Windy Larsen hosted Sandra Huntington's three pre-school classes recently at her petting zoo in Orangeville. Each class stayed about 30 minutes as each class was leaving a new class arrived to take their place. The weather was blustery and cold with occasional snow flakes falling. The first group of pre-school children arrived at 9 a.m. to tour the petting zoo. They started in the grooming shop where they saw and handled a bird called a Rainbow Lorikeet.
They saw a mother sheep named Shadow and her baby lamb. They then went outside to a mother goat Patricia and her kid, where a goat milking demonstration was made. Some had the experience of milking a goat. A few children were squirted with goat's milk.
Later they visited Bonnie the Emu. Where Windy explained about the female Emu who made a thrumming noise and liked to pick on fingers poked through the fence. The female Emu lays the eggs and then the male Emu sits on the eggs until the eggs hatch.
Next they went to see the new baby colt. The mother horse was not sure she wanted people petting her baby called Little Joe.
The small furry donkey called Suburban ( because he arrived in a suburban auto) was a favorite to pet.
Several children chose to accept the offer to have a ride on the llama called Padmay with Don Anderson leading. Kenneth Larsen took other children for rides in a two wheeled cart pulled by a mini-pony named Starla.
"The children always enjoy visiting Windy Larsen's Petting Zoo," said Sandra Huntington.

The Utah Department of Transportation gave a presentation to the Castle Dale City Council at a recent meeting. Their representatives, Mike Kaczorowski, Monte Aldridge and Steve Ogden, met with the council and the members of the community who were present.
Kaczorowski explained the Transportation 2030 plan. "It is a process of soliciting comments for the 30 year plan. Think 20 or 30 years ago and imagine the progress and envision what could be 20 or 30 years from now. That's what we need to have," he said.
This long range planning will be done every three years in the state and depends on public involvement. The goal of this planning is for the public to be able to move around Utah's 6,000 miles of highway in a safe and efficient manner.
Kaczorowski explained that it takes eight years for an idea about the roadways to go from the idea stage to the construction stage. The time elements involved with funding, paperwork, permits, environmental studies and actual construction mount up quickly.
Transportation 2030 involves four main criteria; safety, bridges, pavement and congestion, in that order. For the safety aspect, studies are done to determine the hazardous corridors in the state. These corridors are then identified as top priority. As far as bridges, the state has determined that preservation lowers the long term cost, so proper maintenance is crucial.
Pavement conditions are next. Good roads simply cost less. Congestion is problematic in the highly populated areas of the state where the capacity needs are greater than the available money. Although, the state does recognize that in rural areas, some congested areas are creating hazards.
Projects are moved from the long range plan to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP.) Once a project is in STIP, it usually gets completed. Drastic unforeseen increases in cost, reduction of funding and environmental findings are among the things that can stop a STIP project.
Kaczorowski stressed "because Transportation 2030 will spend several billion dollars, UDOT needs to hear from everyone. Please give us your comments." He handed out comment cards and information sheets.
When the comment period was opened to the public, some of the comments were: rutting in the pavement caused by coal trucks; number of coal trucks on city streets competing with smaller passenger cars; safety of the pedestrians; and one person mentioned that Emery County is in the top five counties for the number of fatalities of drivers under the age of 19.
Some of the suggestions were to build alternate truck routes around the cities so the smaller cars would not have to compete with the trucks, increased traffic enforcement for speeders and possibly railroad lines to eliminate the trucks from the roads.
Traffic counts and road usage statistics are done in every corridor in the state every two years. This helps the state identify and address problematic increases. Also, there are several permanent count locations set up around the state which count the numbers of road users on a continual basis.
As far as Highway 6 is concerned, $80 million has been set aside to continue the upgrades to the road from Spanish Fork to Green River. Although, it is estimated that this project needs $400 million to complete, this is considered a healthy start on improvements.
For more information or to make comments call Joni DeMille at 801-965-4129 or log onto the website at www.udot.utah.gov/progdev/trans2030. Comments may also be mailed to Utah Department of Transportation, Transportation 2030, Box 143600, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-3600.

just what I wanted and needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
after every orthopedic woe I have, I get armor to prevent it happening again. After squishing my left ankle on Wasatch Crest, I got these. Prior to that, I was using some old soccer shin guards (which were surprisingly good). These are better. They are unobtrusive, look pretty much like socks, and don't get in the way of anything at all. My only gripe: the plastic disks are fairly small, so they don't necessarily sit over your malleoli. as such , you need to take some care when putting them on but it's pretty darn easy to get it right...
good but not in the way advertised
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you want to protect the balls of your ankle buy them , but if you expect anything else you should read below.
When I bought these I had in mind that they would stabilize my foot . In other words a foot brace like the Mcdavids ones . They're not that, not in any way. This will only protect the knobs on the sides of your foot- period. The description above states they're vpd and it stiffens upon impact. That couldn't be further from the truth. In fact I'll say it's a lie. There's a round hardpad for the ball of your ankle . The rest of it serves as a glorified ankle warmer . I will concede that the material is thick and that will soften some falls but it's not vpd . I had the vpd bone leg guard and I know how it feels. The material in this beefy"sock" stays soft when flexed and remains soft when I bang it on the wall. Also the picture above is wrong there's no big radioactive signs and it doesn't prominently display POC. I only still have it because before buying it I never realized how exposed the balls of my feet are and this product does protect that one part perfectly. I'm going to hold onto it because I never notice they're on, they are comfortable, they have some scratch protection, and I've had them long enough that I no longer feel like I can return them. Final belabored word- if you don't really think you need it then don't get it.
with socks
Good ankle protection
You have to wear them in top of your socks. I measured them and they are 6'' no counting the elastic straps.
how high up do these come? I'm not so much...
how high up do these come? I'm not so much looking for a guard or knee/shin guard but something to stop from cut grass and everything tearing up my shins and calves and making me itch for the next couple days.
I measured them and they are 6'' no counting the elastic straps.
Nice protection, great fit
Combination of hard shell cups and some nice padding give good protection, would be better if padding went 360 degrees around the ankle...as they are the front of the guard is not padded at all. Barely can notice them while on. Will recommend to anyone.
The best thing to happen since tall whips.
This will save the balls on your ankles, I have tried other brands and found that POC make the best by far. Others are hard plastic that just send the impacted into your ankle, they don't help that much on protecting. POC's absorb the impacted and stay in place. They are a little tight at first but wear in pretty fast. The only down side is that I wear ankle wraps and they don't fit well together, I wish that POC would make a ankle wrap joint guard combo. I just put them both on and throw down. If you plan on leaning any no footed trick then you will need these, don't waste your time with any other brand get the best.
Body Armor for Your Ankles
Nice, simple, unobtrusive and effective protection against gouging your ankles.

