"Castle Dale City has advertised for volunteers to serve on the equestrian center advisory board," said Castle Dale Mayor Neal Peacock. "This is not a paid position and their job is to advise Councilman Joel Dorsch concerning the operation of the center."
Mayor Peacock also stated their job is not to administrate or legislate, they are to give opinions on the success of the operation and make suggestions as to how it may better serve the users of the facility. "The main purpose of this advisory board is two fold. Number one is to note the positive happenings at the equestrian center. The second is to give suggestions and solutions," said Mayor Peacock.
Eight applications were received by the city, and that is exactly the number the mayor was considering for the board. It was decided to appoint all those who submitted applications. The members of the new advisory committee for the Blue Sage Arena in Castle Dale are: Clinton Price; Chris Nielsen, Randy Magnuson, Ron Fausett, Amy Adams, Dan Whiteleather, Kevin Gordon; and Derri Jewkes.

How do I apply for aid?
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
To receive financial aid, you must first complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available online, or you may request a paper copy by calling 800-4-FED-AID.
When filling out your application, you will be asked for UDM's school code:
- For undergraduate, graduate, dental hygiene and post-degree students, it is 002323.
- For School of Law students, it is E00392.
- For School of Dentistry students it is E01403.
Answer the questions honestly and to the best of your ability. You may find it helpful to use the Student Aid Reference Sheet, created by the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA). Additionally, NASFAA offers guides with tips for completing your FAFSA if you have a unique situation that makes it difficult to answer the questions.
Finished with your FAFSA? Learn more about what happens next.
Additional information regarding question 23
If you fill out your FAFSA online and answer "yes" to question 23, you will be asked to answer a series of questions to determine your eligibility.
Similarly, if you fill out a paper copy of the application and answer yes to question 23, you will receive a worksheet with a series of questions along with your Student Aid Report. You must complete the questions to determine whether the conviction affects your eligibility to receive federal student aid.
- If the date you regain eligibility falls before July 1 of the current year, the worksheet will instruct you to change your response to a "1," indicating full eligibility for the award year.
- If the date falls between July 1 of the current year and June 30 of the next year, you are only eligible for part of the award year, and must change your response to a "2."
- If the date falls after June 30 of the next year, your response remains a "3," and you are not eligible for federal student aid during the entire award year unless you complete a qualified drug rehabilitation program.
Students convicted of federal or state offenses related to selling or possessing illegal drugs that occurred while they were receiving federal student aid should still complete and submit the FAFSA because they may still be eligible for financial aid, and even if they aren't, they may qualify for state or institutional aid.
Students who leave question 23 blank cannot be paid Title IV aid until they respond by submitting a corrected SAR or ISIR.Student Convicted of the Possession or Sale of Drugs
(Source: 2009-2010 Federal Student Aid Handbook, Volume 1: Student Eligibility)
If the student was convicted of both possessing and selling illegal drugs, and the periods of ineligibility are different, the student will be ineligible for the longer period A federal or state drug conviction can disqualify a student for FSA funds.
Convictions only count if they were for an offense that occurred during a period of enrollment for which the student was receiving Title IV aid; they do not count if the offense was not during such a period. Also, a conviction that was reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record does not count, nor does one received when she was a juvenile, unless she was tried as an adult.
The chart below illustrates the period of ineligibility for FSA funds, depending on whether the conviction was for sale or possession and whether the student had previous offenses (a conviction for sale of drugs includes convictions for conspiring to sell drugs).
|Possession of Illegal Drugs
|Sale of Illegal Drugs
|1st Offense
|1 year from date of conviction
|2 years from date of conviction
|2nd Offense
|2 years from date of conviction
|Indefinite period
|3rd+ Offense
|Indefinite period
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) established the requirement for schools to provide each student who becomes ineligible for Title IV aid due to a drug conviction a clear and conspicuous written notice of his loss of eligibility and the methods whereby he can become eligible again.
A student regains eligibility the day after the period of ineligibility ends or when he successfully completes a qualified drug rehabilitation program. Further drug convictions will make him ineligible again. Students denied eligibility for an indefinite period can regain it only after successfully completing a rehabilitation program as described below or if a conviction is reversed, set aside, or removed from the student's record so that fewer than two convictions for sale or three convictions for possession remain on the record. In such cases, the nature and dates of the remaining convictions will determine when the student regains eligibility. It is the student's responsibility to certify to the school that he/ she has successfully completed the rehabilitation program.
When a student regains eligibility during the award year, schools can award Pell, Academic Competitiveness Grant, National SMART,TEACH, and Campus-based aid for the current payment period and Direct and FFEL loans for the period of enrollment.
Standards for a qualified drug rehabilitation program
A qualified drug rehabilitation program must include at least two unannounced drug tests and must satisfy at least one of the following requirements:
- Be qualified to receive funds directly or indirectly from a federal, state, or local government program.
- Be qualified to receive payment directly or indirectly from a federally or state-licensed insurance company.
- Be administered or recognized by a federal, state, or local government agency or court.
- Be administered or recognized by a federally or state-licensed hospital, health clinic, or medical doctor.

