BULK RATE U.S. POSTAGE PAID ST. IGNATIUS, MONTANA PERMIT NO. 1 59865 Big SKY Country' VOLUME 7 NUMBER 22 FULL MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT MARCH 15, 1978 SOIL AND CONSERVATION MEASURE SNOW AND WATER DEPTH Snow depth and water content measurements were made on the Flathead Irrigation Project Snow Courses near March 1. The measurements were made in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service. All snow courses measured were above normal in water content for this time of year. Water contents of snow courses adjacent to the Mission and Jocko Valleys are 113% of normal while courses adjacent to the Camas Division are 116.5% of normal. The periods of record used to determine the normal water content are 1958 through 1972. The Big Creek (Hellroaring) Course, located at the top of the Mission Range East of Poison, was measured February 28th and found to have 126.6 inches of snow with 45.5 inches of water. The water content is 109% of normal. The North Fork of the Jocko Snow Course, located Southeast of Grey Wolf Peak, was measured on March 1st and found to have 133.3 inches of snow with 49.7 inches of water. The water content is 117% of normal. The Griffin Creek Divide Snow Course, located above Little Bitterroot Lake near Marion, was measured on February 28th and found to have 41.9 inches of snow with 13.2 inches of water. The water content is 114% of normal. Bassoo Peak Snow Course, located Northwest of Lonepine, was measured March 1st and found to have 40.7 inches of snow with 12.5 inches of water. The water content is 119% of normal. Snow courses at lower elevations also showed higher than normal water contents. Fatty Creek Snow Course (El. 5,500 ft.), located West of the Goat Creek Ranger Station, showed 133% of normal water content. Coyote Hill Snow Course (el. 4,200 ft.), located near the Swan-Clearwater Divide, showed 120% of normal water content. Storage in the Mission Valley Reservoirs as of March 1st was 41,000 acre feet which is 55% above normal. Storage in the Camas Reservoirs was 3,400 acre feet which is only 14% of normal. As of March 1st the water supply for the lands of the Flathead Irrigation Project is rated good. Weather and precipitation conditions for the next 30-60 days, however, will have a great effect on the final supply of irrigation water. Low precipitation during March and April could completely reverse the present optimistic outlook. Snow Surveys will again be conducted near April 1st on all snow courses. George L. Moon Project Engineer BPA Transmission Lines Discussed Bonneville Power Administration and the Tribal Water and Power Committee met at the Tribal Council chambers in Pablo on March 6th to discuss two 500 Kilovolt transmission lines between Evaro and Hot Springs. Director Sterling Munro from BPA, explained that the two 500- Kilovolt lines could be built on a 230 - Kilovolt corridor that has been leased from the Tribe since the 1950's. The Water and Power Committee opposed the two 500 - Kilovolt lines, declaring that the lines would result in an illegal use within the lease agreement. The lines would connect with the proposed Col-strip 3 and 4 at Hot Springs. According to Joseph McElwain, President of Montana Power Co., the district court decision disallowing the state construction permit for M.P.C. may result in the cancelation of the proposed project. The proposed Montana Power Co's Colstrip 3 and 4 project has been strongly opposed, not only by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe, but by state-wide organizations, environmental groups, other Tribal governments and private citizens within the state. The power consortiums who have ownership in the Colstrip project are Montana Power Co. with 30%; Oregon's Portland General Electric with 20%; Washington's Puget Sound Power and Light Co. with 25%; Washington Water Power with 15% and Washington's Pacific Power and Light with 10%. Alternative measures have been discussed. Coal mined in Montana could be shipped to the west coast and burned in coal fired gasification plants. It has been the general contention that residents of Montana should not have to suffer the environmental impact that would be created by electrical power sold and transported to densely populated areas on the west coast.

Geocaching is described as a "real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices" on the official website for this unique sport. A quick search of www.geocaching.com also shows that there are dozens of geocaches going on in the 45750 zip code at any given time.
This weekend families are invited to East Muskingum Park to participate in Pioneer Palooza, a kick-off event and unveiling of the county's first geocaching trail.
"We based the model off of the success that the Athens County CVB has had," said Casey Knowlton with the Marietta-Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Their success has allowed them to be part of a national geocaching event, to be held in 2014, and we are hoping to piggyback on their success and filter the audience into Marietta and Washington County, creating a great geotrail network."
Article Photos
Special commemorative coins will be given to the first 225 people to complete the 18-location geotrail.
The local geotrail will consist of 18 locations in and around Marietta and Harmar Village. The first 225 participants to finish the trail will be rewarded with a commemorative coin, celebrating Marietta's birthday.
"This is really a big scavenger hunt that leads to a prize," said Callie Lyons, the project manager of Pioneer Palooza. "People of all ages will have fun with it and hopefully it will lead to bigger events in the future."
Lyons said that every cache will contain prizes from different sponsors and the first person to find each cache will get an "even better prize." While the locations are all within the city of Marietta, it is recommended to travel by automobile as opposed to, say, bicycle, because of the distance traveled.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Pioneer Palooza.
Where: East Muskingum Park.
Details: No cost to participate; advance registration is requested; must provide your own GPS-enabled device
For information or to register: www.mariettaohio.org/pioneerpalooza
4 to 6 p.m. - WMOA will have a live remote.
6 p.m. - First three cache locations revealed; Family-friendly party with games and prizes.
7 p.m. - Performance by the Ohio Valley Opry, sponsored by Eramet.
9:30 a.m. - Host hotels release cache clues to overnight guests.
10 a.m. - "Westward Home" landing ceremony in East Muskingum Park.
10:30 a.m. - Public launch of Pioneer Palooza geotrail.
"We are estimating that this is about a four to six hour trail," she said, adding that while there is no terrain that is inaccessible, she would advise against wearing flip flops.
The caches will be hidden enough that the general public won't stumble upon them but not so well-hidden that they will never be found.
"We want everyone to be able to participate ... there are some spots that will surprise people and others that many will know," she said.
This is a family-friendly event and people are invited to participate as individuals or in groups. Participants will sign up on geocaching.com and are encouraged to leave feedback about the trail and their experiences to hopefully help the CVB with any future events.
Entertainment will be provided by the Ohio Valley Opry on Friday evening and on Saturday at 10 a.m., a group of travelers retracing the 926-mile journey of Rufus Putnam by bicycle and kayak will return for a welcome home ceremony. Their excursion can be followed at westwardhome225.com.
Several area businesses have donated prizes for the event, including the Cook's Shop, where owner Ken Kupsche said he in not a geocacher himself, but has educated himself a little about it since learning of this Pioneer Palooza.
"It sounds like a fun event and there are a lot of folks who are interested in geocaching who may also be interested in history and this would bring them to town," he said.
As an avid mountain biker, Kupsche said he has come across geocachers in the woods.
"I always thought they were looking for mushrooms but now I know what they were doing," he laughed.

