Injuries keep rescue team busy
Rescue helicopter crews around the South Island were kept busy yesterday with multiple injured trampers, a man who fell off a ladder and a motorcycle crash.
Two tourists were injured about 2.30pm yesterday when the motorcycle they were riding collided with an oncoming car on State Highway 6 in the Upper Buller Gorge.
The driver suffered hand injuries, while the passenger sustained back and hip injuries.
The pair were flown to Nelson Hospital by the Nelson-Marlborough Rescue Helicopter, both in a stable condition.
On the West Coast, a 26-year-old Tauranga man had to be winched to safety by the Greymouth-based NZCC Rescue Helicopter after he fell and injured his leg near the Franz Josef Glacier.
The fall happened about 1pm on a steep section of the Alex Knob track, which runs from the floor of the glacier valley to the 1300-metre summit of the Alex Knob peak.
A companion walked out to raise the alarm and the injured man was rescued about 4.20pm.
The man was treated for a suspected broken leg and flown to Christchurch Hospital.
The Christchurch-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter was dispatched four times yesterday, including for a 73-year-old woman who suffered a medical event at Lake Lyndon, near Porters Pass.
The woman was flown to Christchurch Hospital in a critical condition.
The crew also treated a 13-year-old boy who sustained a moderate leg injury while tramping near Mt cheeseman, and a 72-year-old man who suffered a medical event while walking near Lake Coleridge.
A 68-year-old man was also flown to Christchurch Hospital yesterday after falling from a ladder near Rakaia.
The man sustained moderate injuries in the fall.