When they were courting, Mark and Laura Manner decided that they wanted to raise children in a quiet, slow-paced rural neighborhood.
FROSTPROOF | When they were courting, Mark and Laura Manner decided that they wanted to raise children in a quiet, slow-paced rural neighborhood. Nine years ago, what they saw as a great opportunity arose and they left the noise and traffic of Clearwater for the laid-back atmosphere of Mark's hometown, Frostproof.
The peace they've found, they feel, is now threatened after the City Council voted to allow a tearoom to be built directly across the street from their home.
Since the beginning of August, the Manners and a few other residents have walked the streets of their neighborhood protesting the tearoom. Signs were placed in front yards; the Manners' garage door is now emblazoned with large blue and red letters that read, "no residential tearoom."
The monthslong process of approving the tearoom has left the Manners and other opponents somewhat bewildered and questioning whether city officials really care about their concerns.
In June, when the planning and zoning board first took up the issue of a tearoom, opponents immediately challenged whether board member Wesley Wise should vote. The issue was whether to rezone six parcels commercial. Wise, a real estate agent, works for Keystone Realty, the company that had the listing for the house at 15 C Street, the property that Vickie Barron and Kathy Mulvaney wanted to convert to a tearoom, and the adjacent lot.
Wise initially agreed he had a conflict of interest and recused himself from voting. A motion to recommend the City Council rezone the parcels commercial — but not the home at 15 C St. — ended in a tie; Wise broke the tie by voting in favor of the motion.
Wise said he decided to break the tie since he did not think a conflict was present even though Keystone Realty has the listing on one of the lots involved. After the issue with Wise's vote, Sarah Adelt, Frostproof's City Clerk contacted Grayden Schafer, senior attorney for the Florida Commission on Ethics, about a potential voting conflict. Schafer responded in an email that a conflict did indeed exist with 15 C St. Adelt's email made no mention of the adjacent lot.
At that same meeting, Laura Manner and other residents of C Street voiced their concerns.
"I don't know if I really want to live in Frostproof if, you know, something like that happened," said Carmen Hood who also lives directly across from the proposed tearoom, "where I look outside and I have a business across the street."
When the proposal reached the City Council two weeks later, the council took no action. But they agreed with City Attorney Mark Smith's suggestion of approving a conditional use permit, allowing a commercial business inside a residential area if specific conditions are met.
However, there was no definition for a tearoom in the city's ordinances.
It was then decided that an amendment be made to the city's code to include a definition of a tearoom, in which case the council could potentially grant a permit for the tearoom at 15 C St.
The issue of defining a tearoom went back to the planning board, which met on June 30. The board approved a definition for tearoom as a "low-impact eatery located in close proximity to major roadways while being compatible with adjacent residential properties, typically serving non-alcoholic beverages, sandwiches and light fare."
Residents said they began to feel as if the City Council had made up its mind and that getting the tearoom was a "done deal" with City Hall doing all it could to get the approval.
"I'm just starting to get the weirdest feeling inside that it doesn't matter what the citizens, the residents, want on the street," Hood said at the meeting. "Whatever it takes, that tearoom will be put on our street."
Ralph Waters, a member of the Frostproof City Council, said he hadn't made up his mind until the very end and that it was not an easy decision to make. He also said the tearoom was not a "done deal."
"I can almost assuredly tell you it wasn't," Waters said. "I know it wasn't from my perspective."
The council voted to add the definition of tearoom to the city's code on July 21.
Barron and Mulvaney are not Frostproof residents, but Barron attends the First Christian Church of Frostproof and has an affinity for the city. They previously tried to put a tearoom in Lake Wales, also in a residential area. But after residents complained and the Lake Wales planning board refused to rezone the area, the two decided not to pursue the issue further.
They felt Frostproof would also be a good fit for their business.
"When you walk down the street it's so quaint and peaceful," Barron said. "The people are really friendly and I can see so many possibilities."
They acknowledge the neighbors' concerns and say they are actually thankful getting approval took so many steps.
"There were some legitimate concerns and because of the process we were able to resolve them," Barron said.
Mulvaney and Barron met with some of the neighbors to discuss the issues and try to address them. One issue was traffic flow. They changed their plans so that customers leaving the tearoom's parking lot would only be able to make a right turn, leading them to State Road 17 and not farther into the neighborhood.
"We don't want to open a business in an area that's hostile," Mulvaney said. "We came out of that series of meetings feeling that the majority of residents had their concerns resolved."
Still, Laura Manner said she personally spoke with no fewer than 25 people who opposed the tearoom, including four of the five families who live on the street directly across from it.
Mulvaney and Barron feel that enough residents have changed their stance on the tearoom for them to be comfortable moving forward.
Manners and other residents questioned why the tearoom couldn't be placed in one of the vacant buildings downtown, like the Women's Club.
"We want a tearoom in a historic house," Barron said. "Just a commercial building doesn't have the same feel or ambience."
Residents also worried that having the tearoom would invite more businesses wanting to locate in residential areas.
"When you set a precedent of putting a business there, even with a conditional use, it invites the possibility of more businesses being in a residential area," Manner said.
On Aug. 7, properties within 300 feet of 15 C Street received a notice about a planning and zoning board hearing to take place 11 days later to grant a conditional use permit for the tearoom. One "for sale" sign went up on C Street that day.
At the hearing, tensions were once again high. Many residents came out to support the idea of a tearoom, expressing the opinion that it could bring visitors to Frostproof and provide a positive economic impact.
"We need more businesses. We are pushing our young people away," said Anne Cash. "Think about the economy. I understand the residents' concern. These are going to be subdued personalities who appreciate a little bit of class and something new coming into the community."
Members of the Frostproof Chamber of Commerce also expressed their support.
"I'm amazed at all this furor over the tearoom," said Bob Goering, the chamber's vice-president. "It's an economic plus."
Still, other residents remained adamant about their concerns, ultimately expressing that they were not against the idea of a tearoom, they just did not want one in a residential area.
Jean Bennett, who lives near the proposed site would love to see a tearoom in Frostproof, she just wants to see it somewhere else.
"Downtown is gasping for business," Bennett said.
During the hearing, the planning and zoning board failed to pass a motion recommending the City Council grant a conditional use permit for 15 C St. to open a tearoom. At the City Council meeting directly after, council members voted unanimously for the permit to be granted.
Despite the apparent division among residents, Waters said he felt the tide had turned to favor the tearoom and that it would be good for Frostproof.
"I feel like this is for the greater good for the community," Waters said after the meeting. "Sometimes we just have to put our individual preferences aside."
According to the conditional use permit, if the business is unsuccessful, the house will revert back to a residential property. If the ownership changes hands, the permit will remain in effect unless the new owner makes any changes to the property. The permit goes to the land, not the owner.
"I hope as we progress that we as a community can work together again," said Waters, "for the greater good."
The Manners have filed an appeal, anticipating that the conditional use permit cannot be acted upon while there is an existing appeal.
But City Attorney Smith said they filed with a board that appeals building inspector's decisions, not planning and zoning.
"She appealed to the wrong board," Smith said. "It's an ineffective appeal. It doesn't stop anything."