By PATSY STODDARDeditor
The Emery County Public Lands council met for their August meeting. Chairman Ed Geary greeted the audience. He said for the July meeting the group went on a field trip and looked at the ongoing recovery work from the Seeley fire in June 2012. Some of the council members met with Alan Matheson from the governors office to talk about the Public Lands Bill. The governor is supportive of Cong. Bishop's public lands initiative and wants to become more informed on the issue. So he has assigned Matheson to work with Cong. Bishop and the counties involved on this lands bill.
The lands council is pleased to have the governor on board.
Public lands is still in the news with a letter by 14 Eastern Senators being sent to Pres. Obama to ask him to designate the Greater Canyonlands National Monument.
Ray Petersen, Emery County public lands director, Ethan Migliori, commissioner and Randy Johnson, public lands consultant recently visited Washington DC. While there they visited with the Utah delegation and also the BLM director. They reported those in Washington DC at the higher levels do not what's going on at the local levels.
Commissioner James Nelson reported on a field trip that Cong. Jason Chaffetz arranged for Maryland Cong. Elijah Cummings to visit his congressional district. He was taken on tours of the area to see what's out here to gain greater understanding of what those in rural areas are dealing with.
Chris Wood from the Division of Wildlife Resources said they have removed deer and bear in the Green River area which have been detrimental to farmers in the area. The DWR is going to look at policy changes to allow these nuisance animals to be taken care of by the landowner.
The DWR has been conducting elk surveys and recently had a bat night where they viewed bats and educated the public on bats. The DWR has also been removing the blue headed sucker from out of Ferron Creek and relocating them to the lower San Rafael River.
Darren Olsen from the US Forest Service said they have been dealing with a few lightning strikes, weed spraying and trail work. The Groben burn won't take place this year. There is a power line that needs to be protected there. They will see what needs to be done so that line can be protected when burning does take place there in the future.
Olsen said lightning strikes are typical this time of year.
Mistie Christiansen, public lands council asked Olsen if there have been any conflicts with sheep and ATV users. She said ATV users need to know they can't chase sheep on their ATVs. Olsen said there are conflicts sometimes with campers chasing the sheep out of their campsites, but the sheep have a permit to be there and they must be left alone. Sometimes dogs that the campers bring chase the sheep and this too is a problem.
Mark H. Williams, public lands council, said they are working with the forest service on the old cattle trail above the former Desbee Dove mine. This trail will be widened to accommodate hand carts, hikers, ATV and cattle users. Olsen said they have been looking at that trail and will need to take comments on it.
The Pole Canyon trail in Huntington Canyon is still closed due to damage from flooding.
Commissioner Nelson said At your Leisure filmed a segment at the Millsite night Golf event and he also took them scorpion hunting.
The lower debris basin is close to receiving approval by the Army Corp. of Engineers. The upper debris basin also needs some modifications in making it more accessible for cleaning of debris during and after an event.
Ed Cox from Sen. Hatch's office said the Senator is working to educate those senators that signed the letter to Pres. Obama urging the designation of a national monument in Utah. He wants them to know Cong. Bishop has an ongoing process to manage the public lands without removing their use from the people. The designation of a monument would destroy the local process.
Cox said they are working hard to make sure everyone in Washington knows that Utah has a process its working through and Cong. Bishop is preparing a land use bill for Utah. Cox said, "The White House has a history of not giving a crap about what the Utah delegation wants."
Sherrel Ward, public lands council said he heard a little bit about the endangered species act that input would be needed not only from the Fish and Wildlife Service but local input would be needed before listings could take place.
Johnson said he's heard a little on that too, and will check into it. Cox said there are many things that could be done to make the Endangered Species Act better. Most of the people don't understand the Act and how harmful it can be. One example is the work that's been done to keep the sage grouse from being listed. A decision will be made on the sage grouse in 2015. A listing of the sage grouse could be devastating to several counties in Utah and surrounding states.
Miss Lockhart reported Sen. Lee is hosting an event on Aug. 21 at the Little America to discuss regulations at both the federal and local levels. Sen. Lee is back in the state for a month and visiting many places in the state. The quagga mussels are still a big topic in the state and how to keep them from spreading outward from Lake Powell.
Ward said he heard there are 13 states that aren't going to enforce the new EPA regulations for clean air and he wonders what will happen to them. Lawsuits could be filed, but Cox said he'd heard there wasn't anything clear about enforcement for the new EPA regulations at this time.
Johnson said Sen. Lee was very supportive of plans to expand Goblin Valley State Park.
Casey Snyder will replace Fred Ferguson in Cong. Bishop's office. Snyder said Cong. Bishop wants to take Emery County's public land use bill and run with it. Cong. Bishop is dedicated and public lands is a priority with him.
It's still not clear when Cong. Bishop's bill will be ready, but it looks like early 2015 would be the soonest it would be introduced. Some counties that aren't ready to move forward may fall behind according to Johnson, but Emery County has been very patient waiting for the bill to move.
Everyone seemed to agree that education is the key to getting this bill passed. The many diverse stakeholders must work together.
The BLM reported a helium well has been approved near Woodside. The comment period for the 29 oil and gas leases for the November oil and gas lease sales is open now. The BLM is looking at comments from the Range Creek fuels project which is proposing treatment for 50,000 acres in Range Creek. That comment period closed on July 26.
It was mentioned the BLM hasn't had a law enforcement contract with Emery County for the past two years.
Commissioner Nelson said it isn't a local problem because the BLM and Emery County have worked well together. The law enforcement contracts are being addressed at the state and national level.
Ward reported moisture is good. Mammoth Cottonwood is at 81 percent; Joe's Valley is at 86 percent. Cleveland Reservoir is 62 percent full; Millers Flat-67 percent; Huntington North-88 percent; Joe's Valley-80 percent and Millsite 88 percent; Electric Lake is at 72 percent. There are still snow drifts on top of Skyline Drive.

