All About Cervical Cancer
What is the cervix?
The cervix is the name for the lowest part of the uterus. The uterus is an organ that only women have, and it is where a baby grows and develops when a woman is pregnant. During pregnancy, the uterus has an enormous increase in size. When a woman is not pregnant, the uterus is a small, pear-shaped organ that sits between a woman's rectum and her bladder. The cervix connects the uterus with the birth canal (the vagina). The cervix can both be visualized and sampled by your doctor during a routine pelvic examination in his or her office.
What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer develops when cells in the cervix begin to grow out of control and can then invade nearby tissues or spread throughout the body. Large collections of cells that grow abnormally are called tumors. Some tumors are not cancer, because they cannot spread or threaten someone's life. These are called benign tumors. The tumors that can spread throughout the body or invade nearby tissues are considered cancer and are called malignant tumors. Usually, cervix cancer is very slow growing, although in certain circumstances it can grow and spread quickly.
Cancers are characterized by the cells that they originally form from. The most common type of cervical cancer is called squamous cell carcinoma; it comes from cells that lie on the surface of the cervix known as squamous cells. Squamous cell cervical cancer compromises about 80% of all cervical cancers. The second most common form is adenocarcinoma; it comes from cells that make up glands in the cervix. The percentage of cervical cancers that are adenocarcinomas has risen since the 1970s, although no one knows exactly why. About 3% to 5% of cervical cancers have characteristics of both squamous and adenocarcinomas and are called adenosquamous carcinomas. There are a few other very rare types like small cell and neuroendocrine carcinoma that are so infrequent that they will not be discussed further here.
Am I at risk for cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is vastly more common in developing nations than it is in developed nations, and it is fairly rare in the United States. In the U.S. in 2013, an estimated 12,340 women in the United States were diagnosed with cervical cancer and 4,030 women in the United States died from cervical cancer. This puts cervical cancer as the 12th most common cancer that women develop, and the 14th most common cause of cancer death for women in the U.S. However, cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer death in developing nations, with about 370,000 new cases annually having a 50% mortality rate. Decades ago, cervical cancer was the number one cause of cancer deaths in women in the U.S. There has been a 75% decrease in incidence and mortality from cervical cancer in developed nations over the past 50 years. Most of this decrease is attributed to the effective institution of cervical cancer screening programs (pap and/or HPV testing) in the wealthier nations.
Although there are several known risk factors for getting cervical cancer, no one knows exactly why one woman gets it and another doesn't. One of the most important risk factors for cervical cancer is infection with a virus called HPV (human papilloma virus). HPV is a sexually transmitted disease that is incredibly common in the population; most college-aged men and women have been exposed to HPV. HPV is the virus that causes genital warts, but having genital warts doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get cervical cancer. There are different subtypes, or strains, of HPV. Only certain subtypes are likely to cause cervical cancer, and the subtypes that cause warts are unlikely to cause a cancer. Often, infection with HPV causes no symptoms at all, until a woman develops a pre-cancerous lesion of the cervix. It should be stressed that only a very small percentage of women who have HPV will develop cervical cancer; so simply having HPV doesn't mean that you will get sick. However, almost all cervical cancers have evidence of HPV virus in them, so infection is a major risk factor for developing it.
Because infection with a sexually transmitted disease is a risk factor for cervical cancer, any risk factors for developing sexually transmitted diseases are also risk factors for developing cervical cancer. Women who have had multiple male sexual partners, began having sexual intercourse at an early age, or have had male sexual partners who are considered high risk (meaning that they have had many sexual partners and/or began having sexual intercourse at an early age) are at a higher risk for developing cervical cancer. Also, contracting any other sexually transmitted diseases (like herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis, or Chlamydia) increases a woman's risk. HIV infection is another risk factor for cervical cancer, but it may be so for a slightly different reason. It seems that any condition that weakens your immune system also increases your risk for developing cervical cancer. Conditions that weaken your immune system include HIV, having had an organ transplantation, and Hodgkin's disease. Another important risk factor for developing cervical cancer is smoking. Smokers are at least twice as likely as non-smokers to develop cervix tumors. Smoking may also increase the importance of the other risk factors for cancer. Finally, being in a low socioeconomic group seems to increase the likelihood for developing and dying from cervical cancer. This may be because of increased smoking rates, or perhaps because there are more barriers to getting annual screening exams. Cervical cancer is one of the few cancers that affects young women (in their twenties and even their teens), so no one who is sexually active is really too young to begin screening. Additionally, the risk for cervical cancer doesn't ever decline, so no one is too old to continue screening. Remember that all risk factors are based on probabilities, and even someone without any risk factors can still get cervical cancer. Proper screening and early detection are our best weapons in reducing the mortality associated with this disease.
How can I prevent cervical cancer?
Fortunately, there are several actions that women can take to decrease the risk of dying from cervix cancer. The first of these is undergoing regular Pap testing. Pap tests will be discussed further in the next section, but the reason that women have had such a drastic drop in cervical cancer cases and deaths in this country has been because of the Pap test and annual screening.