Heat Pumps Promote Energy Efficient Home Heating
Heating and Cooling Provided by Trained Heat Pump Specialists
When measuring energy efficiency and cost benefit, a heat pump can't be beat. Although primarily used for heating in the winter, heat pumps can also cool your home in the summer making it one of the most energy efficient heating and cooling systems available on the market. This alternative form of power, depending on the model, doesn't use ozone-depleting refrigerants, and has limited harmful emissions. Owning a heat pump can protect you from dangerous electrical waste, blackouts, and power surges.
What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an outdoor device that mechanically moves heat in and out of your house for optimized heating and cooling. Of the many variations of heat pumps, there are two primary types: Air-source heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps, also known as geothermal heat pumps. Heat pumps actively increase efficiency, and uniquely create warm and cool air flow, by transferring hot air inside during the winter and outside during the summer. A heat pump works with your natural environment to create a comfortable atmosphere that utilizes organic air flow.
Air-Source Heat Pumps
Air-Source heat pumps use outside air which, despite cold temperatures, still contains heat. Because of this, heat pumps provide low cost heating and cooling, with up to four times as much heat as electric heaters that use the same amount of energy.
Heating and cooling your home with an air-source heat pump provides multiple benefits including:
- Long lasting (20+ years)
- Low Maintenance
- For every unit of electricity consumed a heat pump produces 3 units of heat
- Energy-Efficiency Tax Credit
Ground-Source/Geothermal Heat Pumps
A ground-source heat pump, also called a geothermal heat pump, is a central heating and air conditioning system that uses underground earth temperatures as either heat or coolant. This geothermal heat pump exchanges heat with the ground and is extremely energy efficient as underground temperatures remain relatively stable over time. Much like a cave, underground temperatures are cool during the summer and warm during the winter providing optimum heat and air levels all year long.
There are many benefits to heating and cooling your home with a geothermal heat pump which include:
- Reduction of operational costs, lowers bills up to 70%
- A 30% government geothermal tax credit
- Recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy as the most environmentally friendly way to heat and cool a home
- Cuts carbon footprint up to 50%
- Does not emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, or other greenhouse gases
- Long lasting (15+ years)
- Can heat home's water
- Offers a 400% efficiency rating
Heat Pumps Repairs
Heat pump failures are often caused by thermostat malfunctions. Make sure you test your thermostat before looking into replacing the thermostat or moving onto other reason that your heat pump may have malfunctioned. Other issues that could contribute to a faulty heat pump include: damaged ductwork, condenser problems, or even something more serious. Call Iceberg's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning today if you think your heat pump may need repairs. Don't wait until you wake up to a cold house.
Heat Pumps Replacement
According to the US Department of Energy, the typical lifespan of a heat pump is between 10-15 years. If you keep up with routine maintenance, it's possible to get more life out of a unit but you should be making plans to replace your heat pump soon. The benefit of investing in a new heat pump is that a newer model with be more energy efficient and save you up to 20% on your future utility bills. If you think you may need to replace your heat pump, start by having it serviced by Iceberg's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning. Let us know that you're interested in getting an assessment of the remaining life in the unit.
Heat Pumps Maintenance
It's important to keep an eye on your heat pump's maintenance routine according to the manufacturer's manual. That's because reduced airflow decreases system performance and can damage your system's compressor. This can occur when you have dirty filters, coils, and fans reduce airflow through the heat pump system. If you're noticing issues with your heat pump, schedule a time for one of our experienced technicians to come out and service your heat pump and take care of any issues before they become larger problems.
Energy Efficient Heat Pumps
Whether you're purchasing a heat pump for a new home or considering an upgrade, you should take the time to explore energy efficient heat pumps. Heat pumps can be extremely energy efficient, because they do not manufacture the heat that they distribute. Heat pumps simply move the warm air throughout your home.
The right heat pump can easily save homeowners up to 30% on their monthly heating bills. You may compare these savings to those of a gas furnace. A high-efficiency heat pump can provide continuous comfort at any time of the year. By properly caring for a new heat pump, you can enjoy the savings and efficiency for years to come. Our technicians can work with you directly to ensure that your energy efficient heat pump functions properly.
Heat Pumps Installation
Homeowners who are concerned about minimizing environmental pollution should consider heat pumps. A heat pump is an environmentally-friendly option that will cut down on heating costs every month. Of course, all heat pumps need to be properly installed. Without a professional installation, a heat pump may not work as efficiently as possible.
We offer heat pump installation for residents looking to upgrade to a new heating system. Whether you're replacing an old model or simply want something new, our heat pump installation experts will ensure your home remains warm and comfortable. Our reputation for professional heat pump installations speaks for itself. We perform exceptional installation service each time we're called. We are committed to customer satisfaction, and consistently provide easy and affordable services.
Helping Heat Your Home
At Iceberg's One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning we pride ourselves on our extensive knowledge when it comes to heat pump installation and heat pump repair. We'll help you with the big details like which brand and type of heat pump to choose, as well as details you may not have thought of like what size heat pump to purchase, as well as a "dual fuel" option. "Dual Fuel" combines the technologies of heat pumps and natural gas furnaces to get the energy efficiency you want at a cheaper rate.
When you contact Iceberg's trained home heating Comfort Specialists at (734) 265-0922, we will discuss all the details you need to know about a heat pump for your home.
Where is the best location for my heat pump?
First of all, every house is different, so it will depend on your specific circumstances. For outdoor units, the primary consideration is clean airflow through the unit, impeded airflow can cause serious problems, so avoid putting your heat pump under decking, stairs, or in any area that restricts airflow.When placing a unit indoors, make sure to keep in mind the flow of indoor air so that heat will be evenly distributed.
Why does my heat pump stop heating every now and then when it's frosty
Believe it or not, your heat pump may be "defrosting" when this happens. It doesn't happen all that often, but it's a fact of life when you're trying to extract heat from cold, outdoor air. Sometimes the outdoor coil goes below the dew point, and frost results. If you're concerned about the length of time your heat pump is stopping, give us a call and we'll be happy to come out and make sure things are functioning properly.
What kind of maintenance does a ductless heat pump require?
Ductless systems require basic maintenance to make sure they operate at peak performance throughout their lifespan. Periodic professional servicing of your ductless heat pump is recommended in order to make sure any issues that arise are taken care of as quickly and efficiently as possible. You can be proactive by making sure that filters are changes when needed and that coils are kept clean.
What size heat pump will I need for my home?
Ductless heat pump systems are sized to meet the heating and cooling needs of the individual zones in your home. For example, one indoor unit can provide between ¾ - 2 ½ tons of heating/cooling depending on its BTU capacity rating. The most common capacities for indoor units are 9k, 12k, 18k, 24k, and 30k BTU. Outdoor units are sized to meet the the needs of both heating/cooling zones in your home. More than one outdoor unit may be necessary for multi-zone systems. Ducted heat pumps are designed to meet the needs of heating your whole home. The ducts are sized to ensure efficient heat distribution throughout. Give us a call and we will measure the BTU capacity of your home and help you choose accordingly.