CARBONVILLE- A beautiful light in our lives dimmed today, but the sun and stars will now shine brighter forever. Today Sept. 10, 2008 our loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Rose Jaramillo passed away surrounded by her loving family.
She was born March 3, 1933 in Idaho Springs, Colo. to Oscar and Edith Wright Johnson. She met the love of her life, Antonio (Buddy) Jaramillo and they were married April 9, 1949. Their love and devotion to each other was unparalleled and inspirational. Together they raised three amazing children, Cindy (Frank) Pero, Toni (Bert) Jeanselme, and Terry (Jane) Jaramillo. They also have two "kids" Richard and Lynne Rudman.
Mom's love for her family was boundless and we were all her greatest joy. She was a great example of strength, endurance, and perseverance to all who knew her. No matter what, she was always "fine". Mom was strong-willed and determined to the end. Mom was famous for her beautiful rose garden. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Many of our fondest memories will be of us gathered in her house for her homemade chili and decorating the tree. Mom loved camping in Huntington Canyon and "the desert". She'd always say she "wasn't goin next time", but she was always there.
Rose was an immaculate housekeeper, a germ could no way survive. But in her house you were always home. Mom loved watching NASCAR and was Dale Earnhart's biggest fan. She then watched "Little E" every weekend.
Mom leaves behind a great legacy and testament to her life, her husband and children; grandchildren, Amie (Tory) Christiansen, Andy (Jessica) Jeanselme, Brett Jeanselme, Melissa (Brad) Heiner, Kristy (Hernan) Ortiz, Tiffany (Eddie) Malmgren, Nicholas Rudman, and Marissa (DeSean) Lydia; as well as 15 great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her sisters, Mabel Donohue and Margie Marshall.
Per mom's request no services will be held. Instead, the family suggests we celebrate her life by sharing memories with each other and reaching out to help someone in need.
The family wishes to thank everyone at Castleview Hospital, UVRMC, Utah Valley Specialty Hospital, and Rocky Mountain Hospice for their loving and compassionate care. Arrangements were entrusted to Mitchell Funeral Home of Price.

WIMBLEDON, England — Wimble-weird almost struck again.
Facing a two-set deficit against an unseeded player making his Wimbledon quarterfinal debut, Andy Murray exorcised the tournament's upset demons with a stirring five-set comeback victory against veteran Fernando Verdasco of Spain on Wednesday.
"I came through an incredibly tough match," No. 2 Murray told BBC as he left the court following his 4-6, 3-6, 6-1 6-4, 7-5 Centre Court win against No. 54 Verdasco. "It could have gone either way."
WIMBLEDON: When losing is really winning
Murray, the reigning U.S. Open champion and last year's Wimbledon runner-up, reached his fifth consecutive All-England Club semifinal
"Made some bad mistakes, poor choices on the court," Murray said. "And then, I turned it around really well after that."
The 26-year-old Scot faces No. 24 seed Jerzy Janowicz, who became the first Polish man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal by smashing 30 aces on his way to beating countryman Lukasz Kubot 7-5, 6-4, 6-4.
The other men's semifinal pits No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro — the only two players yet to drop a set.
Del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open winner, survived a scare on his already heavily taped knee in the first game against No. 4 David Ferrer of Spain. The 6-foot-6 Argentine crumpled to the ground but continued on, blasting French Open finalist Ferrer out of the tournament 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).
Djokovic, the top seed from Serbia, dug out of a two-break deficit in the second set to ease past powerful No. 7 seed Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 6-3.
"Coming into the semifinals I feel physically fresh," said Djokovic, who is seeking his second Wimbledon title and seventh major overall. "And I'm ready. Plenty of motivation to win every match that I play here."
Djokovic reached his 13th consecutive Grand Slam semifinal since losing in the quarterfinals of the 2010 French Open.
News, notes and highlights from Day 7 at Wimbledon, featuring Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Juan Martin del Potro and more!
With the Centre Court crowd roaring encouragement and desperate for a British male champion after 77 years, Murray found his back to the wall against Verdasco.
"I just started making mental errors, made some bad mistakes," said Murray after he squandered a 3-1 lead in the second set.
But he changed tactics, slowed the pace down, started to put more returns in play.
Despite his ranking, Verdasco is no Johnny-come-lately.
Once ranked as high as No. 7, the 29-year-old lefthander beat Murray in the fourth round of the 2009 Australian Open.
He arrived at Wimbledon with a 9-12 record but showed the firepower and risk-taking, especially on his second serve, that have made him a dangerous opponent for years.
"When he was break points down on second serves he wasn't slowing it down or going for the middle of the box," Murray said. "He was going for the lines and came up with some huge serves on big moments throughout the whole match really."
Del Potro looked to be out of the tournament in the first game of his match, when he hyperextended his left knee and fell to the ground on the fifth point.
"To be honest, I didn't want to retire (being) in the quarters for first time at Wimbledon," del Potro said. "And that's the reason for continuing play. The doctors gave me good anti-inflammatories."
After a break of about 10 minutes, del Potro was back on the court. He broke Ferrer twice in the first set, then moved easily through the second and third against one of the grittiest players in tennis.
"I have my knee problem, but always the opponent, the other players, can have different injuries, too," del Potro said. "You have to be strong, more than the rest."
When the matchup of Polish quarterfinalists ended, the compatriots embraced at the net for 20 seconds, and following that exchanged shirts. Janowicz then sat in his chair, clasped his hands over his nose and cried.
"Right now, I'm the most happy person in the world," Janowicz said.
Kubot waited for his countryman, and they walked together off the court, hand in hand for part of the time.
About playing Murray, Janowicz said: "I hope Andy will feel some kind of pressure. I'm sure he'll feel some kind of pressure because Great Britain is waiting for the English champion in Wimbledon."
This year's Wimbledon has been full of surprises, upsets and unexpected turns of events. Rafael Nadal went out in the first round; Roger Federer, Maria Sharapov and Victoria Azarenka in the second. Overwhelming favorite on the women's side Serena Williams lost in the fourth round. The slippery grass has caused multitudes of falls and complaints. None of the four women's semifinalists are major champs.
Though del Potro is clearly struggling with a painful knee injury, his game has been in spectacular form. Not just the feared forehand, but the serve, reminding observers of the player who swept past Roger Federer to win the 2009 U.S. Open.
Del Potro is 3-8 lifetime against Djokovic, though one of those victories came here, at the All England Club, when he beat the Serb in the Olympic bronze-medal match last year. Del Potro also won their last meeting, earlier this year on hardcourt at Indian Wells.
"He struggled with injuries in last few years, but every time he comes back, he comes back very strong because he just has this talent," Djokovic said.
Del Potro's victim Wednesday, Ferrer, also was a member of the injured brigade. He twisted an ankle in his opening match and has been dealing with it ever since.He cut short his pre-match hitting session because of pain in his ankle but said that was no excuse. Ferrer, who crossed the net to run toward del Potro to check on him when he fell, said he didn't see much change in his opponent's play after the injury.
"Juan Martin, he was more focused, he was playing more aggressive than me and he served very, very good in all three sets," Ferrer said.