There are three vaccines, called Gardasil, Gardasil 9, and Ceravix have been developed. These vaccines have been demonstrated to be effective in preventing infection with some strains of HPV, when given before a person is exposed to HPV. For this reason, the vaccines are recommended for girls and young women ages 11– 26 years. Vaccination is also recommended for boys, ages 9-21. In addition to cervical cancer, HPV is also a cause of vulvar, vaginal, penile and anal cancers and some head & neck cancers. It also causes genital warts and leads to abnormal Pap test results that result in further testing or treatment.
For further prevention, women should try to reduce risk factors as much as possible. Don't start smoking, and if you are already a smoker, it is time to quit. Smoking has been shown to decrease the immune system's ability to clear an HPV infection. Women can limit their numbers of sexual partners, and delay the onset of sexual activity to reduce risk, as more partners increases the likelihood of infection. Unfortunately, condoms do not protect you from developing HPV, so even though they can protect you from other sexually transmitted diseases and HIV, they cannot help lower your risk for being infected with HPV.
Many people are interested in preventing cervical cancer with vitamins or diets. Studies looking at beta-carotene and folic acid for preventing cervical cancer have shown no benefit. Some people think that anti-oxidants (like vitamin A and vitamin E) may play a role in cervical cancer prevention, but there is currently no convincing data that would suggest so. Further studies need to be performed before any nutritional recommendations can be made regarding cervix cancer prevention.
What screening tests are available?
Cervical cancer is considered a preventable disease. It usually takes a very long time for pre-cancerous lesions to progress to invasive cancers and we have effective screening methods that can detect pre-cancerous lesions that can generally be cured without serious side effects. Effective screening programs in the United States have led to the drastic decline in the numbers of cervical cancer deaths in the last 50 years. For women who do end up with cervical cancer in developed nations, 60% of them either have never been screened or haven't been screened in the last five years. The importance of regular cervical cancer screening cannot be overstated.
The current hallmark of cervical cancer screening is the Pap test. Pap is short for Papanicolaou, the inventor of the test, who published a breakthrough paper back in 1941. A Pap test is easily performed in your doctor's office. During a pelvic examination, your doctor uses a wooden spatula and/or a brush to get samples of cervical cells. These cells are placed on a slide, fixed, and sent to a laboratory where an expert in examining cells under a microscope can look for cancerous changes. Many women find the exam uncomfortable, but rarely painful. Depending on the results of the test, your doctor may need to perform further examinations.
Although the Pap test is highly effective, it isn't a perfect test. Sometimes, the test may miss cells that have potential to become an invasive cancer. The test shouldn't be performed when you are menstruating; and if collection goes perfectly, even the best laboratories can miss abnormal cells. This is why women need to have the tests performed on a regular basis.
In addition, HPV testing is frequently done along with the Pap test. HPV testing can theoretically find the vast majority of women who are at risk for developing cervical cancer. The subtype of HPV predicts how likely it is to lead to a cervical cancer. The DNA of cervical cells can be tested to identify high-risk types of HPV that may be present. The FDA has approved HPV DNA tests for follow-up testing of women with abnormalities on a pap test. HPV DNA tests are also approved for general cervical cancer screening of women over the age of 30, when done together with a Pap test.
Current guidelines for screening, from the American Cancer Society, are that all women should begin cervical cancer screening at age 21 with the following methods:
- Age 21-29: Pap testing done every 3 years. HPV testing is used only to follow up abnormal Pap results.
- Age 30-65: Pap testing and HPV test done every 5 years. Alternatively, a woman could have a Pap test alone every 3 years.
- Over age 65: women who have had normal Pap results can stop testing all together. Women who have had a history of a serious cervical pre-cancer should continue to be tested for 20 years after that diagnosis, even if this continues past age 65.
- Women who have had their uterus & cervix removed for reasons not related to cervical cancer and have no history of cervical cancer or pre-cancer do not need testing.
- Women who have had HPV vaccination should still have Pap testing per the above guidelines.
Guidelines also note that women with certain risk factors may need more frequent screening. These risk factors include being infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), being immunosuppressed, having been exposed to diethylstilbestrol (DES) before birth, and having previously been treated for certain cervical abnormalities or cancer.
What are the signs of cervical cancer?
Unfortunately, the early stages of cervical cancer usually do not have any symptoms. This is why it is important to have screening Pap tests. As a tumor grows in size, it can produce a variety of symptoms including:
- abnormal bleeding (including bleeding after sexual intercourse, in between periods, heavier/longer lasting menstrual bleeding, or bleeding after menopause)
- abnormal vaginal discharge (may be foul smelling)
- pelvic or back pain
- pain on urination
- blood in the stool or urine
Many of these symptoms are non-specific, and could represent a variety of different conditions; however, your doctor needs to see you if you have any of these problems.
How is cervical cancer diagnosed and staged?
The most common reason for your doctor to pursue the diagnosis of cervical cancer is if you have an abnormal Pap test. Pap tests exist to find pre-cancerous lesions in your cervix. A pre-cancerous lesion means that there are abnormal appearing cancer cells, but they haven't invaded past a tissue barrier in your cervix; thus a pre-cancerous lesion cannot spread or harm you. However, if left untreated, a pre-cancerous lesion can evolve to an invasive cancer. Pap tests are reported as no abnormal cells, abnormal cells of undetermined significance, low risk abnormal cells or high risk abnormal cells. Depending on your specific case, your doctor will decide how to proceed.