Seattle is the Future of Fast
by Kyle Whelliston
In 1969, the 11th and most recent time Seattle University reached the NCAA tournament, it was one of nine independent schools in a 34-team bracket. There were 24 automatic bids, and only in very rare circumstances was a league's second-place team invited. So the 19-7 Chieftains played for the national title, and cross-state Pac-8 affiliate Washington State (an 18-8 team with two league losses to UCLA) didn't. Things were different back then. It was almost better not to have a conference affiliation at all, especially if you were stuck behind the Bruin dynasty.
In 2010, an independent would have to go undefeated like Boise State football to make the Big Dance. Nowadays, there are bubble debates, selection shows, and space phones built by Robots that "tweet" game scores--whatever that means. The SuperSonics, the professional franchise that split local interest, is gone. The Sea-Tac aerospace industry, whose collapse was blamed on the university's dwindling enrollment in the late 1970s, is back. Now returning as the Redhawks, Seattle U. is back in Division I after nearly three decades away due to a voluntarily downgraded athletic program. It's trapped inside a world it never made. It's like all those movies: one minute you're slinging health food, and the next thing you know you're trying to steal a nose to stop the Aires Project.
Seattle is in its third year as a transitional D-I program, and will be eligible to return to the NCAA tournament again for the first time in 2013. It's been an interesting ride. In the program's D-I exploratory season of 2008-09, the Redhawks beat Cal State Bakersfield 78-54 on February 16, which was the largest margin of victory for a D-II school over a homestanding D-I in 15 years. (Seattle made it a point to run up the score, tallying 13 points in the final minute.)
Head coach Joe Callero left for Cal Poly the summer before Seattle became an official RPI counter, and in came former Washington assistant Cameron Dollar. In 2009-10, Seattle U. produced the national leader in points per 40 minutes (28.8) in Charles Garcia, won eight of their last nine to rally towards a 17-14 winning record (a rarity for an independent, especially one that plays 17 road games), and beat Oregon State 99-48 in Corvallis on January 6. On that night the veracity of the score-tweeting Robots was second-guessed--a lot.
The Redhawks made their interestingness statement early this year, playing the first 100-possession regulation game of the 2010-11 season--on the very first night. On Monday in College Park, Seattle pulled 76 points out of 101 possessions in 40 minutes (0.74 ppp), and lost to Maryland 105-76 because they shot 28-for-77 from the floor. Considering that there were only three 100-possession regulation games among the 5,775 played last year, that is definitely "of note."
at Seton Hall 134, Virginia Military Institute 107 12/12/2009 100
at Tennessee 99, North Carolina A&T 78 12/23/2009 100
at Washington 123, Seattle 76 1/26/2010 106
There are some very specific ingredients of a 100-possession game: a rewired core belief that the shot clock expires at 28, hard pressure defense, and pure kamikaze nuttiness. The Redhawks forced 29 turnovers and took 15 more shots than the Terrapins did. Those kind of numbers recall the recent efforts of another DelMarVa team, one that appears on the above list.
Virginia Military Institute has finished either first or second in possessions per 40 minutes in each of the last four seasons, breaking numerous NCAA records along the way. The Keydets reached two Big South title games, but fell to 10-19 last year (5-13 Big South). VMI is a military college with rigid admissions and a strict cadet code, and when Duggar Baucom's system works well, it's because of a very military sum-of-parts gestalt.
But the Redhawks, the second-fastest team in the country last season at 81.2 possessions per 40, seem to have taken the concept and applied an evolution: secondary recruiting. Garcia was originally a Washington signee during Dollar's days there, but fell to the Redhawks as a partial qualifier. He's playing pro ball in Turkey now, just like Allen Iverson. Freshman Mark McLaughlin was a Baylor Bear for a few minutes. Clarence Trent, an incoming sophomore forward who will be eligible next season, was also a Husky. Dollar has hardly anything to offer these players. No NCAA tournament, no nationwide media coverage, and very few home games at KeyArena, where the green and gold ghosts roam. Just the chance to run until their eyes pop out, and to put up a lot of weird stats.
Karma is too vague and relative a concept to be measured with tempo-free tools. But the upper corner of the Pacific Northwest has been blessed with some fantastic and intriguing hoops ever since the Sonics left. There's U-Dub's Sweet 16 appearance, of course, and the 2010 WNBA championship won by Sue Bird, Lauren Jackson and the rest of the lovely, talented butt-kickers of the Storm. Seattle U.'s next NCAA shot is years away, and it may come as part of a reconstituted WAC, or even out of the West Coast Conference, where the school once spent a few years in the 1970s. But the city should keep a place in its heart for the Redhawks... and so too should those of us far-flung folks who live the tempo-free lifestyle.