This summertime idea for creative play is brought to you by Melissa & Doug, written by our Blog Ambassador Valerie Deneen.
Savor every moment of the summer–it goes by so quickly! -Val
Soon the kids will be done with school. . . . It's time to start making plans for summertime fun! One effective way to make the most of your time together is with a Summer Bucket List. What is a Summer Bucket List, you ask? It's a list of activities, crafts, creative play ideas and anything else you can dream up that you would like to accomplish before the end of summer! Our family makes a Summer Bucket List every year, and it's a great way to savor every moment of summer. I thought you may want to make one of your own, too.
First, invite your child to brainstorm activity ideas with you, and write them down together on colored note cards. We usually write one idea per note card. Be sure to include a variety of ideas for both indoor and outdoor play!
Some examples of activities you may want to include are:
- Visit a pick-your-own farm.
- Make ice cream together.
- Play in the sprinkler.
- Make a Trunki Town.
- Blow bubbles.
- Draw with sidewalk chalk.
- Have a lemonade stand.
- Make beaded necklaces.
- Make s'mores together.
- Go camping (or camp indoors!).
- Play with blocks.
- Have a pretend sand bakery.
Once all of your activities are written down, fold up the slips of paper and place them in a bucket! We love our Clicker Crab Pail by Melissa & Doug!
Once your bucket is full, you'll be ready to face the summer with plenty of play ideas to keep the kids busy and having lots of fun.
Valerie Deneen is the author of Inner Child Fun, where she inspires parents to spend more quality time with their kids, and less money doing it. Inner Child Fun celebrates simple pleasures for all ages—with more than 1,000 frugal and creative projects sure to bring out the "kid" in you too! Follow Valerie on Twitter or say "Hi" on Facebook.

New EPA leader will also fight against coal
January 4, 2013
It would be nice to expect that Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson's resignation means relief for coal country. It does not, sadly. President Barack Obama's war on coal will continu....
I seen on WTAP where "American Electric Power wants to make its customers pick up the $61.8 million tab for repairs resulting from last summer's severe storms."
I wonder if they will blame that on President Obama's "So Called War on Coal" when that forces electricity prices to go up?
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It doesn't matter. Coal, like wood, is an energy source of the past. Automobiles (and homes) of the future will either run directly on natural gas or will be electric, recharging from a power plant which generates electric from natural gas. Our remaining coal deposits will be exported to Asian countries and others with poor environmental standards. Coal is dead.
5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I wonder? What if? What if the Coal Industry took ALL of the money it spent over the last fifteen years on Lobbyists, K-Street Lawyers, Political Campaign Contributions, and Media Advertising about "Clean Coal' and instead had spent that money of actually making "COAL CLEAN," how much more coal could we be using?
Realistically, we have right here several hundred years of fuel. Isn't it about time we figured out a way to use it without killing ourselves?
5 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There is no "war on coal" it's a war on environmental destruction. Coal mine owners want you to believe their nonsense so they can make more money and spend less on workers' safety and environmental protection.

Hi, I am completely new to media servers and streaming media so please bear with me. I have PMS set up on my desktop computer, which is wired internet into a router. The PS3 is also wired into the same router.
I enabled Network Discovery (I'm on Vista) and restarted PMS, but I get the big red X button display and says the PS3 has not been found, even though it is on and connected to the internet. Nor when I navigate on the PS3 and "Search for Media Servers" does it work - I get the error message "No media servers were found."
The PMS "Traces" tab seems to indicate that all is correct, and says I should see the server appear on the XMB...so I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Do I need to set something up on the PS3 to enable media server streaming? Any help would be much appreciated!

One group of Tri-state students is getting ready for Opening Day.
Fourth-graders at St. Veronica School in Mt. Carmel will be marching in the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day Parade next Monday.
"They are just so excited to be able to be down there for Opening Day. A few of our children have been to the Opening Day parade watching it and the game, but now they are in the middle of it and they are truly excited about it," teacher Pat Hemingway said.
The students practiced at school Tuesday. They are dressing up as famous people and places around Cincinnati. The students researched the person or place that they chose to dress up as and give a speech as part of their classroom lesson.