A report of no abnormal cells equates to a negative test, meaning you simply need to follow-up in one year. The abnormal cells of undetermined significance can be handled in three different ways. Women can either get a repeat Pap test in 4-6 months, they can get HPV testing, or they can be referred for colposcopy. Colposcopy is a procedure done during a pelvic exam with the aide of a colposcope, which is like a microscope. By using acetic acid on the cervix and examining it with a colposcope, your doctor can look for abnormal areas of your cervix. Then, the most abnormal areas can be biopsied. A biopsy is the only way to know for sure if you have cancer, because it allows your doctors to get cells that can be examined under a microscope. Once the tissue is removed, a doctor known as a pathologist will review the specimen. Colposcopy is uncomfortable, but not painful, and can be done in your gynecologist's office. Your doctor will decide how to proceed with the workup of a Pap test showing abnormal cells of undetermined significance depending on the details of your case. If repeat Pap tests are not normal, then you will be referred for colposcopy. If you test positive for HPV, you will be referred for colposcopy. Generally, most patients with low risk abnormal cells, or high risk abnormal cells will be immediately referred for colposcopy. If you are pregnant, an adolescent, HIV positive, or post-menopausal, your doctor may have slightly different recommendations. Also, sometimes your Pap test will show cells that look abnormal but could have come from higher in your uterus. There is a chance that if this happens, you will need to have your uterine lining sampled. Talk to your doctor about your Pap test results, and what you need to do next after an abnormal Pap smear.
If you are having symptoms (bleeding/discharge) from a cervical cancer, then it can probably be visualized during a pelvic exam. Any time your doctor can see a cervical tumor on pelvic exam, it will be immediately biopsied. When abnormal appearing tissue is noticed during a colposcopy, then it needs to be biopsied as well. There are a few different ways to do a biopsy. A punch biopsy may be used to remove a small section of the cervix. A LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) is another method to do a biopsy where a thin slice of the cervix is removed. Finally, a conization or cone biopsy may be performed. A cone biopsy removes a thicker section of the cervix, and allows the pathologist to see if malignant cells have invaded underneath the surface. The cone biopsy has the added value of sometimes being able to cure a pre-cancerous lesion that is localized to a small area. Treatments for cervical cancer and pre-cancerous lesions will be discussed further in the next section.
In order to guide treatment and offer some insight into prognosis, cervical cancer is staged into different groups. There are a few different staging systems, but the most popular one for cervical cancer is the FIGO system (International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians). The FIGO system is a clinical staging system which means that the cancer is staged by a doctor's physical examination and the results of a biopsy. The FIGO staging system is for invasive cervical cancers, not pre-cancerous lesions. A simplified version of the FIGO staging system is:
- Stage IA - microscopic cancer confined to the cervix
- Stage IB - cancer visible by the naked eye confined to the cervix
- Stage II - cervical cancer invading beyond the uterus but not to the pelvic wall or lower 1/3 of the vagina
- Stage III - cervical cancer invading to the pelvic wall and/or lower 1/3 of the vagina and/or causing a non-functioning kidney
- Stage IVA - cervical cancer that invades the bladder or rectum, or extends beyond the pelvis
- Stage IVB - distant metastases (spread to other areas of the body such as the lung or liver)
Because the physical exam is so important for staging a cervical cancer, your doctors may want to do the most thorough examination while you are under anesthesia Other times, your doctors will want the results of other radiologic tests to better characterize your specific cancer. Tests like CAT scans (3-D x-rays) or MRIs (like a CAT scans but done with magnets) can examine the cervix and localized lymph nodes. X-rays may be taken of your bones and/or chest. Sometimes, your doctors may want to have a look in your bladder and do a cystoscopy, in which a lighted scope is inserted through your urethra into your bladder. You may get also get a proctosigmoidoscopy, which uses a lighted scope to examine your rectum and colon. Each patient is an individual so the specific tests people get will vary; but overall, your doctors want to know as much about your particular tumor as possible so that they can plan the best available treatments.
What are the treatments for cervical cancer?
Pre-cancerous lesions
Women who have pre-cancerous lesions demonstrated on biopsy after colposcopy have a few different options how to proceed. A woman may decide on a specific option depending on whether or not she plans to have children in the future, her current health status and life expectancy, and her concerns about the future and the possibility of having a cancer come back. You should talk to your doctor about you fears, concerns and preferences. Sometimes, women with low grade lesions may choose to not have any further treatment, especially if the biopsy removed the entire lesion. If you decide to do this, you will need frequent pelvic exams and Pap tests. There are several; different ways to remove pre-cancerous lesions without removing the entire uterus (and thus preserving a woman's ability to have a baby in the future). Women can have cryosurgery (freezing off the abnormal lesion), a LEEP (the same type of electrosurgical procedure used for biopsies), a conization (the thicker type of biopsy that gets tissue under the surface), or have the cells removed with a laser. Your doctor can discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each of these modalities. Women who do not have any plans to have children in the future and are particularly worried about their chances of getting an invasive cancer may elect to have a hysterectomy (a surgery that removes your uterus and cervix). This procedure is much more invasive than any of the previous treatment modalities, but can provide peace of mind to women finished with childbearing.