Take a peek at some nice ink. Tatt Book: Visionaries of Tattoo.
Tatt Book: Visionaries of Tattoo is finally here! The tattoo tome was curated by my friend, Joseph Ari Aloi aka JK5 with a forward by Paper Magazine's and man-about-town, Carlo McCormick.
Aloi is an amazing tattoo artist and a visual artist as well. It is hard to have a friend, who does such amazing work, if you are like me and can never decide on an actual image for a tattoo (I suffer terribly from food envy too). But the photos in this book may actually inspire me to finally get one.

Superthis is possibly the best brush ive ever owned! provides great tension to get your hair really straight and the boar bristles make hair super shiny. i ordered the smallest diameter and have chin length, wavy, medium textured hair. i had already styled my hair for the day but tried the brush on my dry, styled hair with just the blow dryer. i was shocked that it pulled out the curl from the previous styling i had done and made my hair straight. plus it feels wonderful to your scalp. i have now ordered a larger diameter brush for my daughter who has medium length hair.Jul 31, 2009DbrantleyHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Medium Hair

Disappointed -- Returned It.I was disappointed in this brush. Its very lightweight, which I thought would be good -- but the brush feels cheap. I have thick, medium-short hair and I had trouble getting it to straighten. But, the main problem was that I didnt like the way the brush felt.Jun 19, 2009Ls

The Most Perfect Brush!!This wondeful brush helps you blow dry your hair as it helps you by grabbing every single little hair out of your head, i was a little skeptical since i own this "great ones" but i am sooo convinced that this is the only brush you need for blow drying your hair super straightJun 16, 2009Vanessa

The Holy Grail Of Hair Brushes!!!This is the best brush I have ever used on my hair, which is thick, course, extremely difficult to manage, and as a consequence, is usually worn in a pony tail. I just had such a bad hair cut that my hair didnt even look good in a pony tail -- the tell tale sign of the worst kind of cut -- and I was desperate for a miracle. After reading the two other reviews of this brush I had a vision and was inspired. I purchased the 3" brush and awaiting its arrival, had my hair cut again (for $19.00 at Supercuts by someone who had nothing to prove) in a clean, straight, shoulder-length line. Folica was great about shipping They made the two day deadline even though the package left the warehouse late by shipping the package in one day and I was thrilled to receive it at my doorstep on Christmas Eve. Well the brush proved to be the miracle I was seeking because the look Im able to achieve with it is comparable to the polished results of a professional blow out, and this is clearly a first for me. Dont hesitate if youre in need of this little tool but on the fence; you wont be disappointed.Dec 28, 2008Melanie / CA

Perfect Brush!I have shoulder-length thick, wavy-curly hair and have never found the perfect brush that will hold it tight to provide the tension to pull some of the curl out. Ive also always had problems finding a brush that would actually penetrate and grab all the hair; this ones long stiff fiber bristles surrounded by boar bristles does it! As another reviewer mentioned, its not for the short haired person, as the brush can really scratch your head if youre too aggressive. Just ordered two more for my travel kit and to keep at my guy-friends house.Dec 24, 2008AnonymousHAIR TYPECurly Hair / Long Hair

The Best Round Brush EverThis is the only round brush I have ever used which actually grips my hair. Most round brushes have bristles which are too short or too soft for my curly thick hair. I have never before been able to blow dry my hair with a round brush. But this brush is the best ever. The mix of natural and nylon bristles is good for detangling while pulling the hair straight. Its nice and lightweight and has a nice feel on the scalp. It is absolutely worth the price.Dec 4, 2008Jennifer

Very Powerful BrushThis is a very intense brush. Good for LONG, unruly hair.I would NOT use this brush on short or thin hair.I bought the 35mm size, and it was way too much for my just-above-the-shoulder length hair.If your hair is long, thick and out of control, this is the brush for you. However, if your hair is above the shoulder, then stick with a smaller size (under 35mm).Jul 24, 2008Rina / MD