Many businesses, including a movie theater, could be in the works along River Watch Parkway. (WRDW-TV)
Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- All 400,00 square feet of space is for potential restaurants, stores and possibly even a movie theater.
Developers say now that Costco is here, it's generating more interest from other businesses.
That, according to the mayor, is good for more than just Augusta.
"We are a regional shopping hub, so people will be driving from South Carolina -- they already do for Costco -- driving from South Carolina, driving from Southern counties to come here to shop," said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver.
It looks like a lot of empty space now, but one day, developers hope it will turn into a grand, multi-business shopping center.
"The city stepped up and helped with the project, tax allocation district financing with some of the infrastructure costs. The public investment is really meant to spur the private investment. I think that's what we're seeing here," Copenhaver said.
People all over the area were excited when Costco came to town, but now there are some other businesses they'd like to see.
Patty Godfrey from North Augusta said she'd love to see a Home Goods.
"That'd probably be the top of my list. A Home Goods store and maybe a movie theater would be great," she said.
"A movie theater would be wonderful, because it's so far," said North Augustan Doreen Wetherington.
According to plans for the future of the shopping center, these ladies might be in luck.
Along with numerous restaurants, retail stores and a hotel, developers hope to put a movie theater right next to Costco.
Brokers for the space say they're in negotiations, and people are excited about the idea.
"Movies in particular. We don't always get the movies you'd get here in Augusta, so that probably would be a bigger draw for me," said Judy Portmann of Aiken.
Portmann already drives half an hour to come to Costco, but she says if more stores were here, she's not the only one who would come more often.
Friends Doris Hays, Lorraine Terry and Wetherington admit they'd come, "probably a couple times a month at least, quite often."
"To have an anchor tenant like Costco go in there a little over a year ago now, we knew great things were going to happen. And we believe they're about to start happening now," Copenhaver said.
Everything's still in the works. There are a lot of the negotiations still going on, but according to this map we were given, the movie theater could be built to the right of the Costco.

I prefer Sofa Control. cheaper, and better... no brainer.
Sells for $9.99 now due to a "Summer Sale" discount.
gogomat, I'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. Please refrain from disseminating information without factual basis. It's just simply wrong.
Sofa Control's better cause Mira can't turne off the FrontRow app while working
Shrimpdesign, please contact me using the DevRel address on the Twisted Melon site.
While Mira would win over Sofa Conrol for visuals, I think that Sofa Control's use of Applescript makes it much more functional.
One feature that Sofa Control has that Mira doesn't is an "Open" option for most apps (like Preview and Quicktime) ... it's very handy. For instance, if you have Quicktime open, it automatically takes you to your "Movies" folder and displays it in a Front-Row-esqe menu.
I wrote a little script that will MegaZoom any application that is active, and it's actually very useful.
Wow, don't I feel like an idiot. While editing the description I accidentally pressed the DELETE link and pressed OK on the confirmation. I should know better than to be doing this stuff when I should be in bed instead. :(

At 11:24 p.m. Friday, an officer arrested Kelly S. Hardman, 34, on a charge of possession of marijuana and Jackson County warrants for possession of stolen property, driving while suspended, and no proof of insurance. She was released from the McPherson County Jail after posting $3,000 bond.
At 12:23 p.m. Saturday, an officer responded to the 1100 block of North Hospital Drive for a theft report. The victim had left three rings on a sink to wash her hands and forgotten them when she was finished. She returned ten minutes later to find the rings gone. The value of the rings is estimated at $5,000. An investigation is ongoing.
At 2:44 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to the 800 block of East Kansas for a theft report. A subject had removed approximately $15 in merchandise from a business. Officers identified the individual and conducted an interview. Charges will be forwarded to the prosecutor's office for review.

Foreign travel advice
There is an underlying risk from terrorism. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
There is considered to be a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals, from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.