Surgery is generally only employed in early stage cervical cancers. The purpose of surgery is to remove as much disease as possible, but it usually isn't used unless all of the cancer can be removed at the time of surgery. Cancers that have a high chance of already being in the lymph nodes are not treated with surgery (lymph nodes are small, pea-sized pieces of tissue that filter and clean lymph, a liquid waste product). There are a few different types of surgeries that can be performed. The earliest stage IA tumors can sometimes be treated with only a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus and cervix). Bigger stage IA, stage IB, and occasionally stage IIA tumors can be treated with more extensive hysterectomies coupled with lymphadenectomies (procedures that remove lymph nodes in the pelvis). Depending on the amount of disease, your surgeon may have to remove tissues around the uterus, as well as part of the vagina and the fallopian tubes. One of the benefits of surgery in young women is that sometimes their ovaries can be left, so that they do not go through menopause at an early age. Higher stage disease is usually treated with radiation and chemotherapy, but sometimes surgery is employed if cervical cancer comes back after it has already been treated. A pelvic exenteration is reserved for recurrent cervical cancers. A pelvic exenteration is a major surgery in which the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina, bladder, rectum and part of the colon are removed. This surgery is not commonly employed, but is occasionally used for recurrent cancers.
Radiation therapy has proven very effective in treating cervical cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is another option besides surgery for early stage cervical cancer; and when advanced stage cervical cancer needs to be treated, it is usually done with radiation therapy. Surgery and radiation have been shown to be equivalent treatments for early stage cervical cancers, and radiation helps avoid surgery in patients who are too ill to risk having anesthesia. Radiation has the benefit of being able to treat all of the disease in the radiation field; thus lymph nodes can be treated as well as the primary tumor in the course of the same treatment.
Radiation therapy for cervical cancer either comes from an external source (outside of the patient, known as external beam radiation) or an internal source (inside the patient, known as brachytherapy). External beam radiation therapy requires patients to come in 5 days a week for up 6-8 weeks to a radiation therapy treatment center. The treatment takes just a few minutes, and it is painless. With all cervical cancers above stage IB, the standard approach with radiotherapy is to use external beam radiation coupled with internal brachytherapy. Brachytherapy (also called intracavitary irradiation) allows your radiation oncologist to "boost" the radiation dose to the tumor site. This provides an added impact to the tumor, while sparing your normal tissues. This is done by inserting a hollow, metal tube with two egg shaped cartridges into your vagina. Then a small radioactive source is placed in the tube and cartridges. A computer has calculated how long the source needs to be there, but usually for what is called low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy, you will need to have the source in for a few days. This procedure is done in the hospital, because for those few days you have to remain in bed. Another type of brachytherapy, called high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, uses more powerful sources that only stay in for a few minutes. Although this option usually sounds more appealing to patients, there is debate as to which type is more effective and some institutions favor one over the other. Talk to your radiation oncologist about your options and your doctor's opinions as to HDR versus LDR for cervical cancer treatment.
Another use of radiation is for palliation - meaning that patients with very advanced cases of cervical cancer are treated with the intent of easing their pain or symptoms, rather than trying to cure their disease.
Sometimes, women with early stage are treated with surgery, but after the results of the surgery, it becomes clear that they will need radiation as well. In any setting, radiation is often combined with chemotherapy, and, depending on your case, your doctor will decide on the best possible treatment arrangement for your lifestyle and wishes.
Despite the fact that tumors are removed by surgery or treated with radiation, there is always a risk of recurrence because there may be microscopic cancer cells left in the body. In order to decrease a patient's risk of a recurrence, she may be offered chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer drugs that go throughout the entire body. Practically all patients who are in good medical condition and receiving radiation for stage IIA or higher cervical cancer will be offered chemotherapy in addition to their radiation. It may even be offered for earlier stage cases depending individual aspects of the patient and her disease. There have been many studies that demonstrate the usefulness of adding chemotherapy to radiation in terms of decreasing mortality from cervical cancer.
There are many different chemotherapy drugs, and they are often given in combinations for a series of months. Depending on the type of chemotherapy regimen you receive, you may get medication every week or few weeks; and you usually have to go to a clinic to get the chemotherapy because many of the drugs have to be given through a vein. The most commonly employed regimens use a drug called Cisplatin combined with another medication, typically paclitaxel, topotecan or gemcitabine. Other chemotherapy medications that may be used to treat cervical cancer include: bevacizumab (a targeted therapy), 5-FU, docetaxel, ifosfamide, irinotecan and mitomycin. There are advantages and disadvantages to each of the different regimens that your gynecologic oncologist or medical oncologist will discuss with you. Based on your own health, your personal values and wishes, and side effects you may wish to avoid, you can work with your doctors to come up with the best regimen for your lifestyle.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are extremely important in furthering our knowledge and the treatment of this disease. It is though clinical trials that we know what we do today, and exciting new therapies are always being tested. Talk to your healthcare provider about participating in clinical trials in your area. You can also explore currently open clinical trials using the OncoLink Clinical Trials Matching Service.