Product Review For The 35mm Barrelconsidering i have THICK, coarse, and very curly hair, i needed a brush that would have the proper tenacity on my hair along with being fairly gentle on it. well, i had been looking for a great round brush for a while now, and finally I found this one. it didnt have any reviews on it at the time, but I decided to take a chance on it anyway. i really like this brush! its lightweight, and it glides through my ultra curly hair very well after only about 3 pulls. The combination of the boar and porcupine bristiles feels really great too and my hair feels SO soft after i finish each section. my blowout techniques (such as avoiding excess volume) still have room for improvement, but im sure theyll look much better over time as long as im using this brush.Jul 11, 2008Colleen R / Philadelphia, PAHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair

Fast shipping of part. It was great to see that individual parts are available for these units. The gas inlet was damaged on my L10 and although I did not need the whole assembly I was happy to be able to change it out.

This product works as it should. This whole episode has been an enormous education for me, and I like that. This unit is actually very simple, once you study it, and I would think maintenance would be a minimum over the course of the units lifetime, what ever that may be.
Using video for diagnosis is an excellent tool.

Posted by Dwight Class on 9th Jan 2014
I was fighting a high electric bill on an older rented trailer, I use the L10 unit on a 40# propane tank to heat water for washing clothes and dishes. I mounted the L10 on a two wheel had truck, hook up 10 feet of hose to the 40# tank and a garden hose. Unit puts out enough heat that I did not need to adjust the cold water setting. Thanks
Posted by Unknown on 19th Aug 2013
Great service and a quality part for the price. Thanks for making a great product.
Posted by Philip on 19th Aug 2013
The L10 is a robustly designed heater. We use it for our outdoor shower with some quick release fittings (on the water side) so the user can simply turn on the water (right at the heater) and enjoy a warm shower. The unit is fairly lightweight and easy to mount for seasonal use. Over winter storage is simple.

Bare Traps are great shoes
"This is my 5th pair of Bare Traps. I had to finally retire one pair, so I bought these to rotate out another pair for around the house. I cannot walk in flat shoes all day, I need a slight heel.These are perfect, snug at first, but will give to make a more perfect fit.Thank you DSW for carrying this brand of shoe."

Love These Bear Traps
"I love 'em. I must get another pair. This is the first, the only sandal with this between the toe strap that I have ever been able to wear. The thing between the toes always hurts as soon as I walk across the room 5 steps or so. BUT, this shoe is stable on the foot and does not slide and force the strap to dig at my skin. Instead, they are soft and small with this awesome wrap over the big toe that provide stability so the foot does not slide around in the shoe. I have many pairs of Bear Traps boot and sandals. This pair I am wearing with dresses and skirts, jeans and shorts. I am seeing no wear and tear but to be sure I have a pair for many years, I am buying another brown and a black pair too. I wish this shoe came in other colors, like pewter, gold, tan or white. I might buy a pair in every color bear Trap would make in this Jump Out Wedge! Love 'em and wish the summer last longer in my area. But the shoes are going south of the border this fall and I will get to wear them everyday of the trip."