Coming off a victorious conference opener, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi men's basketball team looks to make it 2-0 when they head to Tulsa to face Oral Roberts on Saturday night at the Mabee Center. The Golden Eagles won their opener, 88-55 over Houston Baptist, on Thursday as well.
• After missing the CMU game due to injury, John Jordan has averaged 16.5 points, 5.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds in the last six games.
• Having missed the first nine games with an injury, Rashawn Thomas made his debut in a big way, posting a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds at Oklahoma. Last time out he posted a career-high 18 points and four blocks.
• After several quiet games in a row, redshirt sophomore Jake Kocher exploded with a career-high eight rebounds and four steals in addition to scoring 14 points.
• The Islanders' 81 points were the most since scoring 82 against UTSA on Feb. 22, 2012. It was the most in regulation in the Willis Wilson era.
• The Islanders took part in a 10-day, four-game tour of Italy in August, a trip that allowed them 10 extra days of practice prior to the tour.
• Though Coach Wilson has his most experienced team with the Islanders, only five players have more than one year of Division I playing experience (Ali, Knowles, Jordan, Douvier, King).
John Jordan is only a junior for the Islanders basketball team, but he's the most experienced player on the roster and one of the favorites for Southland Conference Player of the Year. The Houston native was named Preseason First Team All-Southland Conference by the league's coaches.
He showed his worthiness for that selection in the opening game of the Holiday Inn Downtown Marina Islanders Basketball Tournament. Jordan went off for a career-high 28 points, going 10-for-16 from the field. His final basket gave the Islanders a one-point lead with 4.2 seconds remaining en route to a 72-71 win. He added 18 points and nine boards against Tennessee Tech.
He suffered an ankle injury earlier this year that forced him to miss the Central Michigan game. But he has returned with gusto, and is averaging 16.5 points, 5.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds over the last five contests. He has had posted 20 points or more on four occasions, five assists or more seven times and at least five rebounds in 10 games this year.
It's hard not to be impressed when looking at the numbers that the 5-foot-10 Jordan put up last season. Jordan was second in the league in assists (5.5 per game) and 12th in the league with 12.8 points per game. His 5.5 assists per game were 39th in Division I.
Jordan broke the school record with 138 assists as a freshman, then bested his own mark with 159 as a sophomore. With 356 career assists, he is now second in school history and closing on Brian Evans' 493.
Freshman Rashawn Thomas was one of the most electrifying players for the Islanders over the summer. During the team's trip to Italy, he had a double-double in each of the team's four games and was expected to make an immediate impact from the season opener on.
But the fates turned another direction for Thomas. The Oklahoma City native fractured his jaw on Nov. 7, the day before the Islanders' first game of the year against Huston-Tillotson. He missed the first nine games of the season.
Any doubts about the 6-foot-7 forward being tentative were instantly alleviated. Thomas missed his first two shots, but converted his first career points at the 8:25 mark. By the time the dust had settled in the game, the freshman had 12 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. He became the first Islander freshman with a double-double in his debut since Corey Lamkin had 16 points and 15 rebounds against Sul Ross State on Nov. 16, 2001.
He has had some struggles with foul trouble, but he came out with a thunderous performance at Central Arkansas. He posted a career-high 18 points on 8-for-11 shooting and blocked four shots while snaring eight rebounds.
Thomas was a McDonald's All-America nominee and was named City Player of the Year his senior season at Southeast HS.
The Islanders were able to snap their eight-game losing streak with a strong performance on both ends of the court. A&M-Corpus Christi shot 50.9 percent from the floor - the fourth time this season that the Islanders have hit half their shots or better. At the same time, they held the run-and-gun Central Arkansas team to just 66 points on 39.0 percent shooting, including a 5-for-23 performance from beyond the arc. The Islanders also forced the Bears into 21 turnovers.
Turnovers on the offensive side are still a concern, though. The Islanders turned the ball over 19 times - five from Zane Knowles - the second highest total this season and the third time in the last five games that A&M-Corpus Christi has turned it over 18 times or more.
One area that has fallen off within the Islanders offense has been their three-point shooting. A&M-Corpus Christi, which was dismal in that area last year, was shooting 35.6 percent from distance through the first nine games - a respectable percentage.
But over the last five games, the bottom has dropped out. The Islanders are just 14-for-60 (23.3 percent) from beyond the arc in the last five. Brandon Pye (3-for-13) has been the leading shooter in that time frame. The Islanders have seen their opponents hit an average of 4.4 more threes (13.2 points) in that span. Inside the arc, the Islanders are ourscoring their opposition by 6.4 points in the last five.
In addition to the other newcomers, the Islanders have a welcome face back in the fold that was missing last season. Redshirt sophomore Jake Kocher, who sat out 2012-13 after double labrum surgery, was back in the starting lineup in the season opener.
His return to the court was a triumphant one, as Kocher poured in 10 points to go along with a career-high six rebounds and four steals against HTU. He went through a cold stretch, but rebounded against Texas-Pan American. Kocher was 3-for-4 from the field for seven points with three rebounds in 21 minutes. He was a key piece in the Islanders' comeback against Rice, scoring six points with two assists and two steals – giving him 10 swipes on the year. In the UTSA contest, he played a career-high 25 minutes, totaling 11 points, four rebounds and four steals.
After that game, though, he had hit a bit of a wall, scoring just eight points and totaling 65 minutes in the next six games. But the start of conference play saw Kocher bust out of his slump, going 4-for-7 from the floor for 14 points, nabbing eight rebounds and posting a career-high five steals. It marked the first five-steal game for the Islanders since Garland Judkins had five swipes against Central Arkansas in 2011.
In 2011-12, Kocher did most of his damage down the stretch, including a career-high 15 points in the season's penultimate game at UT Arlington. He averaged 4.6 points in 17.0 minutes over the season's final seven games. He is the city of Austin's all-time leading scorer from his days at St. Michael's Academy.
After being one of just five upperclassmen on the roster a year ago, Joy Williamson enters his second year as an Islander as one of just two seniors on the squad in 2013-14. The Oklahoma City native finished third on the Islanders in scoring a year ago, netting 8.3 points per game. He sat out the season opener, but returned to the floor at ISU with a mixed bag, scoring three points and pulling in four rebounds.
Though he was overshadowed by Jordan's stellar play, Williamson had an outstanding game against IPFW. The senior went 5-for-9 from the floor, scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds, four on the offensive end. He struggled to score the remainder of the weekend, but had a strong all-around game against Texas-Pan American, dishing out five assists and nabbing five rebounds. Still, his scoring had slackened, and he didn't even record an official shot against CMU.
Then, at Houston, he got off the schneid with a shot that was called for a goaltend, awarding him a bucket. Later in the first half, he knocked down a three pointer that banked off the glass and in. These two shots seemed to boost the senior's confidence, though, as he continued his strong play into the second half. He finished with a career-high 18 points on 5-of-6 shooting to go along with a 6-of-7 performance at the free-throw line.
He had another strong outing against Central Arkansas, going 5-for-8 from the field for 12 points, adding six rebounds and three assists.
The native of Oklahoma City played two years at Redlands Community College under current Islanders assistant coach Yaphett King.
Among all the impressive stats that the Islanders racked up in the win over Central Arkansas, perhaps none was more telling than the fact that the team piled up 50 points in the paint. Of the 26 field goals the Islanders registered inside the arc, 25 of those came in the paint - the lone exception a long two from Brandon Pye. The Islanders have had at least 20 points in the paint in each of the last 10 contests, but the previous season high had been 34 - against Cal State Northridge and Huston-Tillotson. The 5-foot-10 John Jordan leads the Islanders with an even 100 points in the paint on the year.