Follow-up testing
Once a patient has been treated for cervix cancer, she needs to be closely followed for a recurrence. At first, you will have follow-up visits fairly often. The longer you are free of disease, the less often you will have to go for checkups. Your doctor will tell you when he or she wants follow-up visits, Pap tests, and/ or scans depending on your case. Your doctor will also do pelvic exams regularly during your office visits. It is very important that you let your doctor know about any symptoms you are experiencing and that you keep all of your follow-up appointments.
Cancer survivorship is a relatively new focus of oncology care. With some 13 million cancer survivors in the US alone, there is a need to help patients transition from active treatment to survivorship. What happens next, how do you get back to normal, what should you know and do to live healthy going forward? A survivorship care plan can be a first step in educating yourself about navigating life after cancer and helping you communicate knowledgeably with your healthcare providers. Create a survivorship care plan today on OncoLink.

Around 1909 Lambert painted a number of more deliberately original and unusual images that resist definite explanation. In The shop he used the traditional subject of the artist's studio (the shop or workshop) to construct a highly stylised composition. His subjects were: a professional model dressed as King Edward VII holding his hat to his chest; an artist's lay figure, a life-size doll with articulated joints, not dressed up but nude in its skin of cloth; a seated boy modelled by his son Maurice; Lambert himself in his shirt sleeves; and two meticulously painted still lifes in the foreground, empty vessels and fresh flowers.
About this time Lambert was painting a portrait of King Edward VII in a field-marshal's uniform, working from a model who closely resembled the monarch (and also Lambert) and who presumably posed as the king in this painting.
Lambert blocked in the composition with a thick brush and used fluid paint to sketch
in the background. He then depicted the model for the king and himself in greater detail. He used an essentially monotone palette with splashes of red, blue, yellow and white.
Lambert showed the world as a kind of procession on a shallow stage. His figures are merely actors: they do not relate to or engage with each other.
In presenting this everyday scene in a most unusual fashion he celebrated the artificiality of art. The artist turns his back on his sitters and looks back at himself as much as out at the viewer. He can do so because he does not depict a real king, on whom he would have been unlikely to turn his back, or an actual and seductive nude who might have attracted his attention.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
During the summer and fall of 2003, the United States Forest Service made several improvements in the Lake Canyon area in Huntington Canyon. New toilets were installed, roads were graveled, while other redundant road segments were closed and are in the process of being rejuvenated. With these projects behind them, the forest service began their summer of 2004 projects to tie in with the work that was completed last year.
The forest service planned these projects to protect the natural resources of the forest; to provide for current and future recreation demand; and to provide for public health and safety. The Lake Canyon project began in 2004 with improvements to the road south of Cleveland Reservoir. With a heavy amount of traffic in the area, improvements were needed to enhance the safety of those who use the road.
Fifty four fire rings have also been installed in campsites in the area. These rings not only improve the conditions of cleanliness in the campsites, but also help with fire safety.
During the past few years, ATV use has increased and user created trails were established in places that are not in the best interest of a healthy forest. As a consequence, seven miles of trails that have been created by ATV use in unacceptable areas, have been closed and rehabilitated. To compensate for the loss of those seven miles, nine miles of trails specifically for ATV use, horseback riders, foot traffic, or bicycle use have been constructed in more appropriate areas.
Bill Broadbear of the forest service said, "Alot of use has been created here. The trails are all rated easy and were designed for everybody. Construction here is almost complete for this year. We have Dutch oven fire pans still to install in the group camping spots, and utility and serving tables in the campsites still need to go in.
"This winter, we will purchase the signs for the trail system, and next spring they will be installed along with whatever repair work needs to be done to the trails from the winter storm damage. Our hope is that this area will become a prototype for other camping and high use areas. We hope to move into those areas next year and do the same sort of renovations," said Broadbear.
The new trail system consists of nine miles of trails with five-six trails that directly access camping spots. From those spots access to the trail can be direct without having to use the road. The trail is a two way trail, with three learner's loops that are one-way trails. These loops are creative circuits that teach learner's all aspects of riding. There is also a play area near Cleveland Reservoir for all to enjoy.
All reservoirs in the area, including Huntington Reservoir, Rolfson Reservoir and Cleveland Reservoir can be accessed from this new trail system.
The remainder of the planned work will consist of widening the Miller Flat Road for one half mile south of its junction with U-31. Also, additional work will be done on bridges that have been constructed on the trails. Upon completion of the construction phase, signs will be erected to alert users to the new trail accesses.
With the improvements and increased accessibility, camping fees will be charged beginning in 2005. Along with the fee structure, some of the most popular campsites will become reservable.
During the construction, camping has been allowed with the alert to campers of the added noise and dust from the construction. The project is expected to be completed by the end of September.
There will be workers in the area for anyone who needs more information during this time. Also, for more information, contact the forest service at the Price office at 435-637-2817 or the Ferron office at 435-384-2372.