By PATSY STODDARD
A coal symposium was held in Castle Dale on Oct. 24. A variety of topics were covered including the use of booster fans. Professor Mike Nelson from the University of Utah mining engineering department was the first presenter. He said the number of students they have in mining engineering is up to 108 students. The university will soon have a masters degree certification and they are working on that at the current time. Nelson said well controlled booster fans can lead to better ventilation in coal mines. Booster fans are used regularly in the United Kingdom and in Australian mines. Their studies have been working towards developing procedures for risk hazards so NIOSH can go to the Mine Safety and Health Administration and provide data so regulations regarding booster fans can be changed.
Monitoring equipment is installed with the booster fans. If the main fan shuts down then the booster fans would automatically shut down. In Australia they have automatic shutoffs, but in the United Kingdom, they don't rely on an automatic shutoff. They have a person who would control the fan and shut it down. This is done to avoid recirculation of bad gases or to avoid adding air if there was a fire. Nelson said they have been around the world studying these fans throughout the United States, Europe and Australia. The booster fans are smaller than main fans. Booster fans result in saving energy. In the research papers locations are looked at for placing booster fans. Each mine is different. Often a trial and error basis is used for their location. Booster fans work to provide additional air for the long wall.
Tests have been conducted at the University of Utah and at the Missouri experimental mine. All the testing will allow the set-up of procedural guidelines in mine ventilation. Students have also been taken out to mines for field trips to learn about mine ventilation. Nelson thanked the local mine operators that allow the students into their mines so they can learn. They also learned about roof support and soil testing.
Stan Perkes spoke about federal coal cost recovery. He talked about competitive leases and lease modifications. When leases come up there is a fair market value estimate, BLM NEPA review, lease stipulations, bond estimates, fair market value hearings and the notice of sale must be listed in the local newspaper. Procedures for lease modifications are similar. Within the logical mining unit the diligence requirement is mining 1 percent of the reserve each year. There are also rules for lease relinquishments. It must be advertised that they are removing land from their logical mining unit. Perkes asked mining companies that they submit a cost recovery at the same time they ask for lease relinquishment because this can avoid problems at a later date. Lease relinquishments require the tracking of any hazardous materials and an approval to leave any mining equipment within the area.
Professor Nelson presented research done by the University of Utah in mapping out the locations and timing of seismic events before and after the Crandall Canyon mine disaster.
The study has identified hundreds of previously unrecognized small aftershocks that happened after Utah's deadly Crandall Canyon mine collapse in 2007. The aftershocks suggest the collapse was as big, and perhaps bigger, than shown in another study by the university in 2008.
Mapping out the locations of the aftershocks "helps us better delineate the extent of the collapse at Crandall canyon. It's gotten bigger," says Tex Kubacki, a University of Utah master's student in mining engineering.
"We can see now that, prior to the collapse, the seismicity was occurring where the mining was taking place, and that after the collapse, the seismicity migrated to both ends of the collapse zone," including the mine's west end, he adds.
Six coal miners died in the Aug. 6, 2007 mine collapse, and three rescuers died 10 days later. The mine's owner initially blamed the collapse on an earthquake, but the University of Utah Seismograph Stations said it was the collapse itself, not an earthquake, that registered on seismometers.
A 2008 study by University of Utah seismologist Jim Pechmann found the epicenter of the collapse was near where the miners were working, and aftershocks showed the collapse area covered 50 acres, four times larger than originally thought, extending from crosscut 120 on the east to crosscut 143 on the west, where miners worked. A crosscut is a north-south tunnel intersecting the mine's main east-west tunnels.
In the new study, the collapse area "looks like it goes farther west, to the full extent of the western end of the mine, Kubacki says.
Study co-author Michael "Kim" McCarter, a University of Utah professor of mining engineering, says the findings are tentative, but "might extend the collapse farther west." He is puzzled because "some of that is in an area where no mining had occurred."
Kubacki says one theory is that the seismic events at the west end and some of those at the eastern end of the mine may be caused by "faulting forming along a cone of collapse" centered over the mine.
Kubacki and McCarter conducted the new study with seismologists Keith Koper and Kris Pankow of the University of Utah Seismograph Stations. McCarter and Pankow also coauthored the 2008 study.
