citizens. Before we lose hope, there is always a sliver of redemption throughout this magnificent series.
As always, there is an atmosphere of danger and suspense from beginning to end. If you haven't read a Burke novel, now is the time to do so.

Gorgeous weather, perfect locations and creative pictures: After the finals in Leogang (AUT) this weekend, the BURN SNOWPARK RALLY 2011 in cooperation with Völkl announced: "All missions accomplished!"
The crew of Florian Model, Arne Klaas and Christoph Schwarz (GER) won the final mission "contrasts" at the snowboarders'.
The three crews who had won this winter's three online missions came together at the big finals of the BURN SNOWPARK RALLY 2011 in Leogang (AUT) from April 7th to 10th. On Friday, after a relaxing first night in the "Millinghof" estate in Leogang, the participants initially checked out the locations together with professional photographers Lorenz Holder and Alex Papis, pro snowboarders Michi "Stani" Stanschitz (AUT) and Michi Schatz (AUT).
Thanks to the great support by the Leoganger Bergbahnen GmbH, each team had quickly found a location. Bluebird on Friday afternoon and Saturday gave them the opportunity to realize their pictures at perfect conditions. Due to the inventive and photographically impressive results of their mission, it was extremely hard for the jury to choose the winner in both categories.
SNOWBOARD Mission Theme: STYLE & CONTRASTS
The judges particularly praised the picture shot by snowboard winner Florian Model, because he realized the mission "contrasts" in a highly creative way: "The picture contains a fantastic layout with beautiful lines, which accentuate the contrasts very well. We liked that they didn't hand in the photo in black and white, so that the blue shadows are still visible in the background. Moreover, the crew made innovatively use of the obstacle, which is actually a kicker.And the rider's got a lot of style!"
The Polish crew with Adam Chrabaszcz, Michal Gren and Marek Kaczkowski took second, misusing a small chapel as an obstacle. Third place went to David Kurth, Carlo Schmid and Felix Höckel from Switzerland.
The award ceremony took place at the "Outback" bar in Leogang on Saturday evening with DJ Juwee of the Wax Wreckaz delivering the appropriate sound. The ideal conclusion to this genius weekend was the Public Bagjump Session on Sunday, at which all of the participants and friends of the Burn Snowpark Rally had fun on the bagjump in the snowpark of Leogang together.

Results – Finals of the Burn Snowpark Rally 2011- Snowboard
1st Place
Florian Model, Arne Klaas, Christoph Schwarz (GER)
"The winning crew of the Burn Snowpark Rally 2011 Snowboard Finals has accomplished the final mission 'contrasts' in a very creative way. Their photo has an awesome layout with beautiful lines that support the contrasts really well. We also like that they didn't change the photo to black and white but kept the shades of blue in the contrasty background. Furthermore this crew even used the obstacle - which is actually a kicker - in a creative way. And the rider comes with great style! "
2nd Place
Adam Chrabaszcz, Michal Gren, Marek Kaczkowski (POL)
"It was a lengthy discussion about the final ranking and this photo missed the top position only by a few points. The shot comes with a really great spot and sick riding! And the crew found an interesting interpretation of the final mission 'contrasts'. We really like their approach, however we think it could have been elaborated more clearly. Furthermore, the image layout could have been improved. But overall it's definitely an awesome photo!"
3rd Place
Carlo Schmid, David Kurth, Felix Höckel (SUI)
"The 3rd ranked crew has chosen a very creative spot and the action is great, too. However, framing and layout could have been done a little bit better. And we think this crew took a rather easy way to fulfill the mission topic 'contrasts' by changing the photo to a black and white version. But in this case, it didn't improve the overall impression of the shot."

There are only a few places on the planet where you can shred waves and powder on the same day. Cantabria in the North of Spain is one of them; embedded between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pyrenees it takes less than one hour to switch from surfing to snowboarding!

There's no place on earth as beautiful yet simultaneously so hostile as the remote area at the tip of South America, Patagonia. In the blink of an eye the weather can change, with only minutes between bluebird and whiteout. However, those patient enough to wait for this hot-tempered diva to calm down will be rewarded with the finest powder, virgin lines and steep couloirs.