For Canada's three MLS teams, the results were mixed.
Toronto FC fell to Real Salt Lake, 1-0 at BMO Field, continuing TFC's winless streak on home soil. The last time the Reds picked up maximum points on the grass pitch down by the lakeshore was on July 18, 2012, when they beat the Colorado Rapids by a score of 2-1.
A loss to Real Salt Lake wasn't entirely unexpected; the Western Conference leaders are the form team in MLS right now, having won seven of their last nine games.
Toronto FC had a few fleeting chances, with the best falling to Bobby Convey just inside the penalty box after Danny Koevermans found the winger cutting inside, only for Convey to poke his ensuing shot wide of the target.
There was a penalty appeal by Jeremy Brockie in the first half, after the Kiwi went down following contact with Real Salt Lake defender Nat Borchers. The referee made the correct decision in waving away Brockie's appeal, as Brockie simply ran into Borchers after pushing the ball beyond the defender. While there was contact – Borchers clipped his own heels and went down as a result – it wasn't instigated by the defender and certainly didn't merit a penalty kick.
Toronto FC head coach Ryan Nelsen felt otherwise, saying in the post-game press conference that they were denied a "stone-cold penalty".
Whether it was an attempt to deflect criticism away from yet another uninspiring performance is unclear. What is very evident is that Toronto FC is in dire need of a creative influence in midfield. Expect the upcoming transfer window to be a busy one for Nelsen and General Manager Kevin Payne, as the two continue to try to turn Toronto into a contender.
There was controversy in Washington, D.C. as the Vancouver Whitecaps held on for a 1-0 win against United. Camilo scored the game's only goal after he smashed home a penalty kick early in the second half following a foul by DC goalkeeper Bill Hamid on Vancouver midfielder Matt Watson.
The controversy arose because replays clearly show that Hamid played the ball before making contact with Watson, who went sprawling under the challenge.
Proponents of the call argue that "getting the ball first" isn't a defence for Hamid. They claim that his challenge was careless, and merited a foul being given. That the foul occurred inside the penalty area meant that referee Matt Foerster had no choice but to award a penalty.
Critics argue that Hamid's challenge was a legal one; he got the ball first, and his momentum carried him into Watson. It wasn't careless, but rather a strong challenge to win the ball.
I agree with the critics.
I do not want our game to become so sanitized that players are unable to challenge for the ball, knowing that even the slightest contact will result in a foul, a card or a penalty being given.
Contact between players has always been a part of the game and denying a goal-scoring opportunity – as Hamid did when he came out to challenge Watson – can swing the momentum in a game. The referee's job is to ensure that whatever contact occurs is within the laws of the game, but I feel that we are beginning to err too far on the side of caution. If this carries on, it won't be long before no contact at all is allowed in the game.
The controversy masked the fact that Vancouver has been on a tidy little run of late, winning five of their last seven games to drag themselves into the playoff race in the Western Conference. The Whitecaps have a tough week coming up, though, with an away game against Sporting KC on Wednesday (which can be seen live on TSN at 9pm et/6pm pt) followed by a home game against Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders on Saturday (also on TSN, 11pm et/8pm pt).
The Montreal Impact were involved in a seven-goal thriller at Stade Saputo in Montreal, conceding in stoppage time to lose 4-3 to the Colorado Rapids.
In head coach Marco Schallibaum's first season in charge, the Impact have been in fantastic form, sitting atop the Eastern Conference with 29 points from 15 games played. They have games in hand on all of the teams chasing them, and if the Impact can convert those games into points, they will have a very good chance of making their first MLS playoff appearance in just their second year in the league.
The Impact are anchored by some excellent senior players - Patrice Bernier, Marco Di Vaio, Alessandro Nesta and Matteo Ferrari to name a few. They have also made some very good off-season additions, with one of them – Daniele Paponi – scoring two goals against Colorado. If the Impact can stay healthy, they have more than enough to challenge not just for a playoff place, but also for a deep run into the post-season.
The Impact will kick off an MLS double header on TSN on Wednesday when they renew their rivalry with Toronto FC at 7pm et/4pm pt, before Sporting KC hosts the Vancouver Whitecaps at 9pm et/6pm pt.

1502 was the first date of importance for Europe in getting acquainted with cocoa and chocolate. It was the adventurous time of the Spanish conquistadores with Christopher Columbus the first to set sail to the new world. When he reached the island of Guanaja – close to Honduras – the local people went part of the way by proa to meet him, their boats loaded with cocoa beans.
As they offered their precious gift to Columbus, some of the beans fell into the water. The Mexicans dived into to the water to save the beans as if they were the most precious items in the world. This amazed the Spanish. However, they did not really value "these strange almonds" and regarded them as a worthless local oddity at first.

At the Ferron City Council meeting on Aug. 21, the council along with the Castle Valley Special Service District issued a boil order for the drinking water of all residents in Ferron. The order has since been lifted and the water in Ferron is safe to drink.
During monthly meter readings, the meter reader noted that one of the meters was running backward, which indicated something was drastically wrong. Upon further investigation, it was uncovered that one of the customers in Ferron had cross connected his secondary water lines and the culinary water system. This connection is not only extremely dangerous but highly illegal. Because of the difference in pressure between the two systems, the secondary water was entering the culinary system causing possible drinking water contamination .
Ferron City Attorney, David Blackwell, stated that charges for this kind of action could range anywhere from misdemeanor charges to federal felony charges.
All water lines in Ferron have been flushed and a sample of the water sent to the Utah State Health Department. The results came back and the water is safe to drink. The boil order was lifted on Aug. 23. The reports have all been made to the Utah Division of Drinking Water by the CVSSD.
Darrel Leamaster, from the CVSSD, has stated that an action such as this cross connection is illegal. Every city in the county has an ordinance against these cross connections.