Before the new study, researchers knew of about 55 seismic events - down to magnitude 1.6 - near the mine before and after the collapse, which measured 3.9 on the local magnitude scale and 4.1 on the "moment" magnitude scale that better reflects energy release, Kubacki says.
The new study analyzed records of seismometers closest to the mine for evidence of tremors down to magnitudes minus-1, which Kubacki says is about one-tenth the energy released by a hand grenade. He found: Strong statistical evidence there were at least 759 seismic events before the mine collapse and 569 aftershocks. Weak evidence there were as many as 1,022 seismic events before the collapse and 1,167 aftershocks.
"We've discovered up to about 2,000 previously unknown events spanning from July 26 to Aug. 30, 2007," Kubacki says, although some of the weak-evidence events may turn out not to be real or to be unrelated to the collapse.
The seismic events found in the new study show tremors clustered in three areas: the east end of the collapse area, the area where miners were working toward the mine's west end, and - new in this study - at the mine's west end, beyond where miners worked.
"We have three clusters to look at and try to come up with an explanation of why there were three," McCarter says. "They are all related to the collapse."
Some of the tremors in the eastern cluster are related to rescue attempts and a second collapse that killed three rescuers, but some remain unexplained, he adds.
Kubacki says most of the seismic activity before the collapse was due to mining, although scientists want to investigate whether any of those small jolts might have been signs of the impending collapse. So far, however, "there is nothing measured that would have said, 'Here's an event [mine collapse] that's ready to happen," McCarter says.
Kubacki came up with the new numbers of seismic events by analyzing the records of seismometers closest to Crandall Canyon (about 12 miles away). "We took the known seismic events already in the catalog and searched for events that looked the same," he adds. "These new events kept popping up. There are tiny events that may show up on one station but not network-wide."
"Any understanding we can get toward learning how and why mine collapses happen is going to be of interest to the mining community," Kubacki says. McCarter adds: "We are looking at the Crandall Canyon event because we have accurate logs and very extensive seismic data, and that provides a way of investigating the data to see if anything could be applied to other mines to improve safety."
Nelson said his graduate students are studying seismic research from Trail Mountain to determine mining's effects on Joe's Valley. One student is also researching with satellite imagery a 2009 large seismic event in Wyoming. Imagery before and after the event are being evaluated. The equipment for detection and recording of events has become highly advanced over the years.
Some mines have seismic monitoring and that can be very useful.
The next presentation was the possibility of using abandoned long wall sections as water storage resources. Those doing the presentation included David Merrell, Ryan Egbert and Dr. Rollin Hotchkiss. They did a study during a four month period. They studied Sufco mine and the possibility of Emery Town using the long wall as a water storage facility. After mining has occurred there is a void space approximately 80 percent. Water can be pumped into the reservoir or you can wait for a natural recharge. With underground storage there is no evaporation issues and no sediment problems and it is low cost without the high costs of constructing an above ground reservoir. The presenters said this method is used at the Alta mine where the water is piped to the town from the mine. The water treatment facility is located within the mine.
The idea needs further research to examine any risks involved.
Dr. Nelson presented a study the University of Utah has done regarding conditions of mine seals and study on any gases that may build up in these areas. Many of these mine seals are on BLM land. In a closed entry area, with 10 people breathing the available air it didn't take long for Co2 to build up. They also looked at wind flow in these areas. The researchers went onsite in the Yellowcat uranium district near Moab and set up the monitoring equipment. They were on site for 36 hours. They would like to be able to leave monitoring equipment out longer, but in that public area someone must stay with the equipment. Another site test was conducted at the Tower Mine where the monitoring equipment was left for a couple of months. Everything was within safe levels. One thing they found out was the wind speed was higher than expected at the mine seal. More study is needed into mine seals and their safety.
Professor Nelson said he is encouraged by the number of students interested in mining engineering. There has been a big increase in students, but no increase in professors so they are working extra hard to educate these students. They are always looking for grants so they can conduct more research to make the mining industry safer.