Las Vegas • You could detect the hint of a smile on the face of Dennis Lindsey. No, Utah's general manager wasn't grinning profusely. But you could tell he was pleased by the Jazz summer league edition and some of the results this week.
Utah went 3-2 in Las Vegas, winning its last game on Friday night over Portland. The record is almost secondary to the progress made as the week continued. Rudy Gobert proved that he is indeed ready for rotation minutes, turning in a performance that was dominating at times.
Rodney Hood proved he was more than a shooter, displaying an all-around offensive package that culminated in a 29-point performance against Milwaukee on Monday night. Trey Burke played the role of true point guard. Malcolm Thomas looked every bit capable of playing in the NBA, and Dante Exum flashed his vast potential amid moments of inconsistency.

Football Gets Political Ahead Of General Election
Fri 17th Apr 2015 | Football Governance
English football is facing state intervention and enforced growth in fan ownership under proposals from the political parties looking for your vote in this UK General Election, writes Marc Webber.
As every cross on the ballot counts in what will be the tightest election in UK history, all the parties are pulling together policies which may not please Premier League chairmen, but are aimed at winning over football fans and those involved in the grassroots game.
"The football authorities have not heeded the warnings that they needed to reform," says Lib Dem Sports Spokesman, John Leech. "The Liberal Democrats support legislation to give fans a veto over the decisions that affect the "heritage" of their clubs like the name of the team, or the kit colour, or where they play. We would also strengthen the fit and proper test for owners and ensure a proportion of tickets are at an affordable rate."
Labour's Clive Efford claims they will give more power to supporters if they get into government. "We will give fans a voice on the board of every professional club and the right to buy shares up to a cap of 10% when the club changes hands. The proposals that were drawn up between The FA, Premier League and Football League did not address the deficit that exists in grass roots involvement and cemented the power of the professional game at the expense of the rest.
"We want to see The FA restructure itself so that it becomes more representative of all parts of the football family."
The Conservatives will point to their track record so far in sport as being positive, and pledge more of the same.
"Despite the tough economic circumstances in the last government, we ensured more money was released for grassroots football through Lottery funding. We have consistently worked with the Premier League to get more support for grassroots sport.
"And this is no more evident than in our pledge to build 150 sports hubs throughout England and deliver more 3G pitches. We are doing this in partnership with the Football Association and the Premier League," said current Sports Minister, Helen Grant.
Interest in football policy has gathered pace since the last election, when the sports spokesmen from the Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Labour crammed into a Five Live studio to say what they would do for football if elected. They also answered some questions from us and you can see whether they achieved that in the article on page 17.
This time around, the pool of interested parties is wider, with the Greens claiming they have the solution to make football work at all levels. And whilst they share the same level of concern over the current state of grassroots football, they have a suggestion on tax reform which could help.
"At local level we would like to see more done to make business rate relief for amateur and community clubs more uniform across the country and not at the gift of local councils," says Green Party sports spokesman and former Northampton Town FC chairman, Tony Clarke.
"Within the music industry we have investigated the introduction of what has been nicknamed a 'Beyonce Tax' whereby any music artist playing in a locality will pay a small additional tax sum on concert income to be ring fenced for local arts projects and perhaps the same could be investigated within football. The Green Party believes that tax is a progressive form of funding for local provision and so introducing tax breaks simply reduces overall income for expenditure on facility."
There is clear water though when it comes to the issue of safe standing. The Conservatives support the return to standing in the stands. The Welsh Conservatives recently did research saying 96% of fans support safe standing at all levels of football and that the policy is "a no brainer" to implement.
"The Liberal Democrats have a manifesto commitment to allow clubs to introduce safe standing areas. 90% of fans support having the choice at games...and it would improve the atmosphere at games, help reduce prices and improve safety for fans standing up," says Leech.
The Greens agree. "We would seek to support safe standing at grounds and fixtures where such areas are proven to be safe for spectators and where the police are satisfied that no crowd control issues would arise. Any restriction by government on grounds being all-seater would be a historic reaction to the horrors of the past and we believe that governments have a duty to instead work towards a safer future for all football supporters that enables cheaper access to the game without compromising safety."
And it is one of those 'historic' reasons Tony Clarke cites, that means Labour are against safe standing.
Clive Efford says, "We have no plans to review the policy around all-seater stadiums at this stage. With the Hillsborough families only now getting justice you can understand their opposition, and we are very respectful of that view. The first priority for clubs should be to improve access and areas for people with disabilities."
We asked all the sports spokesmen from these parties five questions on issues that affect football business today, ranging from whether small clubs should get tax breaks to whether they thought Sam Allardyce was right to say it is government's responsibility to develop grassroots sport.
You can see the full responses from the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats and Greens HERE (We asked UKIP to answer the same questions and they did not respond in time for publication.)
Sport is a devolved responsibility, so management of football from a government perspective falls under the Welsh Assembly, Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly in those areas.