Feb. 26, 2009 -- Driving may be more dangerous in the South than any other place in the country, the CDC says.
In 2005, the latest year for which statistics are available, 45,520 deaths in the U.S. were related to motor vehicles, according to the CDC.
The Northeast had the lowest average annual rate of motor vehicle-related fatalities, 9.8 per 100,000 people in the period 1999 to 2005. The rate in the South was almost twice that, at 19.5.
Age, gender, and race also played a factor in motor vehicle-related fatalities, according to the Feb. 27 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The average annual death rate for young people was 26.8 per 100,000 for people between ages 15 and 24; that's 74% higher than the overall rate of 15.4.
The average annual death rate for men was more than double that for women, 21.7 vs. 9.4 per 100,000 people. The rate for American Indians/Alaska Natives was 27.2, nearly twice the 15.7 rate for whites and the 15.2 rate for blacks.
The CDC analysis says 46% of the motor vehicle-related deaths from 1999 to 2005 occurred in the South, where the average annual rate was 19.5 per 100,000 people, followed by 14.7 in the Midwest, 14.2 in the West, and 9.8 in the Northeast.
Here are the states with the highest average annual death rates per 100,000:
- Mississippi 31.9
- Wyoming 27.7
- Arkansas 25.6, Montana 25.6
- Alabama 25.1
- South Carolina 24.6
- South Dakota 24.2
- New Mexico 23.8
- Tennessee 22.8
- Louisiana 22.2
Here are the states with the lowest death rates per 100,000:
- Massachusetts 7.9 (best or safest)
- New York 8.4 (tie with Washington, D.C.)
- Rhode Island 8.5
- New Jersey 9.0
- Connecticut 9.3
- Hawaii 10.2
- New Hampshire 11.2
- California 12
- Washington (state) 12.1
- Illinois 12.3
The CDC says "vigorous measures" are needed to reduce the death rate to the national objective of 9.2 deaths per 100,000 in 2010.
The researchers say some of the variations are explained by the extent of populations to road environments.
Reasons for the disproportionately high rate in the South are unclear, the researchers say. But distances traveled in rural areas could be a factor, they say.
The CDC says states should evaluate methods to increase the use of seat belts and child-safety restraints and also work on ways to reduce alcohol consumption by drivers.

Arrest made in ADW on CMPD Officer
Homicide Unit Detectives signed warrants on Ivory Chappell, DOB: 05/23/1983, for ADW on a Law Enforcement Officer and Felony Hit and Run. Mr. Chappell struck CMPD Officer Chris Kunz with a Dodge Charger late on October 20, 2011, and then fled the scene. The CMPD Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) began tracking Mr. Chappell and quickly determined that he was in Georgia, east of Atlanta. VCAT contacted the FBI Task Force in Atlanta request their assistance. Mr. Chappell was arrested at 4940 Tadmore Lane, Lithonia GA, by the DeKalb County Police Department. The Georgia State Patrol assisted with the investigation as well. Mr. Chappell will be housed at the Dekalb County Sheriff's Office until he clears extradition.

Officer Kunz was released from CMC earlier this morning. He does not have any broken bones in his arms or legs, but may have broken ribs. He will see a doctor today to follow up on treatment for soreness and bruising to his chest area.
Officer Charles Adkins is the officer who fired the shots at Mr. Chappell as he fled the scene last night. He has been employed with the CMPD since January 22, 2007, and is currently assigned to the Westover Division as a patrol officer. He has been placed on Administrative Leave pending the outcome of the Internal Affairs investigation into the incident.

The ride begins at Harley Davidson of Charlotte, stopping at Frye's Gym, then on to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Academy and concluding at McKoy's restaurant, where the raffle will take place.
The ride will be led by CMPD Officer Barry Williams, who is honoring his son who passed away after a two year battle with brain cancer. Officer Williams sees this as an opportunity to give back and help others that are experiencing tough challenges. The Make-A-Wish Foundation focuses on the child and seeks to bring them joy. His goal is to help bring awareness to the needs out there and to show support for the organization by keeping it relevant and on the forefront of people's minds, especially in a time when giving in any capacity might be a struggle.