I am very concerned about "local" control over our future. Has anybody noticed how much money "outsiders" have been putting into the campaign to oppose the monument? This money is coming from a single-issue special interest group-the off-road recreationists. They represent a very narrow recreation interest that couldn't care less about what's best for Emery County.
They aren't concernced about our water rights. They aren't concerned about our grazing rights! They aren't concerned about building our local economy. We can't let these outsiders hijack the future of the San Rafael Swell. We share their concerns about access, but we can't sacrifice our local priorities for the narrow interests of outsiders.
We can't let them kill our best chance to have local contol over our future. That's why it's so important that we vote "for" the monument process.

Can Not Wait for next season!
Kaká is not really the biggest deal. He has been a former player for a couple of years. He will probably be great in the US (as Villa will be in NY), because your league lacks real quality, but in Europe he has been like a crippled dude.
Now you Americans can watch sports where crackers are just tokens, and the players are criminals in their main percentage (not related to race, just to nationality) like basketball, your football (best named as hand-stewiegriffin, or baseball).ReplyCancel
There are far more people who do actually watch and care about footy than you might think.
USA did fantastic yesterday. I was hoping they'd go all the way to the final, with the Dutch winning, but it wasn't meant to be.
In fairness, the Belgium team all first team players. A lot of champs on that team.
My weekends revolve around footy. I grew up watching it.

Nope. We love soccer in my house. For those of us who live in the NY/NJ area (Count, I'm talking to you), you really need to hit a NY Red Bulls game. They are a BLAST!ReplyCancel