I started playing golf about ten years ago. After playing a lot of sports growing up I started playing golf because you can't play football when you are 23. Golf was very hard for me to pick up. It is really hard to hit the ball and to hit it straight! I'm now in my mid thirties and I'm a little better, but still need a lot of practice. Even though it is extremely hard it is extremely addicting.
I can play 18 holes of golf terribly and want to go back out and do it all over again. There is truly something about this game that is not like any other game. I also love the equipment and how you can tailor make it your personality. For instance, I just got a new camo golf bag. This thing is sweet because I love all things that are camo. It looks great and people comment on it all the time when we are on the course.
If you are into hunting and golf then you will definitely want to purchase a camouflage golf bag. I will be honest in saying that it might not help your game. Actrually it wont help your game at all but it will help you feel better out there. It helps to keep you in your personal zone.
Sure it does all that it is supposed to in keeping your gear safe and secure, but it is mainly for asethic appeal, and so you can show up your friends who don't have one!
You can find them on a lot of websites, but my favorite one to check out is this one. They have all things camo and golf related. Check them out and before you know it you will be coolest golfer at your club! Everyone will be asking you where you got it, and you can tell them I sent you!

A special formulation designed specifically for hair removal from the bikini area. Surgi-Wax Brazilian removes hair from the root, leaving your skin free of re-growth for weeks!
Always test hot wax on a small area of your skin for possible skin reaction. Wait 24 hours. If skin appears normal, proceed with complete hair removal treatment. Do not use wax if you have a pre-existing skin condition, sunburn, Diabetes, Phlebitis, recent scar tissue, or irritated skin. Do not use for any other applications other that the intended use. Do not bathe in hot water immediately before or after waxing.
The Surgi-Care hair removal collection includes microwavable waxes, wax strips, bleaches and depilatory creams for flawlessly smooth skin.
Buy It!!!OMG this works!! I was skeptical when I saw this and even after I bought it, I was still scared to use it. Ive never had a professional brazilian wax either but Ive been crazy enough to pluck (ow!). But dang, when I used this on myself, it was sooo easy and painless! Even after removing ALL the hair from down under I wish there was still more cuz it was actually fun!! Ive only tried this once but the experience was great! I used the oil beforehand, but notice my skin was really oily afterwards so Im going to try it without the oil next. Hope I wont regret that decision. Another tip is that when putting on the wax - dont go too thick!! I learned that as I was trying to pull off the second section. AND IT WOULDNT PULL OFF!! I had to take tweezers and one-by-one remove each hair at the root to remove the mess. but other than that it works great! If I can do it even though Ive never witnessed a professional do it- ANYONE CAN!!Aug 15, 2009Quynh / San Jose

Awesome With One Bad PointI bought this product half a year ago and thought it was awful due to the fact I was using it wrong. I didnt know you had to put on the oil that comes with it BEFORE waxing so the wax was sticking to my skin and making it tearfully painful. I bought it again recently and, after reading the instructions, followed the procedures. It works wonderfully! I heat it up for 60 seconds in the microwave and wait till it cools a little. I then work in quarter size patches to remove my pubic hair. Its not horribly painful, but heres the part that bothers me. The wax doesnt have cloth strips to adhere the wax to which makes the start of removing a bit of wax painful. You have to pick at the edge a bit to get a grip on it before yanking and this slow motion pull is akin to pulling off a bandaid super slow. The jerking part once you get a grip is fine, but this start of the yank HURTS. >_< This product works wonders though and is 10000% better than the Sally Hansen equivalents (those dont remove ANY hair). Also, the wax is very fragrant. One bottle will work for 2 full Brazilian waxes. I would highly recommend it.Aug 4, 2009Kim / Boston, MA

I Need Surgery!!!I have used this product today. This is horrible. I decided to try this product to save me money. I did a small patch test. Everything went fine. Next , I applied the wax and it was terrible. I could not get this stuff off. I dont know if it is because I have nail tips on but I would not recommend this product to anyone. Five hours later this cement mold is left on my vagina! and it is green! I tried Vaseline, the little oil that comes with the kit, I sat in the bathtub for 1 hour to soak and it is still stuck. Also, the wax is under my nail tips. Luckily, I made an appointment to get a professional waxing tomorrow. This wax is stuck on one side of my vagina and it is hard as a rock!!I didnt know if I had to go to the hospital or to a spa for removal of this sh**! I am terribly upset and embarrassed! I would rate this product beyond poor! That is a good name for the product Surgi. Because after using this product you might need surgery from aggravating a vein or blood vessel. Caution, Do not use or buy!Aug 2, 2009Anonymous

You Have Got To Use This!!!!I was a little hesitant about not getting waxed in a salon but I figured I would try to save money by doing it myself. I found this product as was BLOWN AWAY! I could of been saving money this whole time. Not only is it so easy to use but it hurt 50% less than when I would get it professionally done. Take my advice......Save yourself the money of going to a salon and use the Surgi Wax. Its BETTER than the salon!Jul 25, 2009Happy Waxer / Los Angeles,CA

The Best Do It YourselfThis is the best product Ive ever used! For some reason muslim strips NEVER work for me, but this stuff gets everything usually in one rip and if the hair is not all gone its very loose in the follicle and so the next rip does not hurt at all. This product also does not stick to the skin at all provided you use the oil. This was the first wax kit I ever tried and the last Ill ever "try" because this works everytime with very beautiful results and since it works so well I actually have minimal hairgrowth in the places Ive used it, its like laser hair removal but cheaper.Jun 24, 2009Mandi / Texas

Love ItI love this product and its really not painful. If you havent heated it to the right consistency I can see how it can be messy. Also, wait till it hardens before you pull it and keep your dog away as mine has wax all over him........Jun 15, 2009Myriam Willey / Novato,ca