Big bucks! No, not the kind that grow antlers, but what many duck hunters spend to fund their sport: private clubs, fancy blinds, pricey shotguns, super-sized decoy spreads, and more. This is one undertaking that can suck up money like a bowling ball in quicksand.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Hunters can experience quality duck hunting while sticking to a budget. Penny-pinching hunters may have to hunt a little harder and smarter, but they can still find high-quality waterfowling.
So, if the recession has left a lasting impression, your credit card is maxed out, your kid's college tuition has skyrocketed, and you can't afford 24-carat duck hunting, don't despair. The quality of a hunt doesn't always rate proportionally to its cost. Here's how to cut corners to hold duck hunting expenses down and still enjoy great shooting.
For starters, forget the private clubs and leases. Owning or leasing a prime duck spot can cost a prince's ransom. However, there are plenty of options available to budget-minded hunters. All you have to do is find them.
First on the list are public areas: wildlife management areas, refuges, public reservoirs and natural lakes, free-flowing rivers and streams, military reservations, state and national forests, BLM lands, utility company lands and Ducks Unlimited projects.
Public areas? Aren't they always overcrowded and hyper-gunned? Some are, but others aren't. The best-known areas with the most ducks can be mob scenes. However, other areas that don't draw as many birds may still offer good shooting. This is where the "hunt a little harder" part comes in. Finding such spots takes some legwork, but they do exist and can be uncovered and enjoyed at little or no cost.
Another option is figuring out how to outhustle the competition on heavily pressured areas. This may mean going in earlier, walking in deeper, or staying out longer. For instance, when I was in my late teens and early 20s, a friend and I hunted a public wade-in area in west Tennessee where spots were available on a first-come, first-served basis. One hole in this flooded bottom drew ducks like a magnet. To claim it, my pal and I would wade in two hours before shooting time. We had some long, cold waits for sunrise, but we also took many limits of greenheads there. Other hunters weren't willing to get out so early, so we routinely claimed this prize.

Eagle County and the town of Gypsum are budgeting for a 2013 planning effort for Dotsero land use and utilities.
The anticipated cost of the extra planning is in the range of $100,000, which would be split between the county and Gypsum. Gypsum has more of a stake in Dotsero after its recent annexation of Dotsero Station at Sweetwater Ranch - property that contains a man-made water ski lake near the center of the area.
Meanwhile, the county planning department is currently wrapping up a six-year process of creating a formal Dotsero Area Community Plan. Senior Planner Cliff Simonton said that plan is about a month away from adoption.
"This is the first master plan for the area," Simonton told the commissioners during a recent meeting. "It doesn't say what has to happen but it will provide guidance for growth and development."
On Monday, Gypsum Town Manager Jeff Shroll and Town Planner Lana Gallegos met with county commissioners and staff to touch base on the collaborative plan. All agreed that Dotsero faces challenges in terms of land use and infrastructure.
Just getting a sewer system in place that can serve the whole area is among the first major challenges to overcome. More water rights will be needed and water quality is an issue. Some Dotsero residents rely on bottled water. Additionally, Dotsero's small, aging water treatment plant is not connected and far away from growing areas. Obstacles to that infrastructure include the Colorado River and an extensive layer of volcanic bedrock, which makes for tough digging.
Solving the infrastructure needs will likely help pull Dotsero's current piece-meal developments into a more cohesive one and hopefully set the ground work for a commercial core and a more viable community.
"We want to have Eagle County book-ended by nice things," Shroll said. "We want Dotsero to be every bit as special when you come out of the Glenwood Canyon as it is when you see East Vail from Vail Pass."
Simonton said he wants more input from Dotsero property owners but Eagle County Planning Commission meetings have been poorly attended by residents.
"There's still a big question mark on service and a big question on what you do with those properties out there that are so visible from Interstate 70 (a likely place for a commercial core) but they're sitting on top of basalt rock," Simonton said.
The county and Gypsum hope to answer some of those questions next year as they continue to collaborate.

Frozen yogurt may be a treat traditionally craved in warmer climates, but the Wilson family has brought it to Frisco, with the intention of making the store as warm and inviting as possible. The addition of hot drinks helps, too.Inside Cameez Frozen Yogurt and Coffee, there's a mock fireplace, lit with "marshmallows," plenty of seating - including leather couches and tables meant to be drawn on for a game of hangman - and a few flat-screen televisions, which some teenagers have already hooked their Playstations up to. The modern colors of the walls - gray, pink and bright green - were picked to make the space fun. "We wanted to make sure people feel warm eating cold ice cream," co-owner Tina Wilson said. "We wanted to create a place where people could have a conversation." "And we want people to stay," said her husband and co-owner, Scott Wilson. At Cameez, a play on the name of the couple's youngest daughter, Cammie, customers dispense their own frozen yogurt, picking from different flavors like peanut butter, banana and butterscotch. They can then add toppings, paying for the end result by the ounce. There's also a coffee station and espresso bar, which serves up Denver-roasted coffee and a homemade hot chocolate recipe that has been in Scott's family since the early 1900s.
Scott and Tina, 10-year residents of Summit County, decided to open the shop about six months ago, after visiting a frozen yogurt store elsewhere. They figured if they could make it a place where people could hang out - "a community thing," Tina Wilson said - then the idea could do well in Summit. The couple designed the space so customers rarely have to wait in line, something they both dislike. Yogurt and toppings are set up in stations, so folks can access whatever they want without waiting behind others. Drip coffee is separate from the espresso bar, and iPods are set up to take payment at customer tables, so there's no standing at a busy cash register. "One of the things we noticed was (other places) are designed to get you in and out," Scott Wilson said. "We're really more about people coming and staying." The actual product is also a little different than what most people expect, Scott Wilson said. While other places use ice cream infused with yogurt cultures, Cameez is water-based and sweetened with fructose, making it fat and cholesterol free, and low in calories and carbohydrates. But, he insists, it's still flavorful and creamy. "You could eat buckets of this stuff and not get fat," Scott said. The yogurt is gluten-free, and safe for lactose intolerants and most diabetics. In its first three weeks of business, the shop has already had quite a few customers with allergies thankful for the dessert.Customer Lena FitzSimons has celiac disease, and always has trouble with cross-contamination at other restaurants. She's fine at Cameez, and happy to see them in the community."For me, to be able to go out to a public facility and get something, you have no idea what it means," she said. "It's huge."
The couple, beyond having four children, own Colorado Backcountry Rentals and the Big Red Bus. Scott Wilson is also the chief chaplain at the Summit County Sheriff's Office. The rental business is mainly visitor-based, but the yogurt shop is "a way to still be part of the community," Tina Wilson said. In the future, the couple hopes to give a portion of the store's proceeds to education in the county. And that's why the store was designed as it is - fun, bright and modern, but warm. It's supposed to be a place where the community can get together and hang out, even after a movie (the shop is open until 10 p.m. seven days a week)."Most people think it's a chain when they see how well it's built out," Scott said. "We're not a franchise. We're just us."