DARKTHRONE / Under a Funeral Moon (1993)
I've known people who attempted to 'correct' the abysmal lo-fi production by tinkering with the bass equalizer on their amp. They only succeeded in burying the coldness under a monotonous booming drone. It's supposed to sound like it does, so accept it. Strangely, the drop in production made the recording sound less hurried, and enabled the individual parts to be more easily picked out.

Jack up barge or self-elevating unit availability is increasingly becoming a priority in offshore asset management. Since their first appearance, they have demonstrated they can be designed and built to fulfil an increasing number of functions and the ability to re-locate means they are a must when planning offshore projects. They can be found looking for new oil and gas reserves under the sea as mobile offshore drilling platforms. They are also used to install and service offshore wind turbines, service offshore oil and gas platforms, salvage and dismantle large ship wrecks and provide offshore accommodation.
Jack up barges are essentially very modified ships consisting of a floating hull or platform and legs that can reach down to the ocean floor for it to stand on. When the barge reaches its destination, the legs are lowered into the sea floor to anchor it and the hull or platform is raised, 'jacked up',' above the waves. As demand for these barges continues to increase, their efficient deployment and usage is becoming more important in bringing marine projects to fruition on time and on budget. In the 1950's, civil construction companies started to use these vessels to build piers, jetties and carry out harbour works. With the rise of the petrochemical industry in the 1960's, they were adopted and developed both for offshore drilling operations and for servicing more permanent offshore oil and gas installations. In 2013, there were about 540 mobile drilling barges in operation around the world. The advent of the 'green energy revolution' has produced even more variants, with barges being used to both install and service offshore wind turbines. With the increasing number of jack up barge operations that can be successfully completed in a number of different industries, it is important that barge owners use specialist management companies that operate in the same sector as the barge is designed to work in. In this way owners can maximise their market access, commercialisation and operation of their barges. This can in turn increase the return on their investment and give them a competitive advantage.
When you are performing projects offshore, you need to accommodate your operatives. If the project equipment is relocatable then it makes sense to also have relocatable accommodation for the operatives who are actually doing the work. This is why accommodation barges were developed and deployed. An accommodation barge is simply a jack up barge that has living quarters installed on the platform of the barge. Early accommodation units often left something to be desired, gaining a poor reputation among operatives. The industry recognised this and the change to modular systems for equipping barges has led to much improved accommodation and other facilities for workers. A modern jack up accommodation barge provides high quality living quarters as well as a range of other services. Typically cabins to accommodate from one to four people are available as well as modules to store essentials such as fuel, drinking water and waste water. Technical modules often include generators, water makers and even sewage plants. While other modules house laboratories, offices, galleys, canteens, the control room, laundry and changing rooms. Given that you are working offshore, open deck areas, coffee shops and even helipads might be included. With this level of investment, it is not surprising that owners need their barges to be deployed and working as much as possible so that they can maximise the return on their investment. This is where the expertise of Attollo Offshore Ltd. comes into its own, working in the oil and gas industry to link charterers and asset owners.
At Attollo Offshore Ltd, we specialise in offshore asset management for late oil field life operations, rig-less well intervention, and other projects in the offshore oil industry. We work hard to commercialise assets and bring them to market maximising the return on your jack up barge, accommodation unit and other offshore assets. We work with charterers and asset owners to seek new opportunities for advancing rig-less operations and make real and long lasting impacts on the economic viability of mature offshore oil basins. You can view our services at http://www.attollo-offshore.com/, or call us on +44 1224 959810.