The Best Wax I've TriedI have to say that Surgiwax Brazilian Bikini Wax for Private Parts is, hands down, the best wax Ive tried. I have had professional waxing done & it hurt like heck. I tried the at home waxing kits with the muslin strips & the waxing kits with the ready-to-use waxing kits...the muslin is painful & ready-to-use strips just flat-out didnt work. My first experience with the Surgiwax was not a good one because I didnt know how to use it properly, but now I cant live without this stuff. The pain is minimal and it takes off everything that I need removed & leaves my skin smooth. I havent been able to find it in stores for a couple months & I thought I was gonna go crazy. Fortunately Ive found it online & I would recommend that anyone give it a try.May 31, 2009Kimberly T / Houston, Texas

I've Tried Them All And This Is The Only One That Worked For Me!I have caurse, difficult to remove hair and this is the only product that works to remove hair COMPLETELY. I have my legs, underarms & eyebrows waxed by a professional, however, I wax my "private parts" myself and this is the BEST product Ive ever used. I am so dissapointed that I cant find it in stores anymore. I have tried several other products, even those that claim to be for, "difficult to remove hair" none of them worked for me. I swear by this product and will continue to purchase even if the only way to purchase is online.May 20, 2009Eurydice Darrington / California

Extremely Satisfied, Better Than Salley's Brazilian WaxI have used Salleys Brazilian wax and for a direct comparison; Surgi is no doubt more superior. 1. Surgis wax is definitely less sticky and easier to remove than Salleys. I can actually test the temperature with my fingertips without making a mess. 2. The consistency is great. It grabs the hair well and with the pre-apply oil I was able to yank the wax strip ONCE and leave the area COMPLETELY with very minor pain. Salleys is much sticker, stick to everything, including your skin. After applying the wax I usually need to yank and pull like 3, 4 times until I could remove ~50% of hair that was covered, if lucky. Sometimes left some follicles bleeding. I strongly recommend Surgi��s.May 17, 2009Happy Customer

Much Better Than Professional Waxing- If You Do It Right!I cant get professional waxes or use most products down there bc Im very sensitive. This stuff works great but ONLY if you use it right. First, you need to trim your hair till its fairly short so that it doesnt get caught in the wax - it must be done shorter than you would think! Second, you must really oil up, the more oil the better it will work and the less it will hurt. I frequently use extra oil from my kitchen because the package doesnt come with enough. Finally, I heat up the wax until its much thinner than the directions say it should be. If its too thick it hurts a lot more to take off. The wax is really hot when its thin so make sure you blow on it before applying. There are a few places down there that I still cant use this on (wont say too much but you can guess) but I dont think anything else works either. Its the best stuff out there to get the most bare though, and it lasts awhile. Hair grows back much thinner.May 5, 2009Kittyj / United States

My favorite sneakers.
"This is my 2nd pair of Nike Reax shoes. I have an older pair that I wear for the gym and they are so comfortable I decided to get a lighter colored pair for the summer. They do run a little small, I am a size 10 but I wear an 11 in this shoe. The new pair fit as well as my first pair, I am very happy with these shoes."

Phones at IFA 2012
IFA 2012 is expected to be quite the opportunity for the mobile phone manufacturers of the world to launch their little darlings into the public realm. While MWC was more commonly used for just that purpose, a more recent biannual smartphone cycle has seen IFA take just as an important role in the routine. And, if you want to know about phones, the whole phones and nothing but the phones from IFA 2012 in Berlin, then you've come to the right place.
We'll be updating this page with all the mobile phone announcements from Europe's biggest consumer technology show. Whether it's the news, the pictures or a hands-on account of the features, you'll find it here.
ZTE Grand X IN
ZTE has released its first Intel-powered smartphone in the form of the ZTE Grand X IN. Running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and powered by an Intel Atom Z2460 processor, the ZTE Grand X IN is the manufacturer's flagship device, replacing its predecessor, the ZTE Grand X.
Sporting a 4.3-inch 960 x 540 pixel resolution touch display capable of capturing up to 16 million colours, the Android handset can support HSPA+ 21Mbps data speeds with the aid of the Intel XMM 6260 Platform. It has an 8-megapixel snapper, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, GPS and DLNA and Mobile HD link connectivity. They've even managed to find room for that increasingly must-have smartphone feature, NFC. Read more
Huawei Ascend D Quad XL
In a move designed to help Huawei stand out against companies like Samsung and HTC, the company has announced a new skin that will sit on top of Google's Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS called the Emotion UI along with a series of four smartphones.
The flagship device is the Huawei Ascend D1 Quad XL, a 4.5-inch touchscreen touting smartphone with a 1.2GHz processor, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a front-facing 1.3 megapixel camera and a 2,600mAh battery in a device 11.5mm thick. Read more | Hands-on
HTC Desire X
HTC has announced the HTC Desire X at IFA in Berlin, dubbing the phone perfect for Android users wanting plenty of power, but not so much power as the company's flagship One series models. The is best described as a smartphone rather than a superphone - HTC's words not ours.
Although the company has yet to confirm pricing, HTC has told Pocket-lint that it will be aimed below the HTC One V announced at Mobile World Congress back in February (currently available free in the UK on a 18-month contract at £21 a month from O2), but above the HTC Desire C. The phone itself is sleek and slender, will sport a 4-inch touch screen with WVGA 480 x 800 resolution. Read more | Hands-on
Samsung Ativ S
Samsung has unveiled a Windows Phone 8 device in the shape of the Samsung Ativ S. Sporting a huge 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 1.5GHz dual-core processor, the Samsung Ativ S also has HSPA+42 connectivity.
Samsung has also kitted the phone with an 8-megapixel camera and a 1.9-megapixel front-facer for video calls. With such top-end specs, the Samsung Ativ S provides a Windows Phone 8 alternative to the Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S III that has served the Korean manufacturer so well. Read more | Pictures
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 tablet-come-phone is now official. The 5.5-inch "phablet" is run by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM. The touchscreen is made up of a HD Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 16:9 display, and Samsung claims that it's thinner, lighter and brighter than on the phone's predecessor.
The device comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean from the box, there's an 8-megapixel camera on the rear and a 1.9-megapixel one on the front. The rear camera is coupled with an LED flash while many of the features found on the Galaxy S III have made it to the Note 2: Best Photo, Best Faces and Low light shot. Read more | Hands-on
Samsung Galaxy Camera
There have been camera phones, phone cameras, cameras and simply phones but finally Samsung has come up with one that we're not quite sure what it is at all. The Samsung Galaxy Camera is a connected camera. There's a 3G and Wi-Fi version as well as a 4G and Wi-Fi version. What all of that means is that you can connect your pictures to the cloud and the cloud to your picture whenever and wherever you like.
It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, has a 16-Megapixel 1/2.3" BSI CMOS unit and it'll capture light focused at it through a 23mm wide angle lens - a piece of glass far superior to that of a camera phone. What's more, that lens will also offer you up to a whopping 21x optical zoom. Yes, optical, not digital. Read more | Hands-on
Sony Xperia T
The Sony Xperia T will be the company's new flagship device. Built on the Arc design, it has a 4.6-inch Bravia display and features NFC to connect an array of Sony devices. It's a system that Sony has already used with its SmartTags already available.
The Xperia T comes packing a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Krait dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 1850mAh battery, and will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at launch rather than Jelly Bean. Its 13MP camera features 16x digital zoom and Sony's Exmor R image sensor, and will shoot full 1080p video. There's also up to 16GB of on-board memory expandable to 32GB via microSD. Read more | Hands-on
Sony Xperia V
The Sony Xperia V might not be the pinnacle of what the company has to offer for 2012 but it's not a long way off. What's more, it seems it's designed to last you a little while. What you get is a water resistant handset to use it "come rain or shine" says Sony, with very similar specs to the Sony Xperia T.
It has the the same 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 13MP camera, Ice Cream Sandwich OS and NFC technology. The screen size, however, is a touch more modest at 4.3 inches on the diagonal with a 720p HD Reality Display. It will also come with LTE support in the US. Read more | Hands-on
Sony Xperia J
The Sony Xperia J will be the company's more "budget friendly" offering. What you get for your currently unknown amount of cash is a Android device with a 4.0-inch FWVGA Display, some social media updates with illumination (whatever that might refer to) and a 5-megapixel camera.
There's no word on what version of Android but we'd expect Ice Cream Sandwich and it will be available in black, gold, white and pink. More info and better pictures when we get them. Hands-on
LG Optimus L9
LG has announced a new follow-up to the L Series, first announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February: the LG Optimus L9. The new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone sits at the top of the so called "L tree" and comes packed with all the usual treats in a 9.1mm thick chassis.
It has a 9.1mm thin body, a 4.7-inch IPS display, 1Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage, 5-megapixel camera, a rather large 2,150mAh SiO+ battery that promises a full day without the need to find a charger and LG's own custom Android skin. There's also a QTranslator function that will help you translate 44 foreign languages to 64 user languages when you are on your travels. Read more | Hands-on
Acer Liquid Gallant (Duo)
The Acer Liquid Gallant and Acer Liquid Gallant Duo are exactly the same apart from the latter having dual-SIM capability. The phones run Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich and feature a 4.3-inch 960 x 540 resolution display. The camera is a 5-megapixel snapper with LED flash and Acer is keen to flag that it has the power button positioned on the back of the handset.
The reasoning behind this, apparently, is that it makes it easier to illuminate the screen when you take the device out of your pocket. Both phones are available in "gentle black" and "ceramic white", while the Acer Liquid Gallant Duo's dual-SIM credentials mean users can insert two SIMs into the handset and switch between two different phone numbers and tariffs simultaneously.