Can we get the same crew for the challenge that preps the park for Cross Country meets. Dear Lord. Plush low cut grass (first time I've been able to find a disc in 13s fairway with ease all year), 1000 tons of mulch (you could take a nap on the path from 11 -> 12), trimmed up schule edges (perfect 90 degree angle with the ground). Best I've seen the course all year, too bad the park is about to close and the DG season is nearing an end.
IF you haven't been out there in the past week, you need to get out and see it. It is gorgeous. Shouldn't be any lines for the restroom either as there are 4 portapotties set up as well. I didn't check, but I bet they even got the pop machine working.

Thursday's letters: He will be missed
Published: Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 7:50 p.m.
To the editor: I was so sad to read in the paper about Stephen Blacks death. He was a superb writer who really found the soft spots in our town to poke, and he enjoyed doing so in most instances. I am sure, too, that there are fewer abused animals in the county because of Steves columns. At least I certainly hope so.
To his wife, Joyce, please accept my condolences for your loss. Just know I enjoyed your husbands columns every Saturday as well as his books. He will certainly be missed by a lot of us.
Sarah Wall
Mills River
Warm greeting
To the editor: As Stephen Black joins the population of that big sky country, I am sure Tony Slovacek greeted him by pointing at him and yelling Crazy Marine! to which Stephen could only answer Airborne! Airborne!
As they slap each other on the back and laugh like the galumphing bears they were, the civilians standing around will understand the depth of friendship that exists between servicemen, even if they were in different services and never served together.
Stephens tribute to Tony (Times-News, Nov. 10, 2012) said it all, and if Tony could have replied, he would have talked about Stephens honesty, his depth of feeling, his commitment to those he cared about, his belief in doing the right thing and in saying what needed to be said, straight up.
Stephen will be sorely missed here on Earth, but he is in the company of a friend who welcomes him home with open arms. Godspeed, Stephen.
BJ Slovacek
Animal rights
To the editor: This weeks 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.s March on Washington is being observed with marches, speeches and speculation on what causes Dr. King would embrace today.
He would certainly continue to work for racial equality. But he would also likely advocate a rapid withdrawal from Afghanistan, and advocate workers rights, gay rights and animal rights.
Yes, animal rights. Although he is best known for advocacy of racial equality, Dr. King opposed all violence, like the Vietnam war. And there is no greater violence than that perpetrated each day against billions of cows, pigs and other sentient animals in Americas factory farms and slaughterhouses.
The day before his assassination in 1968, Dr. King went to Memphis to champion the most oppressed human beings in America African-American sanitation workers. Today, it would also be about the most oppressed living beings in America animals raised for food, experiments and entertainment.
Although Dr. King never lived long enough to extend his circle of compassion, justice and nonviolence to nonhuman animals, his wife, Coretta Scott King, and his son Dexter Scott King did, by embracing the vegan lifestyle. A great way for us to honor the King legacy is to follow their lead.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A couple of city officials will soon have more cash in their pockets.
Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree and Solicitor General Kelly McIntyre are both getting raises.
"We asked coming into our job based on our job responsibilities that our salaries be reviewed," Roundtree said.
Commissioners voted 6 to 4 to increase their salaries. Former Sheriff Ronnie Strength actually signed off on the new sheriff's salary.
"Why do we have one of the largest sheriff departments in the state of Georgia and we got the sheriff being paid the lowest? It doesn't make sense to me," said Commissioner Grady Smith. "I think he's come up and met the standard, and even Sheriff Strength recommended his salary be $125,000."
News 12 found a form that outgoing Strength signed that has Roundtree's salary a listed at over $126,000.
"Several might not agree with me, but I called and talked to a few guys. They're currently working in law enforcement and former law enforcement," Smith said.
"When you look at the previous sheriff, when Charlie Webster departed, Sheriff Strength got his salary that he went out with," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
Documents show Webster left office making just over $92,000 and that's where Strength started from day one.
"The city charter allows that based on responsibility and it was within the budget," Roundtree said.
The salaries of state employees are determined by population and tenure, among other things. Commissioners will vote on anything higher than what the state allows.
"The clerk of court has come and asked for some additional supplements. We've got the probate judge who's asked for more. We know the mayor is paid the lowest in the state. This can be done by the state legislation rather than the commission," Mason said.
Roundtree will now make just over $126,000. The solicitor general will make just over $106,000.