TEDx Naperville 2012
[I've] been watching TED videos for a few years now. Finally get to participate and enjoy the thoughtful presentations in person. The sharing of ideas is a powerful thing and I take every chance I can get to do it.
- TEDxNaperville 2012 Attendee
TEDxNaperville 2012 was conducted at the Grounds for Hope Cafe where 18 of the brightest individuals from around the area came to share their ideas worth spreading through TEDTalks, musical performances, and visual experiences. This year, the event focused on pushing interactivity and networking. TEDxNaperville Adventures were implemented this year to give attendees an entirely new, holistic TED experience – think of field trips for adults, including special tours of Fermilab, Argonne National Laboratory, Naperville's Century Walk, and a "how-to" on book publishing from Naperville's Sourcebooks. Speakers this year included internationally acclaimed musical duo Ian & Ani, Fermilab theoretical astrophysicist Dan Hooper, and Olympic silver medalist John Coyle.

Oh the joy of having large machinery at your beck and call. Shane brought round a 13 tonne excavator, which is actually way more power than we needed, but it's what he could get and it certainly did the job. Suddenly I was the Pharaoh with a team of slaves at my command…."Move that rock over there… not there, further this way… good. Now remodel the drive to come through here…. wider at this end… garden bed here….enormous log here…" and so on.
So from this:
to this:
and from this:
to this:
There is clear access to the front doors now and much more light in the entry area.
Then we had to mulch:
I was very pleased to get some large rocks. They really add a sense of stability to a garden and I plan to plant around them with some soft pluming fountain grass which should make a beautiful contrast. These are Castlemaine rocks and their ochre colours are very sympathetic to the mud brick walls of the house.
So there you have it; a bit of a moonscape as all new gardens are. I was absolutely stuffed after all that strenuous giving of orders and now I am looking forward to planting the new beds out and watching my plans (or something like them) come to fruition. And that is the joy of gardening isn't it?
And in very important news, the new Doctor Who made his appearance on Sunday night. How I wanted to dislike him for replacing the gorgeous David Tennant, but I couldn't. The new guy was actually annoyingly good in the role. But not gorgeous. Which is good. I'm too old to go through all that emotion again.
But there is another David who has been occupying my mind lately:
or my ears, more accurately. This album is a real treat for any alt-country fans out there. Even the 15 year old, who thinks all my music is pretty lame, was impressed by one of the songs on the album, because it happens to be about a monkey driving a locomotive. As Max observed, you just can't get enough of that sort of thing.
Dave Rawlings is, of course, the partner of the incredible Gillian Welch. What a talented and creative pairing. Leo was blown away when I told him that they were partners; he asked if I thought that they might consider adopting him as their alt-country love child.
I said no.

Congress leader Tom Vadakkan today slammed the ink attack allegedly carried out by Shiv Sena on Sudheendra Kulkarni – the event organiser for Pakistan's former foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book launch, and blamed Sena for thriving on "anti-India activities". "They done a black deed not on Pakistan or its author, they have done a black deed on India's pluralistic culture," he said. He even said that such intolerant activities were raising questions on India's culture and our freedom of expression.

The unquestionable star of the undercard is Moonshine Mullin, an astounding $40,000 claim by trainer Randy Morse who will run in the $200,000 West Virginia Governor's. Moonshine Mullin has won five races in a row, including the Grade 1 Stephen Foster and Grade 2 Alysheba. He earned a fees-paid berth into the Breeders' Cup Classic in the Foster, which is a BC Challenge Series race.
"Hard to find horses like him. Doesn't matter what you pay for them," Morse, 52, said.

Morse claimed Moonshine Mullin, a 6-year-old horse, at Remington Park last December. He has since earned $644,000.
"He was always cut out to be a good horse. He won a stakes when he was young, and he was second in the Jim Dandy," Morse said. "He was always meant to be a better horse than when I got him."
Morse considered sending Moonshine Mullin to Saratoga for this weekend's Grade 1 Whitney but ultimately decided to lower his sights for the time being.
"I was gonna go to Saratoga, but I got to thinking it would be smart to avoid the heavy heads," he said. "If we're going to take them on, the time should be in the Breeders' Cup. I've kind of backed off him and freshened him up. He's not as fit as he could be. I want to have him fresh for this fall."
Moonshine Mullin is owned by Randy Patterson, a cattle buyer from Anthony, Kan.
"That this horse is his makes it even better for me," Morse said. "He's such a great guy, and it always seems those are the people it's hardest to do good for."