Comments about Baume de Rose Baume de Rose IP:
This product is extremely overpriced. For half the money you can have Dior's rose balm that is equally as good (maybe even less sticky).
Comments about Baume de Rose Baume de Rose IP:
This really is the best lip treatment out there, and for the price tag it should be. I will buy this again and found that the jar lasts longer than I anticipated. The rose scent is pleasant. As a side note, I also purchased this for my sister in law - she LOVES it.

This is a cult classic and I understand why. I have used consistently for a couple of days and my dry lips are gone! They are soft and supple even when I am not wearing this stuff!! Amazing!
Best Uses
Comments about Baume de Rose Baume de Rose IP/SPF 15:
I splurged and bought this - the price being way over my head for a lip balm. I have tried many other products including B Brown, Dior, La Mer, etc and although I do love them, nothing compares to by Terry Baume de Rose. I was pleasantly surprised by the texture the first time i used it. It was so soft, almost like a thick lotion instead of a hard balm you normally have to press hard on. It goes on so smoothly and immediately leaves my lips moisturized, plump, and with a healthy sheen. There is a VERY VERY slight pink color, but its so natural you'd think it was your own natural lip color. I cannot live with out this product now. I literally look forward to putting it on as soon as I get home from work. There is a very light rosey scent (not as strong as the Dior one) that I am addicted to. Its like heaven in a bottle. The price is high, yes. But i think I will splurge every once in a while on this amazing product when i run out.

A good lip treatment but too expensive, there're many other good lip treatment products too, many alternatives. Won't buy unless it's on very good deal

EEEKKK! Halloween was here and we had all the usual ghosts and goblins running around Green River. The first annual Trunk-or-Treat was a success. There was a good turnout of trunks with candy and treaters to visit those trunks. It was at the senior center and was organized by Heather Parsons. She did such a great job and everyone is looking forward to it next year.
Then the ghosts and goblins with a few witches and princesses thrown in here and there went over to the Halloween carnival that is put on every year by the fire department. Then all those little ones in disguises went on to more Trick-or-Treating. I haven't decided whether Halloween is a dentist's favorite holiday or worst nightmare holiday, so don't forget to brush.