Time to panic??
At home, playing a lone striker who is getting no service as we have lost the midfield link and AVB's answer is to swap one striker for another??
The crowd's reaction said it all, I have NEVER heard fans boo a substitution before en mass!
Everyone in the ground could see what a stupid, pointless sub it was except the man doing it.
Rednap had the tactical brain of a doormouse but even he looks like genius compared to AVB.

poor toast!
i saw that too. i spat out my toast. either he is joking or hudd just must eat so badly!
Evening fellow yids.
Think we're going around in circles here gang.
We all know that THUDD is slow and a tad overweight but would probably do a decent job in one of the other Prem teams and that Gilfi is not the polished article(yet)and to be honest i think that we bought him hoping he was going to be better than he actually looked at Swansea.
Equally the same can be said about AVB,maybe the Chavs had got it wrong in getting rid of him too early or did they actually spot a flaw in his managerial skills that are now becoming apparent at the LANE..
Well,one thing is for certain is,-
That he's definately good at interviews or why else would he have got his two starting roles to begin with.
Only time and if he's given the time will tell,(Bale springs to mind)
Had Ade come on and scored 2 and we won the game we wouldn't be having this chat,but one thing is becinig clearer by the mo,is that Dempsey,Gilfi and Thudd are not cutting the mustard .
Roll on January.

yes he does look unfit SB...or at least slow and immobile...did you see Dawson's interview on Saturday morning the other week, he was asked who was the hardest trainer at Spurs and he replied Hudd....maybe he was joking!
I'm not sure what people expected.
We had one of the most successful periods in recent years and now have a new manager. I think we would have been exceedingly lucky to have just continued as before but with improvement.
Also, it has to be borne in mind, that during the close season, we offloaded a few squad players to, what appeared to be, cut wage costs. That did not appear to be entirely AVB's doing.
Ade was also then late signing, and suffered injuries when he did eventually sign.
So now, we seem to be suffering from a combination effect:
New manager
New style
Reduced depth of squad
Three of those are hopefully just 'time' related - maybe even all 4 (if I misread the wage bill issue and we go back into the market to increase the squad) - so all you can do is hope that the problems aren't more deep set (ie that AVB isn't actually that good and that 1 good season in Portugal doesn't make him a good manager) and that the players will come back from injury and suite the style that AVB wants us to play.
Surely you have to give a player a season to settle - why not the manager?
Boo'ing the team, IMHO, is so counter productive as be worth boo'ing itself. How does demoralising a player/manager/team ever make them play better - http://tottenhamlive.com/blog/581-shout-above-the-noise.html ?
- 1 Reply to Jlock
It's not how the team were playing that I'm questioning though.
It's the tactics he deploys.
"We cant get the ball to our striker" - "I know!!!!" - "I'll change the striker"
If AVB makes changes and we as fans can see why he made them but the player doesn't do what we'd expect them to, then that's a player not performing, not AVB making a bad decision.
He is making bad decisions, ones no one else can understand is the problem. Not about a New style, Injuries or a Reduced depth of squad........

At the new David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat, two new yards feature several enriching features for both animal and visitor enjoyment and add more than 12,000 square feet to the pandas' outdoor exhibit. Additions to the indoor exhibit include a new room with a rocky outcrop and waterfall, another den, and more visitor viewing space and informational exhibits.
Many sustainable design strategies, such as planted green roofs to reduce stormwater runoff, were incorporated into the new habitat. Other elements include a solar hot water system; natural tree-resin bound paving material, instead of petroleum-based asphalt, on the visitor paths; recycled rubber; sustainably harvested ipe wood, which is naturally resistant to pests and rot; and dried bamboo, because it is rapidly renewable resource and does not deplete the environment when harvested. more Asia Trail green elements
Visitors can enjoy two levels from which to view the pandas, several areas where they may be just inches away from the bears, separated only by glass, and the new Clint Fields Conservation Plaza, where they can learn more about efforts to save pandas and their habitat through the stories of real people here and in China. At the Plaza's Decision Stations, people can get a sense of the complexity of conservation choices by watching videos about wildlife-people dilemmas and deciding which actions to take. Other features at the Plaza include a topographic map of the mountains of central China and exhibits about alternative economic activities to reduce habitat destruction. Portraits of villagers, scientists, park rangers, and others, with the real tools of their conservation work, will be highlighted. Multimedia displays of photos, video, and audio will give visitors a sense of place, introducing them to the sights and sounds of China's wilds.
As a result, while you are in the vicinity of the giant pandas, you may be recorded on video and/or audio recorders and your image and/or voice may be broadcast on the Internet. Panda Cam
Note: From April 1 through June 15, a very large number of school buses full of children arrive at the Zoo between 10 a.m. and noon. For a more enjoyable, quieter experience, we recommend that you visit early in the day, between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., or later in the afternoon, after 2 p.m. Tian Tian is generally more active at these times, too, and lines to see him are most likely to be non-existent or short. For tour bus groups, we offer special programs early and late in the day.