Get an up-close and personal look at the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math behind Philmont's most popular programs. Specially chosen Rangers, Backcountry, and Conservation Staff will be your guides throughout this 12-day, co-ed trek. Come explore the modern and historical technology used across the ranch while gaining on insider's perspective on how everything really works.
The STEM Trek is an exciting program at Philmont Scout Ranch for Scouts and Venturers who have an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Participants will enjoy a 12-day trek throughout Philmont's 137,493 acres of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains of northeastern New Mexico.
The STEM Trek will offer each participant the chance to explore the Philmont backcountry in a whole new way! Investigate the why and how behind backcountry programs like rifle shooting, blacksmithing and rock climbing. Led by knowledgeable staff, participants will explore modern scientific principles in physics and biology as well as historical examples of technology employed by miners, loggers and homesteaders during the 19th century.
Topics discussed include chemistry, material science, geology and astronomy, with hands-on activities using forestry tools and examining water quality. The experience of working on such a wide array of projects will provide vital knowledge for use at local council camps and managed areas in the participant's community when he or she returns home.
STEM Trek participants will work and hike in crews under the leadership of trained Philmont rangers, many of whom have academic backgrounds in the science, engineering, math and technology, and/or years of experience working in an outdoor classroom. Crews will be composed of young men and young women from all over the United States. All crew equipment such as tents, cooking gear and tools, will be provided by Philmont and all participants will be covered by campers' insurance.
Philmont Scout Ranch covers 215 square miles, with more than 350 miles of trails. Philmont ranges from 6,500 feet to 12,441 feet in elevation above sea level. Because of the remote settings and elevation, participants need to be prepared, both physically and mentally, to handle the challenges of the trek. Philmont experiences a wide variety of weather situations. Participants should be prepared for possible 100 degree days, 40 degree nights, as well as days of rain and even snow. All this adds to the STEM Trek and the Philmont experience.
The participant's unit leader and local council executive must approve only those young adults who meet the qualifications for this program. Philmont is not an easy experience and is a risk for those not physically prepared for the rigors of the New Mexico mountains.
Complete the enclosed application. Apply early for best consideration. Applications will continue to be accepted until all spaces are filled. Have it approved by a parent or guardian, a unit leader and your Scout Executive. Mail your completed application to:
Philmont will notify you of your acceptance. If accepted, a packet of materials will be sent in May to assist you in preparing for your Philmont trek experience.
The fee is for the twelve day experience. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required with this application. The balance of the fee is due at the time of acceptance into the program. Additional expenses, including travel to and from Philmont, as well as miscellaneous purchases, are the responsibility of the participant. Those applicants not accepted will have their deposit returned. Participants canceling acceptance will be eligible for a refund if notification is received at Philmont by May 1. No shows are not eligible for a refund. Scholarship funds are available on a limited basis. See enclosed scholarship application.
Shuttles are available from the Albuquerque, New Mexico and Colorado Springs and Denver, Colorado Airports to Philmont. The shuttles leaves the airport at 1:00 to 3:00 pm, depending on the location, on the day before your scheduled start date, arriving at Philmont at 6:30 to 7:00 pm (approx). The return shuttles leave from 6:00 to 7:30 am on your departure date, arriving at the Airports at 9:45 am to 12:00 noon, depending on location. You may also consider the bus or train arrival at Raton, New Mexico (45 miles from Philmont). A roundtrip shuttle is available from Raton. If you do not arrive by shuttle, plan to arrive at Philmont between 8:00 - 11:00 am on your scheduled start date. The Shuttle information/registration forms will be included in your March packet. Note: Shuttle times may change so please check shuttle registration forms upon receiving them or call Philmont for updated information. The STEM Trek is a twelve (12) day program. Participants depart the morning of the thirteenth (13th) day (August 3 is the departure date).

Leinster are expected to name Cian Healy in their side for the RaboDirect Pro12 clash with Treviso by using a loophole in his ban.
Leinster are expected to name Cian Healy in their side for the RaboDirect Pro12 clash with Treviso by using a loophole in his ban.
Healy was suspended for three weeks on Wednesday, forcing him to miss Ireland's matches against Scotland and France after his ban was deferred for this weekend on the assumption that he would not be selected by Leinster.
However with the suspension not due to start until midnight on Sunday, Leinster believe they are well within their rights to use him against Treviso.
Ireland are yet to make a decision on whether to appeal the suspension.
"Cian is certainly available. (Leinster coach) Jose Schmidt and (Ireland coach) Declan Kidney have talked about the involvement of Test players this weekend," said Leinster forwards coach Jonno Gibbes.
"Cian's available and personally I'd be delighted to involve him, he's a really big asset. He will definitely be considered.
"There's are complications for others maybe, but he's available for us. It's a game in the break of the Six Nations and he's under consideration.
"Nothing is surprising when the rugby judiciary is involved. You have to go in with an open mind because you never know what will come out of it."
The matter is far from clear however as Ireland coach Kidney has been told that the prop is not allowed to play turning the situation into a fiasco.
"Experience has taught us to wait for the written judgment or explanation to come down and we'll take it from there concerning any appeal," said Kidney, who will wait until the written judgement is published before considering an appeal.