2b Tarrant Avenue, Bellevue Hill
Ahh, Bellevue Hill, one of Sydney's stomping grounds for the elite. One of the things they do there is buy up sexy pieces of real estate, which is where 2b Tarrant Avenue comes into the frame. It's currently on the market for offers around $5m. Much to my chagrin, I just discovered that Title Deeds got to this one first, but they don't seem to go into a hell of a lot of detail, so let me add some colour for you (not that I was ever particularly good at sticking within the lines).
If you don't know much about Bellevue Hill, the Fin helpfully wrote up a suburb profile and didn't hide it behind a paywall – free win! To summarise: approximately 5km east of the CBD; rich, rich, rich; non-waterfront; serious architectural cred; bastion of moneyed up business players (Lachlan Murdoch). Houses can fetch over $20m. If you have $20m, please get in contact with me via the 'contact' tab so I can provide you with my phone number.
The living room – above – is my favourite part of the house, particularly as it has city views, opens out onto the pool area and has a swanky bar – check, check, check. Another place that fulfils my house party fantasies. It's sheer Art Deco goodness (especially the checkered flooring).
Someone with exquisite taste in both liquor and design owns this house. They can join my social circle any time. Perfect crisp white block colour with a mirrored background opening up the space and well-chosen cultured New Yorker prints amongst the bottles of Veuve. I managed to photograph it without getting my reflection in the shot, too, so let's not discount my role in all this, ha!
At first I thought it was older, but I'm taking a punt and placing this stately home in the mid-century age range, which suits the profile of the suburb as well as the Art Deco features of the house. The owners have placed an emphasis on internal design, and I'm envious of the ubiquity of the views; you can see Sydney Tower (isn't it called Centre Point? When did they change the name?) and Deutsche Bank Place from the dressing room. The dressing room. I'd be happy to have a dressing room, let alone a dressing room with city vistas.
One of the children's single bedrooms has an en suite – my childhood dream. It also has an excellent, honeycomb-like window frame that I fell hard for.
And so we come to the main bedroom, with the famed dressing room and an epically large en suite. The main is well put together and perfectly positioned for the views.
It's a good-sized family home with an extensive ground floor. And it has trimmings – serious trimmings. The library is my favourite of these. It might be fairly compact, but it's a library, and I'll be damned if I don't want one just like it when I grow up and
marry a director of a hedge fund.
I've run out of my amazingly witty and insightful comments, so I'll leave you to gaze at the photos. You'll probably find, like I did, that one of the best aspects of this home is the care that's been taken to accessorise it and give it that 'hidden gem' feel; every room has something in it that pops and pulls you in.

West Allis - About this time last year, West Allis officials were looking ahead to what was shaping up to be a banner year of development.
A hotel was to break ground at 82nd Street and Greenfield Avenue with a grocery store to follow soon. A $38 million headquarters for a nonprofit health care provider was ready to go in the Six Points area. And another business was in the last stages of negotiations to build a facility in the old lime pit area.
None of the $100 million worth of development materialized. But there is still hope for some of it this year, officials said.
Hotel vacancy for now
The 100-room hotel proposed by Waterpark Ventures Management Services LLC, a group affiliated with the operators of Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells, was delayed by federal government slowness in performing background checks on the Chinese investors bankrolling the hotel, said West Allis Alderman Thomas Lajsic, chairman of the Safety and Development Committee.
The government does the background checks so that it can issue the investors green cards to come to the United States.
"Many hotels are built that way" with money from wealthy individual Chinese investors, Lajsic said.
The developer is now planning to break ground early this year on the $13 million project, he said.
The city was close to an agreement with a grocery store to complement the hotel development, but the grocer hasn't committed, Lajsic said.
Meanwhile, another grocery chain has expressed renewed interest, he added.
Lost developments
A development that won't come back is a $38 million project along South 66th Street between Greenfield and National avenues near Six Points. It would have meant not only tax money from the former Pressed Steel Tank factory site, but 150 new jobs.
The project, by the Tarantino Co., would have included offices for the headquarters of Community Care Inc., plus a nursing home, community-based residential care center and an assisted-living facility.
Community Care, 1555 S. Layton Blvd., Milwaukee, helps frail seniors and adults with physical or developmental disabilities live at home, sometimes with provision of adult day care. The plan proposed in February 2012 consisted of a health care campus of four new buildings on 7.5 acres .
But Community Care decided to outsource a lot of the services it would have offered at the West Allis location, so it doesn't need the development, said John Stibal, development department director.
While disappointed, officials are still optimistic that as the economy turns around, the Pressed Steel site will be snapped up.
"It's a great location," said Vince Vitale, the 1st District alderman whose jurisdiction includes the site, which he noted is centrally located with the Interstate 94 freeway less than a mile to the north.
Alderman Michael Czaplewski, who also represents the area, also sees an opportunity for something better at Pressed Steel. A clean light manufacturing company would be better and generate even more jobs, he said.
Of the defunct project, he said "It wasn't the optimum use for the property, but it would have been nice."
Another disappointment was the pullout by company that had been in the last stages of negotiations for the lime pit area at 67th Place and Becher Street, where the property was previously cleaned up and marketed for development.The company found a building in Franklin it could move right into, negating the need to build a facility in West Allis, Lajsic said.
Financial implications
Both the lime pit property and the health care headquarters project area are in special taxing districts designed to help them develop.
The city has already invested in cleaning them up and providing other improvements to encourage development. Under the taxing district arrangement, once development occurs, most of the property taxes the new development pays will go to pay off the city's borrowing for the improvements.
But because of the slow-recovery economy, the debt repayment is going slower than expected.
As a result, the City Development Department has proposed to help the two taxing districts along by using excess funds from a third taxing district that is doing well. That taxing district helped Quad/Graphics build a $12.5 million printing facility at Highway 100 and Theo Trecker Way and the district will be paid off this year.
The proposal is to use about $1.4 million in excess funds from the Quad/Graphics district to pay down the debt in the 11-acre lime pit taxing district at 1960 S. 67th Place.
Another $1.3 million in excess funds from the Quad/Graphics district would be used to pay down the debt on the taxing district in which the health care headquarters would have been located. That taxing district has actually already attracted $29 million in development, with another $10 million expected this year, the Development Department officials note.
A public hearing will be held Tuesday before the Community Development Board on the two money transfers. Development officials see them as protections against potential shortfalls on repayment, until development goes forward.
Still investing
Despite the problems in those two taxing districts, the city hasn't given up on the idea of investing in its future.
Also on Tuesday, the board will conduct another public hearing on a separate development proposal, in which the city would invest another $3.25 million in a successful special taxing district that has given rise to Summit Place in the 6700 block of West Washington Street.
Some $47 million of new development has already taken place on what once was the deteriorating Allis-Chalmers location. Summit Place is the city's largest taxpayer and its 50 businesses provide 2,300 jobs, development officials said.
To help the district reach its full potential, officials propose providing $2 million as a financial incentive for private construction of additional parking that will be needed by additional tenants. As a further encouragement, officials propose a $500,000 economic growth incentive fund to support business expansion and attract new jobs.
Another $500,000 would be a loan fund to help area residents spruce up their homes to upgrade the entire area, and the final $250,000 would be for administration and legal activities.
The additional investment would mean the taxing district would be paid off in 2018 instead of 2016.