DIY Distasters
At Hyper Island we have this cool thing called X Program. Basically it's mixing a lot of people from different programs at school, dividing them into small teams and making them solve a real brief in 72 hours. A real brief.
So our task was to encourage people to go to hairdressing saloons more often and to bring back the going-to-hairdresser culture. Client? Can't say quite yet but it's a producer of quality hair-dressing products. They actually made us sign stuff saying that we will not snitch. Let's call them "The Client". Budget? Below 2 billion USD. Fun!
As usually we do things at Hyper, we jumped into research. From the very start we decided that instead of launching a global campaign, we will focus on Scandinavian market. We knew it better and also it would allow us to prepare a better targeted product. So we researched our client, target groups, hair-dressing culture and its trends. We created customer journeys, analysing every step carefully, looking for opportunities. And we found one!
So basically we found out that there is sooooo many wanna-be beauty bloggers who show how to treat your hair correctly. And some of them fail while doing it. That's when they become famous. This Do-It-Yourself culture creates a very interesting opportunity for our client, who produces a wide range of professional beauty products, that should be used by people with adequate training.
Another finding was that the wast majority of Scandinavians don't go that often to hair-saloons because of high prices. They rather ask a friend or a friend of a friend to do their hair at home waaay cheaper. It sounds risky but might be worth saving some cash.
We came up with an idea how to combine those two findings into a social media campaign, that has a potential to go viral! We would start with educating people on social media channels why is it important to let professionals treat your hair rather than doing it by watching YouTube videos. Awareness is gold! Second step is to encourage people to upload their Do-It-Yourself disasters in form of a video on social media channels - Facebook or Instagram, telling their stories and showing the results. Videos should be accompanied with a proper hashtag, linking the campaign to The Client. #DIYdisasters. People who uploaded those videos should be contacted by The Client, preferably publicly on social media, promising that they would take care of that disaster. Brave people who uploaded their fuck-ups would be given a voucher to closest hair-dressing saloon that has collaboration with our client. Professional hair-dressers would take care of them, trying to minimise the effects of DIY disaster and educating on importance of doing this kind of thing at a proper place. Saloons should be also actively engaged in this campaign, posting results of their fix-ups.
After researching many beauty websites on multiple social media platforms, we believe that this campaign has potential to go viral. It would create the buzz that our client needs, and alsoeducate people on importance of professional hair-care.
So that was plan A. And we wouldn't be Hypers if we didn't have a plan B. It's less complicated but equally thought through.
We estimated the The Clients campaign budget would be able to finance buying the bankrupt automotive company SAAB. Why not invest those money and together with Swedish engineers create a robot that is capable of cutting you hair! A product that everybody would be able to afford and have at home. We believe that SAABs technology is just one step away from it and just needs a little cash boost. Hopefully our client will think about it!
We made cool videos about those concepts but we also signed some papers saying that we cannot show them until mid 2017... soooo soon they'll be here!

School busting at seams
Thu., Nov. 26, 2009
Cheney bond would fund new facilities
Cheney Middle School's student population has outgrown its building.
Lunches are divided into three groups to get all the students fed. The cafeteria officially holds 250 people, but the seventh-grade class alone has about 345 students.
Mike Stark, co-principal, said school officials need to check attendance records every day to make sure they aren't overcrowding the room, and often, some of the students must eat in the hall or gym.
The school staggers class release times to prevent bottlenecks in the hallways.
The school, which opened in 1977, is not only crowded – it's not aging gracefully, Stark said. Many classrooms have portable walls, which is helpful when adjacent classes are working together, but they aren't soundproof.
"You can hear what's going on in adjacent classrooms," he said.
The building was not built with the latest technology in mind. Wires for the Internet and security cameras run underneath water pipes on the ceiling, which is now leaking.
These are just a few of the reasons the school board unanimously voted last week to put a $79 million bond on the ballot next February.
"The building has served us and served us well for 30 years," Stark said.
Voters will be asked to approve a tax rate of $4.96 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Superintendent Larry Keller said this shouldn't affect taxpayers much, since two previous measures will sunset in 2010.
If approved, the bond will build a new middle school at the current site, a second middle school in the Windsor area, and a new elementary school in the east part of the district, and will help pay for part of the design to renovate the high school.
Keller said there are four main points he wants to make with voters.
First, there is "no room at the inn." There are many portables being used throughout the growing district, but he said portables cost around $150,000 and that doesn't include the infrastructure needed, such as power, water or sewer lines.
Second, construction and material costs are low right now, which will mean a savings for the district. Third, the construction projects will create jobs in the area for the next few years.
Fourth, the tax rate will not increase with the bond.
Each new middle school should cost around $37.8 million. The elementary school would cost around $18 million, but the district will receive approximately that amount in matching funds from the state.
Keller said that if the district chose to renovate the existing middle school it would cost around $35 million and the district would still need a second middle school and a new elementary school. Taxpayers would still need to approve a $72.8 million bond for those projects.
If the district did nothing to the existing middle school, it would need to ask district patrons for funds for the new middle school and elementary school and it would not receive any matching funds from the state. That bond would be around $55.8 million.
Stark and Keller said the projects would not be monuments to architecture, but would be built conservatively, always keeping in mind how to better instruct the students.
Stark said voters in the Cheney district have always been supportive of the schools. He said he has heard back from many people around town that they will support the bond.
As a resident in the district himself, he is appreciative his taxes won't go up.
"It appeals to me as a taxpayer," he said.