"Let's see what's in the judgment.
"It's certainly an option that he could play for Leinster this weekend, but we've been told that he's suspended and he's not allowed to.
"Cian's had a lot going on – a lot goes on with the citings process the way it is. There would certainly be benefit in him playing given everything that's happened.
"We asked the question yesterday whether he could play this weekend and we were told no, he is suspended."

The holiday shopping season offers lessons for children.
Across the USA, the day after Thanksgiving is the first big pre-Christmas shopping day. Some of you stand in line until major stores open their doors, many as early as midnight.
By contrast, our neighbors to the north in Canada observe the first 48 hours after Thanksgiving as "buy nothing" days.
I'm not among those who wait in line for midnight openings. By contrast, I do most of my Christmas shopping on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, when prices have been reduced and the crowds are smaller.
But I think Canadians are crazy to observe "buy nothing" days.
That day was founded in Vancouver by artist Ted Dave who practiced and professed imagination.
Christmas giving is not imagination. It's an expression of appreciation and affection. So my suggestions:
Join the crowds today if you feel like it. Buy but don't overdo or overbuy.
Postpone some of your shopping until Dec. 24, and you'll find better deals.
It's especially important to teach our kids or other younger children that rushing to buy stuff is not the best deal.
If they're given a fixed amount of money for Christmas gifts for family members or friends, you have an opportunity to teach them how to get the most for their money.
The sooner they learn that Santa Claus is make-believe and that it takes family money to buy things for them or their friends, the more realistically they'll live their lives.
They need to understand that Christmas stuff doesn't come from the North Pole. It comes from made at home money.
"One reason jobs move overseas is because we train our kids to be consumers — instead of producers. If a kid has 10 gifts to give, why not buy five and make the other five ... and be a producer as well as a consumer?"
-- Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad"
"Teach children that it's OK to splurge a little, and equally important to help those who are less fortunate. The holiday season is not only about spending; it's about giving as well."
-- Ric Edelman, chairman and CEO Edelman Financial Services
"For more deals but more crowds, shop Dec. 21-23. To avoid the masses but seize the best selection, Nov. 26-29 are the days for you. For most of us, Thanksgiving remains an American tradition — our 'buy nothing' day."
-- Bill Martin, founder, ShopperTrak
"Those hard hit by super storm Sandy will be critically evaluating needs vs. wants and buying pragmatically, while others may rush out to spend beyond their means, in an effort to normalize their children's lives again."
-- Laurie Zelinger, director of the New York Assiciation of Play Therapy

Northampton made it back-to-back victories in the Aviva Premiership after overcoming Exeter 24-21 at Franklin's Gardens on Sunday.
Northampton made it back-to-back wins in the Aviva Premiership with a 24-21 victory over Exeter on Sunday.
Saints claimed all five points from the home fixture thanks to tries from Christian Day, Phil Dowson, Luther Burrell and Dylan Hartley.
A nip-and-tuck first fifteen minutes was halted by Day, who was on the end of a break launched following a wayward kick from Ignacio Mieres.
Ryan Lamb was wide with the conversion, but he was on target with the extras ten minutes later as the visitors added to their lead courtesy of a try from Dowson, which was scored after Lamb had made the initial burst to set up the attack.
The Chiefs had it all to do, but they roared back in the closing stages of the first period to take an unlikely lead with them into the interval.
They got the ball rolling on 30 minutes when great work down the right from Josh Tatupu created the opportunity for Phil Dollman to score. Mieres was on target with the extras, and added two penalties before half-time to make it 13-12 to the Chiefs as the teams headed down the tunnel.
The Chiefs added to their lead with ten minutes of the second half played courtesy of a third penalty from Mieres, but the rest of this contest belonged to the Saints.
Burrell breached the Exeter defence following a sustained period of pressure to put the hosts back in front, and less than ten minutes later they had a cushion.
Hartley completed a neatly worked line-out move to make it 22-16, with replacement Stephen Myler's conversion putting eight points between the sides.
The Chiefs rallied in the closing stages of the game, but, by this stage, time was against them, and, when Matt Jess got over in the corner with seconds remaining following a flowing combination of passes, it was little more than consolation at the Gardens.

For Northampton:
Tries: Day, Dowson, Burrell, Hartley
Con: Lamb, Myler
For Exeter:

Danielle Frank Photography
Hello and welcome to daniellefrankphotography.com!
I'm Danielle, owner & girl behind the lens :)
I'm pretty quiet until you get to know me and I feel pretty weird writing about myself here...I mean, I could sit here and write quirky little details about myself. Or I could tell you about my family. But I won't - partially because I feel weird talking about myself to myself (while I type this) and partially because I'd rather you get to know me by meeting me - and not just reading what I awkwardly type out here.
So, instead, I will tell you about what drives me and what that means for you.
My passion is and always has been pictures. I love thumbing through old photographs, reminiscing about the memories they bring back. I love seeing my parents as little children - as who they were then, before I knew them. I have albums upon albums meticulously organized in chronological order of all the pictures I've taken - from grade school until now. Have I mentioned how much I love photographs?
I believe in the memories that photographs preserve. I believe those memories are priceless. I believe that photographs are a time-capsule. They capture us, as who we are - in that moment in time. They are to be cherished and reflected on often.
Time passes so quickly. Our children grow and memories fade. But images? Those images are forever. Forever reminding you of your toddlers silly smile. Of her shy eyes. Of your newborns wrinkled toes. Of how it felt to cuddle your small child. Of how your tiny child looked into your eyes. Of how they've grown. Images are so, so important.
So, what does this mean for you? That I will capture you, as you are. The way you and your family interact. The love you and your husband share. The anticipation you have in meeting your new baby. I will preserve these precious moments for you.
Thank you for considering me to be such an important part of your life.

Dear Editor,
Senator Hatch recently held hearings on an important issue facing consumers and our economy - patent reform. Patent reform is not an issue that normally generates a great deal of attention but our patent system and our commitment to intellectual property protection are at the heart of our success in the global economy. Patent protection is particularly important for small businesses and individual investors who rely on patents to protect their inventions.
The hearings rightly focused on how we can ensure that the Patent and Trademark Office is properly funded by ending the diversion of fees and ensuring that all patent application fees are used to fund the office. Additionally, the committee focused on the critical issue of global piracy of American goods.
Patents and intellectual property protection are critical to the technology industry, consumers and the economy and Sen. Hatch has done the right thing by playing a leadership role on this issue.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The final walk through of the new public safety complex took place on July 18. Sheriff Lamar Guymon, Commissioner Randy Johnson along with other officers and county officials toured the facility with Todd Kitchen and Jay Bunker from Sahara, the contractor on the project.
The tour began in the lobby area, Kitchen said, "We were able to include $100,000 worth of add ons to the project already with cost savings and will have a little more to add."
The tour continued to the dispatch room. The cameras were checked and the control panel which opens and closes the doors. A safeguard in the system will not open another door until the door behind is closed. Officers working in dispatch will remain on shift for 12 hours, the dispatch center is locked and the windows will be tinted. They will leave the dispatch center only for breaks and meals. Information is passed back and forth with a window similar to a bank teller's drive up window.
Kitchen said they will be adding little antennas on the walls so that the officers cell phones will continue to work within the jail. The new facility boasts ample office space with a bullet proof window in the lobby. The lobby area will be a receiving area for visitors to the facility. Any suspects arriving at the jail are taken immediately into the sallyport, which is like a large garage with huge doors which immediately lock when the police vehicle enters. The suspect is moved to a booking area where a camera will take their picture. The jail has two holding tanks.
In addition to the large office area there will now be adequate office space for the deputies, sergeants and detectives. The facility has a break room, weight room, conference room, evidence room, record room, medical-first-aid room and numerous other rooms with various uses. There is also a room which serves as an education room for the inmates. They receive rehabilitation, can go to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and anger management classes. They can learn about computers and learn life skills. A physician's assistant from the medical clinic will come to the jail facility once a week to see anyone in need of medical care.
The facility has a state of the art kitchen facility. Detective Bill Downard will be trained in the use of all the new equipment in the kitchen as well as the laundry room. The inmates in the past have done their own laundry and cooking and will continue to do so.
The facility has 80 beds and will house female inmates as well, a capability the old jail does not have. Sheriff Guymon said, "We spend approximately $2-3,000 a month with other facilities in housing our female inmates. It will be a cost savings to us. Currently the females have to go to Richfield or to Carbon."
The inmate portion of the facility has a commons-social area where they eat their meals. A television and games are also available. There is an outdoors enclosed play area with a net over the top so nothing can be thrown over the wall and down into the area where the prisoners are.
The walkthrough included a tour of each room of the facility to see if items on the punch list had been fixed adequately as well as to look for any other problems or areas of concern. The major area of concern was in the sallyport area. The concrete has cracked due to expansion. There weren't enough expansion joints cut in the large areas of concrete. Kitchen said when the ping test was done the concrete tested at 5,500 psi which is really good. It meets the required 3,500 psi. So, the concrete is hard concrete and will hold up, the integrity of the concrete didn't seem to be in question, but the aesthetic quality had been jeopardized. Kitchen suggested a concrete expert come and take a look to see what he thinks and inform the commissioners and the municipal building authority of his findings. It was agreed that the problem would be looked into further.
An anticipated move-in date will be after the county fair and the pageant; possibly in September. The most important item left to be completed will be the installation of the communications tower. Having the communications system up and running will precede the move. Also everything in dealing with the inmates must be in order before a move can take place.
Sheriff Guymon said, "I am really pleased with the facility. The workmanship is very good and the design is excellent. It will be the newest jail in the state. It will improve the working conditions for our officers. It will make things safer for the officers and for the inmates. We will be able to segregate inmates, which we haven't been able to do before. We will be able to separate those with felony charges from those with misdemeanor charges, which will make it safer for the inmates as well. The school programs we will introduce will be a benefit to the inmates.
"The working conditions for the officers will improve 100 percent. Right now, they don't have any private space to work on their reports or the other things they need to do. The new offices will be a great benefit to them. Overall we are very satisfied with the new facility," said Sheriff Guymon.