We are into the second week of the Time for School Capsule and I've made some (some!) progress on everything. I've increased the number of things I want to sew, like the insane person I am. But I've also started to get things together.
Yay me!
I haven't really made any sewing progress but I have made some cutting progress. And that's something! My plan of attack is to start on the bottom and work my way up. We wear pretty basic pants in this household. I'm not into colored or patterned pants. I feel like they look like pajamas too much. So not the look I'm going for.
Lucky me, I have a GIANT bag of clothes that I was *supposed to* take to St. Vincent dePaul's Thrift Shop a loooooong time ago. And in that giant bag were a ton of pairs of pants. Things we don't fit into anymore (why I've kept my fat pants around for this long, I don't know) or have rips/stains on them. But they're perfect for upcycling into new pants for Louis.
Denim is hard for me to come by. And it's seemingly expensive. So this is a perfect way for me to get some new jeans for the kiddo without spending a dime. Yay lazy Katy! Good job for not doing something you were supposed to!
I'm trying to keep track of my progress both on my blog and on Instagram. I might dread certain parts of this process but I'm so glad that I signed up for this wild ride!

1969 Dodge Polara 440
|When old cops get together and talk squad cars, the 1969 Dodge Polara 440 is the one that gets reverence. The full-size 1969 Dodge Polara police special was relatively lightweight thanks to its unibody construction and overpowered due to the 375-horsepower, 440-cubic-inch V8 lurking under its hood.
Channeling that power through a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission the 1969 Polara made 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and blitzed through the quarter-mile in 14.4 seconds at 98 mph. Top speed was an unheard of 147 mph. Even by 21st century standards, that's not shabby, at all.
|The 1969 Dodge Polara has been considered the pinnacle of police-car performance: with the 440 under the hood, heavy-duty suspension, and monster brakes, it was more muscle car than most muscle cars in the day.

Millionaire rogue landlord's £200,000 Ferrari crushed
|Zahid Khan's white Ferrari 458 Spider hit the headlines earlier this year when Khan illegally parked it on the pavement outside a court. He was appearing there to appeal against his rogue landlord conviction. Khan, 30, a trainee pilot, insisted he had bought the car at an auction before he pimped it up with parts he ordered from Ferrari.
West Midlands Police said the vehicle was crushed for invalid insurance and because it was unroadworthy.
|Khan was convicted of forcing tenants out of his luxury Birmingham home. He was ordered to carry out 150 hours of community service. He returned to Birmingham Crown Court to appeal his conviction – parking his car on the pavement outside in an act of defiance. The court ordered Khan to pay £2,000.
The businessman provided a £1million supercar fleet for Floyd Mayweather during his UK tour - and now plans to become his personal pilot in America.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette Mako Shark Concept
|The XP-755 concept car, also known as the Mako Shark, was designed by Larry Shinoda in 1961, as a concept for future Chevrolet Corvette production cars. The streamlining, pointed snout, and other detailing was partly inspired by the sleek, fast-moving shortfin mako shark.
Mitchell had a mako shark mounted on the wall in his office, and ordered the paint to match the distinctive blue-gray upper surface gently blending into white underside of the fish. After numerous failed attempts, the team kidnapped the fish one night, painting it to match their efforts on the car, and returning it to the office. Mitchell never realized the difference.
